Perfectly positioned between the market towns of Stroud and Cirencester, this charming two-bedroom cottage makes an ideal base for exploring the Cotswolds. Nestled in the quiet, cultured village of Chalford, the home spans two floors but is unusually flipped, with both bedrooms found on the ground floor and sharing an adjoining door. The upstairs living room, dining area and kitchen all come well equipped and thoughtfully furnished, while guests are free to wander the expansive grounds and fully appreciate the peaceful woodland setting.
