Horsefair Cottage is a glorious example of a Cotswolds cottage, tucked away within a charming terrace of golden-hued stone homes. With its elegant sash windows, this period cottage exudes all the character and charm you would expect from a quintessential Malmesbury bolthole.
As you step inside, prepare to be surprised by the spaciousness that awaits. The cottage is thoughtfully designed to offer a stylishly comfortable retreat, with two characterful double bedrooms. One of these, a beautiful attic room, offers breathtaking views toward the iconic Malmesbury Abbey. Settle down for the day in front of the large wood burner in the living room, the ultimate place to unwind. The heart of the home lies in the kitchen and dining area, a sun-drenched space that benefits from an impressive atrium ceiling. Every detail has been carefully considered to blend historical character with contemporary convenience.
Horsefair Cottage is also dog friendly, ensuring that your four-legged companions can share in the joy of this remarkable cottage. For outdoor lovers, a private courtyard area provides a lovely retreat. The garden is adorned with pretty climbing rose trees, and the addition of a BBQ and rattan dining suite make this a wonderful space for alfresco dining or simply soaking in the Cotswold air.
