Ivy cottage is approached over a gravelled driveway with stone steps up to the front door and the internal porch way. Once inside there is a spacious hallway with tiled floor and cloakroom. This Cotswold cottage is full of charm and has a wealth of period features including exposed beams and stonework.

A small step up from the hallway leads to a double aspect reception room with large inglenook fireplace and central wood burning stove, currently used as a dining room. No doubt the heart of the home is the beautiful kitchen breakfast room with Belfast sink overlooking the far reaching views. Recently fitted with a number of integrated appliances including a wine fridge, dishwasher, washing machine range cooker, this provides a wonderful entertaining space. To the other side of the dining hall is the cosy sitting room with central stone inglenook fireplace and log burning stove and window seats to enjoy the wonderful views.

Upstairs the property has a spacious landing which could double up as a reading area or work space, two double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes and a third bedroom. These are all serviced by a family bathroom.

Separate to the property, approached from the garden path, is an annexe room which would be ideal as a home office or additional accommodation. An additional shower room could be added to this accommodation to provide a guest suite.

The cottage benefits from a garage with automated rollover garage door and gravelled driveway for additional parking spaces. The terraced garden to the front has seating areas, with the upper area allowing you to enjoy the distant views across the valley and a lower patio area for privacy. The gradual stone steps compliment the stone herbaceous flower beds, all adding to the charm and character of the property surroundings.


Ivy Cottage is situated in the small rural village of Clapton-on-the-Hill and offers magnificent views over the Windrush Valley. The village does not have a through road and therefore has a lovely quiet and tranquil atmosphere.

Bourton-on-the-Water has comprehensive facilities and several pubs and restaurants. The nearby market towns of Stow-on-the-Wold, Cirencester and Cheltenham have more extensive facilities. The A429 (Fosse Way) provides excellent links to the A40 and M40 and towards the M5. Regular trains run to London Paddington from Kingham station.

The excellent range of schools in the area include the outstanding Cotswold Academy in Bourton-on-the-Water, Cheltenham colleges and grammar schools as well as popular schools in the Oxford area.

Local sporting options include golf at Burford, Lyneham and Naunton Downs, racing at Cheltenham and Stratford-upon-Avon and rugby at Gloucester and Worcester.

Bourton-on-the-Water 2 miles, Northleach 4 miles, Stow-on-the-Wold 6 miles, Burford 9 miles, Cirencester 17 miles, Cheltenham 16 miles, Kingham 8 miles (trains to London Paddington from 90 mins), (All distances and times approximate).

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
