Description - Box Inn Cottage offers quintessential Cotswold charm. This gem of a home has clearly been renovated with love, attention to detail and exceptional creative flair. A quaint facade of honey-coloured stone creates an instantly welcoming vibe and arched mullion windows frame the cozy interior within. A cobbled path leads to the pretty front door with stained glass hare inset, setting the tone for the abundance of character that runs throughout the home.

Opening to an open-plan kitchen and living space, this room is clearly the heart of the home. Limestone flooring with underfloor heating, fitted shaker-style kitchen units, a gas fired Aga and wood burning stove, create a wonderfully welcoming living space. Three mullion windows allow ample natural light to fill the room and neatly frame the pretty view of the garden. A cloakroom with shower/wet room, plus a laundry area, are also located at this level.

Aged oak stairs lead to the first floor with useful coat hanging space along the stairwell. A delightful double bedroom with oak boarded floor, ample built-in storage, aged beams and latch doors, create a calming retreat from the bustle of modern day living. A deep window seat offers the perfect spot to relax with a book or simply soak up the panorama beyond and a statement copper roll top bath offers a splash of glamour. A separate WC leads off the bedroom.

The south facing garden is located to the front of the cottage and offers a magical space for alfresco dining and summer entertaining. The garden comprises a patio area, lawn, kitchen garden, well-stocked borders and topiary hedging, enveloped by handsome dry stone walls. A greenhouse, log store and shed, provide useful storage.
