This Grade II-listed cottage appears right out of a storybook. Honey-coloured stone, a roaring fire flanked by bookshelves, and exposed beams create an immediate sense of cosiness and heritage. It's not just all the traditional touches here, though. You'll find all the modern conveniences needed to unwind, from a well-appointed kitchen to streaming services on the smart TV. Outside, a tiered garden is the perfect spot to catch the sunshine or dine alfresco. Keen for a stroll? There are plenty of countryside walks on the doorstep. Or hop in the car and head to picturesque Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, or Cheltenham – all within easy driving distance.
