What does the panel think?

I doubt if you would find one more than approx 3m to 4m. The weight
and base width rise quite a bit in a non-linear way the longer the
telescopic ladder.

Your gutter is probably more like 6m from the ground and for a ladder
to reach with the required lean you probably want more like 8 to 10m.
Ideally you want a ladder that reaches beyond the gutter. Working on
the inside of a gutter from a ladder that only reaches to below the
gutter is a PITA and possibly considered dangerous.

Screwfix do one at 4.4m.

I saw this one on Amazon:

but I wouldn't feel very confident with it's strength.

A 2 story Victorian house typically has higher than average ceilings too.

He did say a cottage, though. Mine (OK, Georgian) is also on sloping
ground so IIRC I can easily reach one set of gutters with the telescopic
ladder
