About this property
Delightful, barn cottage in peaceful rural village. Walks, pubs, scenery. Relax!
DAIRY YARD COTTAGE forms part of a listed stone barn, dating back to the eighteenth century, which has been sympathetically renovated, retaining many of the period features and character of the original farm building, such as flagstone floor, beamed ceilings and exposed timbers.
Carefully restored and decorated in a classic, country style with neutral colours, sea grass floor coverings etc., it provides a comfortable base, in a peaceful rural setting, from which to discover the Cotswolds.
It is an ideal retreat for a couple or small family and many of our visitors have become regular guests here.
Spread over two floors, the entrance hall, with cloakroom/ WC, leads through to a light, airy, reception room with plenty of space for both relaxing and dining. The door from the main room leads to a modest size, well equipped, fitted kitchen. An easy rise staircase opens onto a spacious landing, two pretty bedrooms and a bathroom. The main bedroom has a king size bed with bedside tables, wardrobe, dressing table, etc and there is sufficient space to erect a travel cot for guests with a baby. The second bedroom is smaller, has twin beds and is ideal for an additional adult guest or children. The bathroom, with basin and WC, has a fitted shower over the bath. There is plenty of off street parking directly outside the cottage.
Dairy Yard Cottage is set within the grounds of Home Farm, a classic Cotswold stone farmhouse, where we have lived for almost three decades. Our four children had a wonderful 'free range' childhood growing up here, surrounded by dogs, cats, chickens and with sheep and horses grazing in the fields beyond - we are now welcoming our grandchildren here! Our guests also appear to get enormous pleasure enjoying the space and rural atmosphere of the area and a chance to unwind in the gently, rolling Cotswold hills.
