Charming Cotswold Stone Cottage with 3 Large En-Suite Bedrooms and Pretty Garden
About
Little Maunditts Cottage is situated in a quiet lane in the heart of the charming village of Sherston and is within easy walking distance of all the village facilities including the two pubs, The Rattlebone Inn and Carpenters Arms, the The Angel Bistro & Coffee Shop, the church, the wonderfully well-stocked village store and two wine shops. The cottage was originally the barns and stabling for a long-gone pub and was lovingly brought to life in 2014 and is only now available as a much admired holiday destination. As the cottage is in a conservation area it was designed to blend with neighbouring properties and retain the lovely character of Gaston Lane. Little Maunditts has the appearance and character of an old cottage but has all the modern components and facilities to make it lovely and warm and comfortable. The interior of Little Maunditts Cottage is modern, bright and airy but still has a wealth of characterful features including handsome oak doors reclaimed from a Cotswold Manor House and unusual marble radiators in the bedrooms. Little Maunditts Cottage is ideal for families or if you are several couples holidaying together as all three bedrooms are roughly equal in size with comparable facilities and all have en-suite bathrooms. Nobody in your group will have to settle for a less comfortable room! The large kitchen/dining/living room is a sociable venue in which to prepare supper and enjoy each others' company rather than someone being stuck in the kitchen whilst others relax elsewhere. There is also an additional cosy sitting room with another tv, dvd player and a wide selection of films and boardgames. There is also a comprehensive library of local guidebooks and maps to assist you in planning your days out exploring the local towns and countryside. The cottage has a useful utility room for coats and boots and also an additional freezer, washing machine and downstairs loo. The historic village of Sherston was voted by The Times newspaper as being the 5th most desirable place to live in the UK. With it's elegant wide main street, excellent pub, wine shop, farm shop with butchery & florist and community run village shop with post office, it is easy to see why! In July Sherston hosts a very popular Boules Tournament and Carnival and the wide high street is converted into a series of boules courts. The National Arboretum at Westonbirt is very close by. In addition to the magnificent parkland and impressive and varied tree specimens, Westonbirt hosts a series of special events and open air concerts in addition to Westonbirts own guided walks and specialist talks. The Sherston area is perfect for exploring the South Cotswolds on foot or by car. It is 5 miles from the historic town of Malmesbury, the oldest borough in England, with it's magnificent part-ruined Abbey, winding lanes and riverside walks. Also 5 miles away is Tetbury, renowned for its 17th century market hall and varied selection of antique shops. Prince Charles resides at nearby Highgrove and in summer it is possible to visit his magnificent gardens. (by advance booking only) The Stroud Valleys, Bath, Cirencester, the Marlborough Downs, Castle Combe and Lacock are all easily accessible and it is a scenic drive to the charming (but much busier) popular Cotswold tourist destinations of Stow-In-The-Wold, Bourton-On-The-Water and Moreton-In-Marsh. Castle Combe has been voted the prettiest village in England and Lacock, almost entirely owned by the National Trust, is regularly used as a film location - amongst it's credits are Harry Potter, War Horse, Doctor Dolittle and the drama series Pride & Prejudice and Cranford. There are fabulous walks, both leaving directly from the cottage or a short drive away and there are plenty of guide books and maps on hand to help you choose a route. The pretty cottage courtyard garden is a lovely sun-trap and a perfect place to enjoy outdoor dining in the summer. ACCOMMODATION & FACILITIES AT A GLANCE *Bedroom 1- King-size bed.
