This late 18th-century detached barn conversion is situated in 2½-acre grounds complete with lake. Beautifully appointed and furnished to an exceptional standard and with an attractive garden. Situated off the A436 between Cheltenham and Bourton-on-the-Water, the location is ideal for exploration of this stunning region. With its picturesque villages such as Stow-on-the-Wold and magnificent churches built as the result of the medieval wool trade, the Cotswolds today are largely designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where long walks over the rolling hills can be enjoyed in comparative peace. With excellent restaurants (some with the coveted Michelin star award), pubs with delicious food and, in some cases, locally brewed beer, cafés and tea shops, the area abounds in things to do and see. Beautiful gardens such as Hidcote Manor and Kiftsgate Court, fascinating historic houses including Sudeley Castle and the exotic Sezincote House (forerunner of the Brighton Pavilion), Batsford Arboretum, Cotswold Wildlife Safari Park and the Cotswold Farm Park, home of rare breed sheep and cattle, leave little opportunity for wondering what to do. Slightly further afield, Stratford-upon-Avon is just 31 miles away and Oxford, 34 miles away. With the 18-hole Naunton Downs Golf Course only 3 miles away and country pubs from 2 miles, this is an ideal holiday base. Shop and P.O. 3 miles.
