The Weaver's Loft is on the first floor of the East Wing in a very special Grade II listed, holiday let in the beautiful Cotswold village of Chalford. Just a short drive away is the 'Capital of the Cotswolds' Cirencester, Painswick, Cheltenham, Stroud, the antiques center of Tetbury, the World Heritage City of Bath, Bourton-on-the-Water and much more.
The recently refurbished accommodation is a fabulous loft-style apartment comprising a large open plan living/dining area complete with wood burner and under floor heating throughout. There is a a fully equipped modern kitchen, 1 double with fabulous views of the valley and an ensuite shower and toilet and 1 bunk room and separate bathroom.
The Loft forms part of a large listed property, once occupied by the owner of one of the local mills. The Weaver's Loft is believed to be originally a 'factory' floor for the weaving of wool or silk from Sevilles' Mill.
Chalford is in some of the most beautiful countryside in the whole range of the Cotswolds (and even the country). Nestled in the Golden Valley, one of Stroud's Five Valleys, Chalford is described as the Alpine Village with its steep hills and houses perched along small donkey tracks. A walkers' paradise with beautiful scenery around every corner. The narrow High Street winds its way through the village past an amazing array of characterful cottages.
Chalford was once a centre for the wool industry, with many Listed mills dotted along the old Thames and Severn Canal. Many houses you still can't drive to and the community of Chalford has even re-established use of a donkey for grocery deliveries! In the village is a small shop run by volunteers selling a selection of lovely organic goodies and a short walk away are some great pubs for beer, wine, good food and stunning sunsets.
Please note: There is also a beautiful 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom Cottage Annex available to rent either with the Loft or separately - check out listing #249926.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
My husband and I fell in love with our beautiful Grade II listed home in the Cotswolds. We bought it in 2005 and have been lovingly refurbishing it since along with occasional help (and hindrance) from our young daughter, Freya, and our playful chocolate Labrador, Revel.
Why the Owner Chose Cirencester
We already knew the village of Chalford - the Alpine village as it is often known - and loved the strong community feel, the beautiful valley and walks plus being so accessible from across the country. The Saturday morning donkey deliveries are a plus for guests and us as well!
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
Where to start? There are so many things to do from staying nearby and enjoying the walks, the river, the fresh air and beautiful Cotswold villages to travelling a little further and seeing the regency town of Bath or the spires of Oxford or the race courses, the polo, the wildlife park, playing golf, groceries delivered by donkey to your doorstep ..... Even a day-trip to London is possible with a 1.25 hour train journey into Paddington.
