High Pump Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Tucked away in the northern Cotswolds, where country lanes fringed with cow parsley and buttercups meander through impossibly pretty villages and sheep-filled fields, you'll find Ebrington and High Pump Cottage. The garden path leads you past the original water pump to the front door and into a cottage that is both stylish and elegant yet still filled with character and charm. A wood-burning stove brings warmth on cooler days, whilst the beautiful, decked terrace is a place for lazy afternoons and outside dining.

The interior colour scheme of pale greys, creams and mocha ensures a feeling of light and space. Polished flagstones, exposed stone and beams are the star features of the elegant sitting room, along with a wood-burning stove. This in turn leads you through to the rear of the cottage where you'll find a ground-floor shower room and a beautiful kitchen and dining area. It's a gorgeous space and the epitome of a stylish English country cottage. Upstairs is equally delightful, with two bedrooms, a king-size and a double, and a second bathroom with a slipper bath.

Behind High Pump Cottage is a pretty cottage garden with a stunning deck and a stylish set of garden furniture, creating a very usable outside space. Relax with your morning coffee in the sunshine or enjoy alfresco dining as the sun sets. Hidden in the garden you'll also find the garden room, a second living space for the cottage with comfortable seating, a desk and a wood-burning stove. If you can't leave work behind this is an ideal spot. There is no allocated parking but on-street parking outside the cottage is freely available.

To the front of High Pump Cottage is a charming garden with the original water pump taking pride of place. The rear garden is accessed via the kitchen. Closest to the house is a stylish decked area with an elegant outside dining set. It's a really lovely space for relaxing and just listening to the sounds of birdsong. Beyond this is the garden room and then beyond this, the rest of the enclosed garden, which is laid to lawn. There is no allocated parking for the cottage but on-street parking is freely available at the front of the property.
