Singer House - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms
About
Renowned as one of the finest market towns in the Cotswolds, Chipping Campden is instantly recognisable by its beautiful limestone townhouses which frame the iconic High Street. No prettier an example is Singer House; an elegant, ivy-strewn two-story townhouse neatly nestled in the heart of the town, just a stone's throw from the famous ‘Wool Church.' A real home away from home, it's easy to see why Singer House sees the same guests returning year after year to soak in its surroundings. Sleeping up to six guests across three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each of which is charmingly decorated in its own individual style, Singer House is the perfect choice for families, couples, or small groups in search of a relaxing escape with everything you could need on the doorstep. Magazine-worthy interiors expertly blend the period with the contemporary for a distinctly boutique feel, with a wonderfully large sitting room, open-plan kitchen/diner, and separate dining room affording guests plenty of space within which to unwind. Best of all, the kitchen's stunning glass doorway hides one of the prettiest courtyard gardens that you're ever likely to see; a private little hideaway from the hubbub of the High Street, framed by Cotswold-stone walls and lush topiary at every corner. A real suntrap no matter what the season, it's the perfect spot to unwind with a sundowner or enjoy a feast courtesy of the firepit BBQ; if the many foodie haunts of Chipping Campden can't tempt you away, that is. Expertly blending the period with the contemporary, the real beauty of this townhouse lies behind its Cotswold stone exteriors. Stepping inside from the High Street directly into the soft lighting of the flagstone-floored hallway, you'll immediately get a sense of the townhouse's history; charming nods to years gone by evident in the ironwork lamps, period artwork, and decorative hunting paraphernalia adorning the walls. To the hallway's right-hand side sits a show-stopping sitting room. A real masterpiece of refinement, this elegant retreat overlooks Chipping Campden's High Street through shuttered bay windows, boasting sumptuous cream sofas, bookcase-lined walls, traditional period artwork, and tasteful antique furniture, plus a huge central open fire for cosy nights in. Following on at the end of the hallway, you'll find a spacious kitchen/diner, plus a compact but very well-equipped utility room complete with a hidden WC. Modern and traditional in equal measure, the attractive shaker-style kitchen is flooded with natural light thanks to a stunning glass extension, opening-up directly into its hidden courtyard garden. For relaxed dining, a rustic banquette dining table in the kitchen is the perfect spot, with a handsome formal dining room found to the rear of the house. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms offer an elegant space for up to six guests to rest their heads. The first, found just at the top of the staircase, is the embodiment of Cotswold-chic; country-grey hues adorning the walls, a dainty glass chandelier hanging between exposed beams over an antique French double bed. Next to the home's family bathroom sits bedroom two, completely different in style thanks to the framed artwork of musicians from years gone by covering the walls, plus a glass Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard garden. The large master of the house is a nod to turn-of-the-century luxury, boasting high ceilings, a separate seating area around a beautiful marble fireplace, huge picture windows overlooking the High Street below, and its own in-room roll-top bath. A sleek en-suite affords the space with even more privacy, making it the perfect room for romantics in search of R&R. Ground Floor Entrance: Beautiful flagstone flooring and a pretty, boxed bench seat lining the hall, perfect for easing off your shoes after a long day exploring the Cotswolds' many towns and villages. Living Room: Singer House's living room is an elegant space made for relaxing. Sumptuous sofas gathered around the statement marble fireplace offer plenty of space for guests to relax in, with a flat-screen TV, DVD, and full-subscription Sky Sports plus Movies package ensuring you have plenty to keep you entertained. Check out the bookcase lining the living room's rear wall for plenty of interesting books to tickle your fancy, or enjoy some tunes of your choice courtesy of the iPod docking station. Kitchen: A beautiful space to enjoy at all times of the day, Singer House's large kitchen space includes a separate relaxed dining area with rustic banquette seating for six. Stepping through the traditional stone archway sits the kitchen itself, boasting attractive Shaker-style cream cupboards and dark marble worktops. Well-equipped with everything you should need during your stay, in here you'll find a range cooker, additional integrated fridge, dishwasher, microwave, food processor, and blender
