About this property

Lechlade 4.2 miles. 2 The Gardens is a charming, stone-built cottage set on the edge of Lechlade-on-Thames in Oxfordshire. Perfectly positioned within easy reach of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this pet-friendly retreat offers a welcoming base for families and friends seeking a relaxing village escape, complete with a warming woodburning stove and convenient off-road parking.

Arrive via the gravel driveway and admire the honeyed stone exterior, before stepping inside to discover a thoughtfully arranged interior. The inviting sitting room sets the tone, where exposed wooden beams frame the space and plush seating gathers around the crackling woodburning stove, creating a cosy spot to unwind after a day of exploring. Whether enjoying a quiet evening with the TV or catching up with loved ones, this room encourages you to slow the pace.

To the rear, the contemporary kitchen/diner blends style and practicality, with sleek worktops and a sociable breakfast bar providing the perfect place for morning coffee or relaxed conversation while meals are prepared. Designed with togetherness in mind, it’s an ideal space for everything from leisurely breakfasts to hearty evening suppers.

Upstairs, three well-presented bedrooms offer flexible accommodation. A charming single room provides a snug retreat, while two doubles each feature characterful beams and tasteful décor; one enjoys a spacious feel with wooden flooring, while the other embraces a cosier, carpeted finish. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath and overhead shower, ideal for a refreshing start or soothing end to the day.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden offers a simple yet pleasant space to relax, with a patio and seating for alfresco moments in the fresh country air. With off-road parking and room for four-legged friends, every detail has been considered for a fuss-free stay.

The surrounding Cotswolds countryside provides endless opportunities for exploration, with picturesque villages and rolling landscapes at every turn.

Venture further afield to discover the much-loved market towns of Burford and Bibury, both renowned for their quintessential Cotswold charm, honey-coloured stone cottages and inviting tearooms. Daylesford Organic Farm near Moreton-in-Marsh is also well worth a visit, offering an award-winning farm shop, café and tranquil grounds. For families, the Cotswold Wildlife Park and the fascinating Crocodiles of the World promise memorable days out for children of all ages.

For a wider range of attractions, Cirencester invites you to explore its Roman heritage at the Corinium Museum, stroll through Cirencester Park or browse the vibrant Market Place, while historic Oxford offers world-famous architecture, museums and cultural experiences, including the Ashmolean Museum and Bodleian Library.
