Laurel Cottage makes a wonderful first impression, welcoming you with a short stroll along its perfectly picturesque front garden. Combining the most sought-after country-cottage must haves you discover a chic home highlighted by original features.
Warmed by both the woodburning stove and wonderfully comfortable furnishings, you feel at ease as soon as you step inside. With both the living room and central sitting area you have a choice of how to spend your time so you can make this space your own. The children can watch TV while you share a glass of champagne, or you can all gather for family game night. Pulling open the doors to the garden you can expand the kitchen/diner, bringing the outdoors in for meals together. Two first floor bedrooms and a ground floor single offer a lovely retreat and for a real taste of luxury, take time to yourself for a soak in the clawfoot bath.
Safely enclosed by Cotswold stone walls, the dog can play while leisurely evenings are spent glass in hand as the sun goes down over village rooftop views. From your doorstep a circular footpath to Bibury takes you to the much-photographed cottages of Arlington Row and nearby visit Cirencester, Burford and Cotswold Water Park for a day full of adventure.
Ground Floor
Living Room
Looking across the front garden, the living room is a comforting space to relax and spend time with your friends and family. Sink into the sofa with a good book chosen from the selection available, light the fire and let time pass you by. Gather together on rainy days to play board games or showcase a movie marathon on the smart TV.
Inner Hall
If you'd like to take some time to yourself, take a seat here with a cup of coffee and flick through the day's papers or plan tomorrow's walk using one of the handy guides.
Cloakroom
The dramatic cloakroom is just what you need for getting ready to head out for the day. Decorated in a deep grey it is a contrast to the other light rooms found at Laurel Cottage.
Bedroom Three
Tucked off to the side of the inner hall, bedroom three has a single bed beneath a high beamed ceiling. Making the most of this space you can unpack using the hanging rail and keep your current read bedside.
Kitchen/Dining Room
Full of light with high ceilings and beautiful exposed beams the kitchen becomes the hub of the house. A very sociable room, you can keep the chef of your group company and set the table for an elegant meal. Made for roast dinners and satisfying home cooked meals the Rangemaster has plenty of space for all your courses and you will find cupboards galore for stashing supplies brought from home.
Utility Room
At the end of the kitchen, the utility provides extra space to sort your holiday laundry keeping it out of sight and out of mind as much as possible. A washing machine and tumble dryer make easy work of these necessary tasks.
First Floor
Bedroom One
At the end of the day, the master bedroom exudes relaxation with gentle tones and a comfortable double bed. Put all your belongings away in the built-in storage making this bedroom feel more like home and keeping your luggage out of sight.
Bedroom Two
The second double bedroom is similarly serene letting you stretch out undisturbed morning lie ins for as long as possible.
Bathroom
Adding a splash of luxury, the fabulous bathroom has a clawfoot freestanding bath, hard to resist when full of bubbles after a long country walk. An elegantly tiled shower is also on-hand for refreshing before heading out to the pub for a meal.
Outside
The lawned front garden at Laurel Cottage is a wonderful spot to soak in this location at the start of the day. Moving around to the rear of the house, an enclosed lawn with two sitting areas is made for family breakfasts and garden games with the children.
