This charming, detached former coach house, located near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, dates back to the 14th century and has been beautifully renovated to maintain its original features, such as exposed beams, a stone fireplace, and external barn doors. The property comfortably sleeps six and is situated in the Heart of England, close to the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it an ideal retreat for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility.
The living space is designed for socializing, featuring a spacious dining kitchen with French doors that open onto a terrace and garden. A few steps lead to an inviting sitting room with a cozy open fire, perfect for relaxation. The ground floor also includes a small double bedroom, a shower room, and a separate cloakroom/WC.

Guests can enjoy breathtaking views of meadows and distant fields from both the house and the gardens.

The mature gardens feature various seating areas, a soothing pond for picnics or quiet contemplation, and a fun shepherd's hut for leisure, enhancing the overall appeal of the property.
While the grounds of this Cotswold retreat are inviting enough to spend an entire vacation, there are also nearby attractions worth exploring. The picturesque village of Guiting Power, just a short drive away, offers a village shop, bakery, and two pubs. Additionally, the family-friendly Bourton-on-the-Water, often referred to as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds,' is less than 7 miles away, while the charming towns of Stow-on-the-Wold and cosmopolitan Cheltenham are both within a 10-mile radius, providing a blend of local culture and amenities.
