Chestnut Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Surrounded by trees and the sound of birdsong, with gently rolling hills in the background, Chestnut Cottage offers a stylish place to stay within walking distance of Winchcombe. As you turn off the main road onto the tiny tree-lined country lane, the scene is set perfectly for your stay.

The entrance door leads into a long hallway, which runs in both directions, the wooden flooring creates a warm feel and multiple windows let in plenty of natural light. There are two spacious king-size bedrooms, with windows overlooking a green paddock to the rear, a beautiful bathroom with a double-ended bathtub, perfect for lazy bubble-filled soaks and a large, separate shower, plus a sunny kitchen-diner and a living room, with double doors out to a private patio.

Outside there is an enclosed private patio, with an access gate into the large paddock, surrounded by trees. Enjoy relaxed meals from the barbecue and soak up the rural landscape that surrounds you. The owners have rescue hens and lovely fresh eggs will often be available to purchase from an honesty box.

Ground Floor

Entrance Hall:
The long entrance hall runs in both directions from the front door with a wooden floor underfoot and plenty of windows letting in natural light. The natural lay of the land is sloping and the hall is multi-level, with two steps down towards the bathroom, two steps up to one of the bedrooms and two further steps up to the living areas. A long full-length mirror hangs at one end and the walls are lined with cupboards, providing useful storage.

Kitchen/Diner:
This bright, sunny room has a warm wooden floor, windows looking out to the courtyard at the front and paddock to the rear and has everything you need to prepare delicious meals. The well-equipped kitchen includes a range of built-in appliances with a washer-dryer, dishwasher and fridge with a small freezer box hidden neatly behind the smooth grey cupboard doors. A traditional butlers sink is set beneath the window looking out over the countryside beyond. The round wooden dining table seats four comfortably and is a cosy spot for sunny breakfasts and relaxed evening meals.

Living Room:
From the kitchen, there is a door into the living room, which is a light and airy space with windows on two sides and double doors out to the private patio. Bright pops of colour come from the two velvet sofas, one cobalt blue, the other moss green and a honey-hued rug covering the wooden floor. There's further seating with a mid-century leather chair set by the patio doors. Industrial style shelving highlights the rural, yet modern feel as does the stylish wall mirror, lighting, circular glass coffee table and wooden TV unit which houses the smart TV.

Bedroom One:
With a super-soft carpet on the floor and a comfortable king-size bed, strewn with woollen cushions and a William Morris design bedspread, this spacious room is warm and inviting. Beautiful rural views add to the feeling of calm and a glass pendant light adds a touch of glamour. Twin bedside tables stand on either side of the bed with reading lamps and storage comes in the form of a chest of drawers. There are also three hanging hooks on the wall and further storage can be found in the hallway cupboards.

Bedroom Two:
Boasting the same lovely rural views as bedroom one, this is a beautifully light and spacious room. The king-size bed has a William Morris bedspread and print cushions and two bedside tables with on-trend pineapple reading lamps sitting on either side. There's a chest of drawers, a dressing table and two hanging hooks, plus a wardrobe with hanging space can be found in the hall opposite the bedroom door.

Bathroom/Shower Room:
After a day tramping through the countryside retreat to this stylish and spacious bathroom, pour a glass of something chilled, fill the standalone bathtub with bubbles and relax. There's also a separate rainfall shower, WC, and a vanity unit with a handbasin and a well-lit mirror.

Outside

To the rear of the property, accessed through the double patio doors in the living room there is a private patio, enclosed by a picket fence and overlooking a grassy, tree-lined paddock. Guests are welcome to enjoy this space and there is an access gate from your patio. There's a wooden table and bench-style seating, perfect for alfresco meals or simply enjoying a drink as you soak up the countryside views around you. A charcoal barbecue is also provided and there is parking for two/three cars in the courtyard at the front of the cottage.
