This annexe-style abode is located beside Minchinhampton Common, where horses and cattle graze as walkers revel in wide views westwards over the Severn Estuary into Wales, and eastwards to the Golden Valley. Less than a mile away, the market town of Minchinhampton sits atop a hill, its winding lanes and stone cottages full of charm. Stop by for a choice of cosy cafés or enjoy a well-earned drink in the local pub after a day exploring the surrounding common. On Thursdays, don’t miss the traditional country market — perfect for stocking up on local produce and treats. Noted for its steep streets, Stroud (3.5 miles) has a rich history in the textile industry, and is home to a vibrant arts and crafts scene plus a well-regarded farmers' market – all set against the dramatic backdrop of the Five Valleys, The Cotswold Way runs through the town, and you can enjoy waterside walks beside the Stroudwater Canal, currently being restored to its former glory.
At the heart of one of the UK’s most beautiful landscapes, this divine hideaway sits within well-tended, gated grounds bordered by a dry-stone wall and greenery. Three steps take you up to the entrance; across the threshold you’ll find a restful open-plan living space with high ceilings and pretty windows that allow in light and fresh air from both sides. Immediately ahead, the kitchen has modern country styling and houses all the essentials for fuss-free self-catering. Once you’ve worked your culinary magic, a circular dining table sits before a window so that mealtimes come with a side-serving of verdant views. Load the dishwasher then adjourn to the lounge area where you can snuggle on the sofa and stream your favourite movies on the Smart TV for a romantic night-in. When it’s time to sleep a king-size bed evokes the property’s period credentials; close by, the shower room has a modern monochrome colour scheme.
Driveway parking means you can unpack and explore at leisurely pace; continue that relaxed vibe with snacks and refreshments on the enclosed decking area by your front door. Beyond, the garden has a lawn and some lovely seasonal planting. Please note this property does not accept infants, babes in arms welcome.
