Tew Cottage is probably what we all imagine when thinking of a classic Cotswold cottage - a gorgeous building under a thatched roof with period features everywhere: large open fire, beams, flagstone floor & a magnificent 2 acre garden all within a short stroll of a (world renowned) village & pub. It doesn't get much better than this. The cottage, which dates back over 250 years, & is owned by one of the world's leading photographers is presented in a traditional & period style that sits perfectly in this location. There is an open plan living space, very much the heart of the home, with accommodation split across three floors. It is, in our opinion, just as suitable for families as it is for a groups of friends who want to sample one of England's finest locations. Outside there is a large rolling garden with swings & two lakes (which the owners regularly swim in!!) plus a separate thatched building used as playroom. Direct from the cottage there is also a private seating area which is a perfect sun trap. There are few cottages to compare with this cottage, it is unique and special but above all it is something you are sure you will enjoy.ACCOMMODATIONEntrance through to small lobby with hooks for hanging & ample space for boots etc Kitchen, a modern, well equipped space with large worksurfaces, including a 5 ring gas hob, double electric oven & grill, microwave, washing machine, tumble drier, dishwasher, large fridge freezer.
