Outside
Accessed via a gate, the front of the property opens onto an area where the bins are discreetly positioned, while a pathway leads around the side of the cottage to the rear courtyard. A few steps rise to a charming and private side garden, enclosed by mature hedging to the front and attractive Cotswold stone walls to the rear. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden is beautifully planted with established rose bushes and a variety of shrubs and flowering plants, creating a delightful cottage garden setting. Further steps lead to a raised terrace, an ideal spot for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. To the rear of the cottage are two distinct outdoor areas. One provides an excellent space for al fresco dining beside the garden shed, which benefits from power, while the second sits directly outside the kitchen, offering a convenient area for everyday use. The rear courtyard is framed by attractive Cotswold stone walls, deep planted borders and established hedging, creating a wonderfully private and characterful outdoor space
