The cottage is a Grade II listed building and is believed to have been built as a home for the Canon of Gloucester. The entrance is via a stunning stone archway, which leads to a porch and a jaw-dropping hallway dominated by an ancient flagstoned floor. The sitting room is resplendent with Tudor-style features, including a fireplace and authentic exposed beams that adorn the entire ceiling. The living space is both uncluttered and spacious, furnished with classic velvet chairs and sofas, and perfect for relaxation, reflection, and time spent with loved ones.
The open, vaulted kitchen is perfect for open-plan, family living, with ample space for dining, entertaining, and catching up after a long day of sightseeing in the heart of the Cotswolds. Double French doors lead to a secure courtyard, where visitors can enjoy the glorious Cotswolds sunshine by relaxing at the courtyard table or take a stroll into the Secret Garden for an adventure.
The first floor of the cottage is just as impressive as the ground floor, with two king-size bedrooms adorned by authentic exposed ceiling beams. There is also a fully equipped family bathroom, complete with a shower attachment, and another shower room on the ground floor. A brief climb up the second flight of stairs reveals another stunning king-size bedroom and a small bunk room, making this cottage ideal for family or group holidays.
