Cosy Cottage

About this property

This cosy little cottage in a charming quiet lane on the outskirts of Fulbrook dates back over 300 years and formed part of the Fulbrook Manor Estate.The cottage features many quaint and quirky details with low ancient beamed ceilings and crooked walls, which remind of centuries past and are so typical of old Cotswold buildings.

Step inside to a small lounge/dining room with an extendable dining table, a sofa and two armchairs, a smart TV and an electric faux wood burner for a cosy atmosphere at the end of a long day exploring. The small kitchenette, equipped with a two ring hob, combi microwave/oven, fridge, toaster, kettle and sink offers the option to have a simple relaxed meal at home should you be able to resist the many incredible pubs and restaurants on the doorstep. Through the kitchen is a rear door into a small enclosed back garden where you can enjoy a rest and a spot of sunshine and off to the side is the bathroom with a bath/shower.

The downstairs bedroom has a king size bed and enough extra room for an infant cot if needed and is just off the lounge. A spiral staircase leads up to a second open bedroom with 2 single beds, which can be pushed together if preferred.

Burford High Street is a 10 minute walk away and there are some wonderful country walks starting just at the end of the lane or there are plentiful options a short drive away. Further afield, discover the charming market towns of Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-in-Marsh or Cirencester. Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the’Venice of the Cotswolds’ and the nearby villages of Lower and Upper Slaughter, are well worth a visit to take a leisurely stroll along the river Windrush, admiring the pretty bridges and picturesque scenery. Other attractions worth adding to your itinerary include Blenheim Palace, Sudely Castle, Warwick Castle and numerous National Trust Properties in the region.

Cosy cottage is a bijou hideaway with ample parking and comfy beds for those keen to make the most of their days exploring the many attractions the Cotswolds have to offer.

Burford is possibly one of, if not the most famous of the Cotswolds' locations. With its medieval bridge, old stone houses and attractive Tudor and Georgian frontages, it is justifiably one of the most picturesque towns in England. Often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds', the town was originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon ford which later grew to be an important regional crossroads and wealthy wool town. Located midway between Oxford and Cheltenham, it is a little haven of history and beauty that many come to fall in love with when they visit. The 16th century Tolsey building, once the meeting place for medieval merchants, now houses The Tolsey Museum, a delightful local museum illustrating the town's social and industrial past. The church is stunning, a real gem architecturally with many interesting memorials charting some of Burford's great families. There is also the signature, on the baptisimal font, of Antony Sedley, one of the Levellers besieged in the church in 1649 - three of the ringleaders were executed by Oliver Cromwell's men in the churchyard. History awaits! With little change over the centuries, Burford is now very popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping and antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and tea shops. It is an ideal base for visiting The Cotswolds area as it is within easy driving distance of popular attractions such as Blenheim Palace, Sudeley Castle, Warwick Castle and several National Trust Houses and Gardens. Bourton on the Water, Bibury, Cirencester and Stow on the Wold are all within ten miles.
