When evening draws in, retire to the inviting drawing room with a large, stone inglenook fireplace and yet another wood burning stove, traditional leaded windows and exposed beams are complemented by the tasteful and comfortable furnishings. The cosy snug is the ideal place to escape to and find some quiet time or enjoy a movie. There is also a convenient shower room located downstairs.

Outside, a beautiful, raised terraced garden is reached by steps (with a handrail). Please take care here and keep an eye on young children as there is a drop down. Garden furniture is provided on the patio area for enjoying al-fresco meals on warm, sunny days.

A lovely, very comfortable house well equipped and great for a group of friends to enjoy a pre Christmas get together in a lovely village with a friendly pub. Ideally placed to visit the Cotswolds villages.
