Vendors' thoughts: "The house has worked brilliantly for us as a family. Having renovated and extended the cottage, we have made it work brilliantly for entertaining but it also feels lovely and cosy when it has just been the family here. The garden is so peaceful and we’ve enjoyed many afternoons and evenings having BBQs and embracing the space. The views and sunsets are stunning! The village is gorgeous and everyone is so friendly. There are plenty of beautiful country walks to explore directly from the house, and driving to Cheltenham or commuting to London is easy. We hope the new owners enjoy the house and its setting as much as we have."
In a nutshell: A wonderful Cotswold home with character and charm in a superb spot!
