Hundley Cottage lies at the end of a small no through lane, with wonderful views over the surrounding Cotswold countryside. Whilst in a private and rural position, the house is within walking distance of the town and railway station. The house has generous reception rooms and flexible bedroom accommodation, enjoying views over either the Evenlode Valley or the private gardens of Hundley Cottage.

There is a large gravelled parking area for a number of cars to the front. A path leads from the driveway to the rear terrace, from which there are steps up to the formal lawns, with a magnificent ash tree at the centre. The lawns slope gently upwards to an elevated area, perfectly situated to enjoy the spectacular views over the Cotswold landscape.
