Pear Tree Cottage (Cherington)

About this property

Settled in an enviable position in the peaceful, rural village of Cherington, rests this stylish property, Pear Tree Cottage. Within easy reach of amenities and attractions, the cottage makes for the perfect home-from-home getaway for families with older children, couples and groups of friends who are seeking a relaxing break in this untouched area of the Cotswolds.

Be welcomed by the pretty patio garden and marvel at the lovely pear tree that grows up the front wall, as you enter through the front door of the cottage, directly into the sitting room; this characterful room makes for the perfect space for you and your loved ones to sink into the welcoming sofas of an evening as you catch up on your favourite TV show whilst sipping on a glass of wine, as the woodburning stove creates a gentle glow in the room, and keeps you warm and toasty on those cold winter evenings.

Moving through the property you will come to the smart dining room, which is a lovely area to relax and unwind whilst tucking into your delicious meals, sat by the fine Crittal window, whilst the woodburning stove crackles away in the background.

Rustle up heart-warming meals in the well-presented kitchen where you will find everything you need during your self-catering stay including an electric cooker and hob. Pop on some tunes on the radio whilst you’re cooking and get well stuck into the chef role!

A useful utility room sits adjacent to the kitchen, with space for coats and shoes as well as a washer/dryer, microwave and additional fridge.

Upstairs, the older children can venture into the twin bedroom, as you and your loved one retreat to the king-size bedroom and admire the quiet village lane through the bay window.

You can look forward to a relaxing soak amongst the bubbles in the bath later on, or perhaps an invigorating rinse in the walk-in shower.

A stunning walled garden sits outside, with a lawn area bordered by a boxed hedge and pretty flowers that bloom in the summer, as well as another beautiful garden accessed through a gap in the wall where you will find another lawn area with plenty of fruit trees. Be sure to make us of the charcoal barbecue in summer months and enjoy some alfresco dining, whilst looking out across the stunning views of the Cotswold hills and countryside beyond.

Stroll over to the parish church of St Nicolas, a Grade I listed building, that is made from rubble stone, squared on tower and Cotswold stone slate roof, a beautiful building to pass by on your walks through the village.

The neighbouring village of Avening has two popular pubs, The Bell Inn and Queen Matilda Country Inn, as well as an organic farm shop where you can pick up produce for your home-cooking!

Avid walkers and cyclists will be delighted to find many cycle and walk routes passing through Cherington, including those through the local bluebell woods and those slightly further afield on Minchinhampton Common and the Woodchester Valley.

Stroll across Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons to experience stunning scenery, as well as offering one of the three local 18-hole golf courses for an afternoon of family fun.

Stroud can be found within easy reach, hosting a farmers’ market on Saturdays, as well as being known for its vibrant music, poetry and artistic scene or head to Cheltenham for its renowned science, literature and music festivals or for a day at the races!

For a memorable holiday that you and your loved ones will cherish forever, stay at Pear Tree Cottage.

Tetbury retains a wealth of character within its ancient streets. The town’s origins date back to 681, but it was during the Middle Ages that it flourished as one of the major markets for The Cotswold wool trade. Nowadays The Market Hall is still home to a busy general market every Wednesday, whilst the town as a whole is something of a mecca for antique hunters with several shops in the town and regular fairs in the vicinity. Closeby is the Forestry Commission’s Westonbirt Arboretum, one of the largest collections of rare shrubs and trees in Europe, whilst further afield (but still within easy driving distance) are the elegant Regency cities of Bath and Cheltenham, Shakespeare’s Stratford and other attractions such as the internationally renowned Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust.
