About this property
Toddington 4.5 miles. Cotswold Cottage is a welcoming house resting in Ford, Gloucestershire, enjoying countryside views, private parking, an enclosed garden, and a characterful woodburning stove. Well suited to families, friends, contractors, and guests travelling with dogs, this traditional Cotswold retreat provides an inviting base for exploring one of England’s most picturesque regions. Step inside and discover a home brimming with rural charm. Exposed beams and a striking stone inglenook fireplace create a sense of history in the sitting room, where the crackle of the woodburning stove sets the scene after days spent out in the countryside. Gather around for board games, challenge one another to a game of table football, or simply unwind with a favourite film on the TV.
