General Description of Property
At the edge of Wellow, an unspoilt conservation village off main roads, in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The two properties are on a side road with panoramic views to the south, over woodland and rolling hills. In a setting of perfect tranquillity, they are on opposite sides of a 3/4 acre garden, full of flowers, fruit trees and organic veggies, facing a burbling stream and mediaeval packhorse bridge. Each has its own independent garden space.
Holly Cottage is ideal for four, or a family of up to six (with the sofabed), or extreme comfort for two. It has been tastefully renovated to retain its original features - fireplaces and natural wood doors. It is comfortably furnished as a home, yet has a modern, well equipped kitchen. Everybody loves the sunny conservatory and the secluded garden patio.
