Positioned within North Cotswolds in an AONB, this Grade II-listed holiday home is a true country retreat, surrounded by rolling hills, footpaths and woodland. From the doorstep, there is access to footpaths and bridleways leading to the market town of Winchcombe being 4 miles. The town itself provides a plethora of eateries and activities for guests of all ages.

Adjacent to the property is Saint Michael's Church, an example of Norman architecture dating back some 800 years. The Prescott Speed Hill Climb is just 1.5 miles from the property and hosts year-round events. Sudeley Castle is 4.5 miles away and has ten stunning gardens covering some 15 acres within a 1,200-acre estate.

Numerous fishing lakes are within a 10-mile radius. Cheltenham is 8 miles away, and the historical Gloucester Cathedral where Harry Potter was filmed is within 20 miles and makes for a fantastic day out. The front door opens into a rustic open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area with gorgeous, exposed beams.

The well-equipped kitchen has everything required to cook up a hearty breakfast or a scrumptious evening meal. The cosy lounge area with a two-seater sofa, two armchairs, and a warming wood burner for those cooler evenings is the perfect place to relax after a busy day exploring the local area. To the left of this area through a sliding door via a step is a cosy double bedroom with beautiful, exposed brickwork, patio doors leading outside and an en-suite shower room.

From the living area, stairs lead to the first floor which has a larger king-size bedroom with more exposed beams, a dressing table and seating area, and access to an external stairwell. Servicing this bedroom is a shower room and separate wardrobe space. Outside, there is a beautifully, quirky, enclosed courtyard garden with stunning views, a large dining table and sun loungers.

Whether you're seeking outdoor adventures or simply a countryside escape, this cottage in North Cotswolds could be a great stay amidst nature.
