This former Nissen hut has been transformed into an enchanting countryside retreat that offers the best of the Cotswolds’ bucolic landscapes right on your doorstep. Inside, a simple, sophisticated decor sets the scene for a comfortable stay with a wood-burning fireplace in the living area inviting you to curl up on the sofa beside it with your morning coffee or in the evenings with a glass of wine and a board game. The open-plan layout here is ideal for socialising, and the views of the Vale of Evesham from the kitchen’s picture window are swoon-worthy whether you’re grabbing a quick bite to eat pre-walk at the breakfast bar or sitting down to a feast at the beautiful whitewashed dining table. With three comfortable bedrooms – each proferring pretty views of the vale or the surrounding fields – you’ll have no trouble finding a peaceful night’s sleep in your quiet country setting. And the underfloor heating will keep your toes toasty even on the chilliest of days. Factor in the private garden too with its picnic table and barbecue, and you’re all set to enjoy alfresco dining, whether in the glorious afternoon sun or under the twinkle of starlight. Outside of... your home, you’re just a ten-minute stroll from the scenic Cotswold Way at Dover’s Hill – home to the Cotswold Olimpicks – while a five-minute drive takes you to the beautiful town of Chipping Campden. The nearest train station is Honeybourne, a seven-minute drive away, with regular trains to and from London Paddington.
