North Cotswold Cottage near Chipping Norton with rural views - Oxfordshire

A spacious North Cotswold family stone cottage with four bedrooms (sleeps 8 in 2 kings, 1 double and a small double) in one of the Cotswolds highest villages on a quiet village green. It has; a cosy log burner in the lounge; a large, light and spacious oak framed kitchen with a snug overlooking a beautiful English view to the village church across the fields behind.

The house enjoys a shower/w.c and king size room on the ground floor for those who need ground floor access (2 steps up to kitchen/diner).

A large private front garden and a quiet rear garden with a high sunny terrace with a beautiful view across the fields to enjoy whilst you eat your breakfast or BBQ.

Please note: Our house is a reasonably tidy family home, and though clean, it is not immaculate. We will of course give it a big tidy and spring clean before the swap. There is a very large paddling pool and a large number of varied old bicycles and other games for use, plus easy access to the back field for little explorers!

A nature lovers paradise where you can watch cows, swifts pass you at face height to nest in the eaves, bats and sparrow hawks, owls, kestrels, red kite`s in the back fields and we can promise you this is the closest you will ever come to a near collision with a swift whilst you enjoy your G&T!
