General Description of Property
A warm welcome awaits you at Barn End - a Cotswold stone cottage which is set in mature gardens and furnished to a high standard. The 300 year old building was originally a stable barn for working horses on the former manor farm.
Barn End is a spacious cottage in an area of outstanding natural beauty and close to the heart of the charming conservation village of Biddestone which is described as the quintessential English village. It is situated on the SE edge of the Cotswolds with its pale golden stone that makes the buildings so warm and distinctive. The centre of the village boasts gracious houses and cottages around a village green and duckpond. There is an ancient church and two pubs both serving meals.
Access to Bath is very easy especially if you use the Lansdown Park and Ride.
We are ideally placed for exploring the Cotswolds, Wiltshire Downs, Mendips and Wales as well as delightful local villages and small towns. Woods and fields in the nearby idyllic Bybrook valley provide cool and gentle walks, whilst downland and Ridgeway walks are within half-hour drive.
'Barn End' has a large farmhouse style living/dining/kitchen with a gas Aga. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. There is an enclosed garden and private parking for 2-3 cars close to the cottage. WiFi installed
