Church Cottage lies in the heart of the beautiful historic market town of Burford, just moments from its iconic high street. This charmingly traditional cottage sleeps up to six and is jam-packed with original features. Hidden behind the cottage is a lovely private walled garden and rose terrace perfect for relaxing or eating outdoors. With the myriad attractions of Burford just a short stroll away, Church Cottage is the perfect base for your Cotswold escape with the benefit of its own off-road parking space.
Full Description

Bursting with charm and character, Church Cottage is nestled down a peaceful lane alongside the historic church. Built of Cotswold stone and dating back to the 1930s this cottage is beautifully historic with many interesting architectural features.

This is a welcoming home full of vintage finds and carefully curated artwork. The traditional kitchen has a Belfast sink and Everhot range cooker sitting alongside the owner’s collection of remarkable, colourful vintage tins. This really adds to the special look and feel of this 1930s cottage. In the sitting room a woodburning stove sits in the original brick fireplace so you can pull up a seat and enjoy its relaxing ambience. There are French doors opening to the garden to let the outdoors in on summer days. If you’re staying in, you can take meals through to the dining room which looks out over the charming walled garden and open the doors to let in the gorgeous floral scent from the rose terrace. Three cheerful bedrooms with patchwork quilts and vintage furniture add to the personality of this lovely cottage.

The charming, secluded garden is an English garden idyll with blooming roses and carefully curated flowering borders. Enjoy the views of the 14th century church as you sit on the bench beneath the clematis arch. It’s a real sun trap where you will spend as much time as you can, feasting together or just catching a moment of calm listening to the church bells ring.

Ground Floor

Entrance hall and cloakroom
Step through the red front door into the entrance hall where you can hang up coats and put away walking boots. There is a cloakroom to one side in what was once the old privy with a basin and WC.

Kitchen
You will love cooking in this well-equipped kitchen with its Everhot range. The Belfast sink and oak wood worktops give the feel of a traditional cottage kitchen, but with everything you need hidden in cupboards below. There is a full range of plates, glasses, crockery and cooking utensils, with a Nespresso coffee machine, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine and a dishwasher.

Sitting Room
This cosy room is the heart of the cottage, with painted original wooden floorboards and beams, cheerful floral curtains and comfortable seating including two armchairs and a three-seater sofa. An inviting wood-burning stove sits within the original brick fireplace, framed by handmade oak bookcases. This is the perfect place to curl up next to the fire with a book in hand or settle down to watch the smart television, which can be found in the antique pine corner cupboard, along with a DVD player, Bluetooth speaker and a selection of games and puzzles. On warmer evenings, open the French doors to step out into the garden after an evening cup of tea to take in the wonderful views.

Dining Room
The six-seater antique dining table ensures plenty of space, and double doors lead from here out to the secluded rose terrace, where alfresco meals can also be enjoyed. Set the table with the pretty early 20th century tableware for meals together and enjoy the stunning views over the church and rose terrace. This is a delightful room where you can linger over long and leisurely meals.

First Floor

Bedroom One
The master bedroom has the best view, looking across the rose terrace to the church beyond. Open your windows on a summer evening to let in the floral breeze before snuggling into the king-size bed. Unpack into the two chests of drawers and spend a lazy morning reading a good book, perhaps one you brought with you or one from the selection in the sitting room.

En-suite
The en-suite shower room has a walk-in shower, WC, wash basin and handy cubby holes for storage.

Bedroom Two
Set up as a children’s bedroom, this room is sure to enchant all ages. There is a pair of comfortable full-size single beds with a large vintage pine chest of drawers between them. A captivating illustration of a rabbit family hangs above, guaranteed to delight young guests, while the original 1930s decorative fireplace and patchwork curtains all add to the appeal of this cheerful twin room.

Bedroom Three
With its soft, pastel-coloured decor and comfortable double bed, it’s hard not to feel cosy in this charming bedroom beneath the sloping ceiling. There’s plenty of space and storage, with two bedside tables with drawers, a lovely vintage pine chest of drawers, and a small hanging cupboard. This bedroom offers good views over the gardens and rooftops of old Burford.

Bathroom
The vintage aesthetic continues in the bathroom with an original 1930’s bathtub, hand-held shower, WC and basin.

Outside

Hidden behind Church Cottage is the most wonderful garden offering privacy and seclusion, a rarity for Burford cottages. The garden is in two parts, the walled garden with a lawn for children to play on, shrubs and flowering borders and the rose terrace, with gorgeous roses climbing up the sheltering walls and an apple tree as old as the house, covered with a climbing clematis. This is an idyllic place to relax, read, or listen to the church bells striking the hours. On the rose terrace outside the dining room there is a wooden dining table and six chairs. Take meals here or bring a BBQ to make the most of your time outside.

We stayed for just over 3 weeks and fell in love with the cottage which was ideal for our needs. It's three bedrooms were very comfortable. The downstairs rooms worked well for us - especially the sitting room which, due to the double aspect, was as flooded with natural light all day. The French windows in both reception rooms allow a seamless link to the rear garden and side terrace. Having an on-site private parking space is a real boon in Burford. The owners were kind and helpful once our booking was confirmed, and the housekeeper was brilliant during our stay. All-in-all, Church Cottage is the perfect bolthole for anyone wanting an independent stay in what we think is the best town in The Cotswolds.

We spent two wonderful weeks at Church Cottage! It was our fourth visit to Burford and so far the best accommodation. Communication with the owner as well as the cleaner was always easy and very helpful. We will definitely be back!

This is a lovely cottage in the heart of the Cotswolds with 1930s evocative styling and sheltered garden to enjoy the summer sun. Good provision of equipment and everything we needed to help celebrate our son's wedding.

Church Cottage has a lovely secluded garden but really close to amenities makes it a great place for a stress free break.

Church Cottage proved to be ideal for a comfortable and relaxing break in Burford. The cottage is perfectly located very close to the centre of Burford, but in a peaceful position away from the busy main high street and next to the impressive St John the Baptist Church. We would certainly look to return in the future.

Location

Church Cottage is just a few paces away from the historic High Street selling artisan foodstuffs, drinks and other products, as well as antiques and bric-a-brac. You will find galleries, cafés, restaurants and interesting pubs. Walk to the top of the High Street and look back down the hill to enjoy one of the most exquisite views in the Cotswolds – and perhaps the finest ‘streetscape’ in England. Burford is perfectly located for exploring the rest of the Cotswolds with highlights such as Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, Chipping Norton, Cirencester and Woodstock all within easy reach.
