This former chapel sits within easy reach of classic Cotswolds destinations and is just 400 metres from a pet-friendly pub. Gorgeous gardens and a wood burner in both lounges add all-year appeal.
Private parking makes light work of unloading luggage and pets; step through the hallway and into the first social hub of your holiday home. High ceilings and arched windows add wow-factor to this spacious living room; stretch out on a choice of soft seating with the dogs by your feet and light the wood burner. A circular table in one corner makes the perfect setting for board games; in another area, the formal dining table sits before doors onto the garden. A second lounge with its own wood burner and a Smart TV is adjacent, allowing everyone space to spread out. The kitchen has high-end appliances, a door onto the garden and a utility room. Settle the pups in their beds here before heading up the open staircase to the first-floor galleried landing where a choice of four restful bedrooms awaits. Choose from three double bedrooms and a cosy twin; a family bathroom and a sleek shower room on this level ensure convenience for all, while a separate WC is on the ground floor. For a sniff of fresh country air, the garden to the front of the property has pretty cottage planting and bistro-style furniture. To the rear, the enclosed garden has a lawn where children and pets can play, plus al fresco dining furniture.
Aldsworth delivers an authentic taste of Cotswolds life, with a characterful inn, ancient church and countryside walks from the doorstep. It’s 3 miles from Bibury – ‘the most beautiful village in England’ according to William Morris – and 5 miles from Burford, famous for its bustling shops, historic buildings and smokery. Sniff-out other classic locations such as Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold (both within 12 miles) or enjoy tail-wagging walks around the National Trust’s Lodge Park and Sherborne Park Estate (2.5 miles).
