Seller Insight

Cotswold House has played host to many a family celebration over the years with its generous rooms and flow.

The house has beautiful bones and areas that are perfect for either entertaining or taking it slow, or even working from home. The early sun rises on the front of the house and then shines all day in the back garden blasting through the kitchen windows.

We love a morning coffee in the kitchen with the sliding doors open, listening to the birds singing. We have resident robins, black birds, wood pigeons, doves, blue tits & sparrows. In the evening sometimes you get to hear our beautiful local church bells ring from a couple of streets away.

In the winter the house is cosy with its abundance of fireplaces and the toasty kitchen aga and in the summer the house stays cool due to its thick stone walls.

We are spoilt for choice being so well placed in town, from our favourite Artisan Bakery for the best sourdough and croissants, award winning oat milk flat whites from our favourite coffee spot, the most incredible farm to table food, to the most authentic Thai meals, plus so much more, the high street is an ever changing canvas.

We have everything in the high street here. A Bank, Pharmacy, Doctors, Dentist, Pet Shop, Vets, Hairdressers, Beauty Salon, Deli/Artisan Cheese, Butchers, Various Supermarkets, Pubs, Cafes, and lastly a fantastic Wine Bar. All a few mins walk away and no car needed.

The ‘Mothership’ Daylesford Organic Farm is 10mins drive and we are surrounded by some of the best pubs in the Cotswolds.

Cotswold House is a great base.*
