You could be Princess Anne's neighbour after cottage goes on sale for £120,000

If you've ever fancied rubbing shoulders with royalty, this picturesque two-bed cottage could be your chance - and surprisingly, it won't cost you the earth.

It's by no means a palatial mansion, but it just down the road from the house in Stroud, Gloucestershire - a mere mile and a half - from Princess Anne 's sprawling Gatcombe Park residence.

The Princess Royal has called the estate her home since the 1970s, and spends most of her time there with husband Sir Timothy Laurence.

And it's only a few miles from Highgrove, Prince Charles' home, near Tetbury.

Admittedly, the property for sale does need quite a bit of work, but it could be yours for just £120,000, reports Gloucestershire Live .

The average house price in the area is a little more than this, sitting at a whopping £893,545, according to Zoopla.

The information for the property, marketing by Hammer Price Homes, reads: “This period property which boasts many original features briefly comprises:

"To the ground floor there is a living room, kitchen and utility/W.C.
