About this property
Situated in the centre of the picturesque village of Kemble, this charming, stone-built property is perfect for small families or couples planning adventures across the Cotswolds National Landscape. Make full use of the village amenities nearby, including two dog-friendly pubs, a well-stocked village store, Friday night wood-fired pizza van, and Saturday morning coffee and pastry van. Walkers are spoiled for trails all around, including a trail close by that leads to the source of the River Thames. For nearby towns and villages with plenty of charm, head to the market town of Cirencester (4 miles) for independent shops, restaurants and weekly markets, or Tetbury (8 miles) with its bustling streets and historic architecture. Enjoy days of outdoor fun at the Cotswold Water Park (3 miles), where water sports opportunities and nature reserves await, a man-made beach with a café and play areas, or visit Westonbirt Arboretum (11 miles) for tree-top walks and other seasonal events.
Before stepping into this inviting home, take a moment to appreciate its stone façade that hints at its history as a telephone exchange. Head inside to find that the property has been lovingly renovated into a chic and well-appointed base for your adventures. Kick off walking boots in the entrance hall – where you’ll find an Ordnance Survey map for planning holiday hikes – and move through to the open-plan living space that combines the lounge and diner. Here, vaulted ceilings add to the charm while floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light. Settle in the lounge space after busy days exploring; fire up the wood burner, flick on the Smart TV and settle into the comfy seating. When it’s time to eat, find that the well-appointed kitchen boasts everything needed for a self-catered stay, while the round dining table offers the perfect spot for enjoying group meals. For some quiet time, or to answer any mid-holiday emails, head up the floating stairs to the mezzanine level and find a home office area. There is a twin bedroom downstairs, which is served by the adjacent family shower room. Up on the first floor and completing the interior is a master king-size bedroom with its very own en-suite bathroom with a free-standing tub for soaking weary walking muscles.
Outside, make full use of the garden, and gather at the furnished patio for morning coffees and al fresco evening meals. The dogs will love this enclosed space, while guests will also benefit from private, off-road parking for one car.
