The Property
Embodying the essence of Cotswold living, Barberi Cottage is a charming period home believed to date back to circa 1790. Steeped in local history and occupying a generous plot, the property enjoys beautifully landscaped gardens and an exceptional degree of privacy. In recent years, the cottage has been comprehensively refurbished by the current owners, successfully combining modern comforts with its period character. Improvements include limestone flagstone flooring with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, Accoya hardwood windows with traditional ironmongery, and elegant oak internal doors. At the heart of the home is a magnificent inglenook fireplace featuring exposed Cotswold stone walling and an inset log burning stove, creating a warm and inviting focal point. An entrance porch opens into the dual aspect sitting room, a characterful space showcasing the impressive fireplace, exposed stone walling, ceiling beams and attractive flagstone flooring. A staircase rises to the first floor, while an oak doorway leads through to the kitchen/dining room. The bright dual aspect kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of shaker style wall and base units, under cabinet lighting, solid wood worktops and a traditional Belfast sink, creating a space that is both practical and in harmony with the cottage. Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility/boot room with additional storage, oak shelving and a skylight. A cloakroom is accessed from the utility room, while a stable door opens onto a versatile oak framed covered log store and boot area. The first floor comprises a bright landing, two well proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Both bedrooms enjoy deep window seats and attractive garden views. The fully tiled bathroom is fitted with a stylish double ended bath with a thermostatic rainfall shower over. Property Info: Mains drainage. Oil fired central heating.

The gardens of the cottage are a true triumph of design and will particularly appeal to those seeking the charm of a quintessential English cottage garden. Carefully planned to provide year round colour, texture and interest, the garden offers a wonderfully tranquil setting that invites exploration. As you wander through its various areas, new features are gradually revealed around each corner, creating a sense of discovery and delight. One of the garden’s most effective design elements is the way in which the boundaries are subtly concealed from view, enhancing the feeling of space and giving the impression that the gardens extend far beyond their actual limits. There are two attractive patio areas, ideal for al fresco dining, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying a morning coffee while taking in the peaceful surroundings. The gardens also feature a well maintained lawn, complemented by an impressive variety of mature trees, shrubs and flowering plants. A pathway meanders through the garden, leading to a gravelled parking area that provides space for two vehicles.
