Magical Cottage in a Hidden Costswolds Valley

As you descend the winding road from the busy motorway from Oxford, you
approach a quiet village:"ComptonAbdale is a pretty cotswold village that sits in a valley.Asmall clean stream splashes along the side of the village road. At the crossroads in the centre of the village there is a carved stone head of a crocodile with stream water gushing out of its mouth. From the crocodile a steep path leads up to the old church of St.Oswalds".

Below the path sits Riverside Cottage. Park your car at the village crossroads, by the Crocodile, a natural spring treasured since Roman times. Walk a short way along the road bordered by the little river of spring water flowing under the front doorstep of the cottage. Duck your head as you open
the old front door. On your right is a tiny dining room with a fireplace and a little round table to eat at. Continue through to the well Cequipped galley kitchen to put the kettle on. Make your way back through the dining room around to the cozy sitting room where you can settle into an easy chair to read. By the side door off the kitchen is a rustic flagstone patio surrounded by high stone walls.It's a great place to sit out in the morning. Upstairs are two bedrooms, each with a double bed. The ground floor bathroom with soaking tub and integral shower completes the house.
It's quite small, but alsocharming, and is furnished to a good standard with antique country furniture.
Accommodation Two bedrooms, one bathroom with bath, shower over, basin and WC. Galley kitchen. Dining room with wood burning fireplace. Sitting room with settee and upholstered chair.
