Colebrook Cottage

Colebrook Cottage sits on a lane of traditional Cotswold stone-built houses, with the Church of St Peter & St Paul just across the road.

This picture-perfect cottage is set across three floors. The ground floor is a flowing, open-plan design leading to three distinct rooms. There is a spacious and well-equipped kitchen with a ceiling lantern and stone flooring and the former police cells complete with the high barred windows now house the utility and wet room. The other end of the kitchen opens onto the rear hallway which leads to the dining room, feature staircase and living room. The stylish and elegant dining room has polished wooden floors with a wooden dining table and chairs to seat 8 comfortably, where memorable meals with loved ones can be enjoyed. This in turn leads through to a charming living room, both rooms benefit from the magnificent stone fireplace with a double-sided log burner. From the rear hall double doors lead out to the garden.

On the first floor, there are three lovely bedrooms beautifully decorated in calming shades of the palest pinks and blues, these are blissful places to retire to for a restful nights sleep after your adventures in the countryside. Stairs lead to the second floor and the glorious master suite complete with a vast emperor bed, beautiful linens and a statement chandelier. This fabulous suite also boasts a dressing room and ensuite bathroom complete with a free-standing bathtub under the window where you can soak the cares of the day away.

To the rear and side of the cottage, there is a pretty, enclosed garden with planted borders and mature trees, a large dining table and a table tennis room for fun-filled games.

To the left of the kitchen is a step up to a rear hallway, which runs along the length of the centre of the house. The open-plan design flows through to the beautiful dining room. Underfoot there are polished wood floors, and the room is lit by two large windows, beautifully framed by elegant drapes. The large wooden rectangular dining table is in front of the wood burning stove and seats eight comfortably, it’s the perfect place for relaxed, convivial meals by candlelight. Tucked into the corner is a soft leather armchair and under the stairs, a basket packed with board games for rainy days or lazy afternoons.

Living Room:
The entrance between the dining room and charming living room is defined by an original wooden beam running overhead. This elegant yet cosy room has two plump, cushion-filled sofas that will seat three and four comfortably. In front of the stone fireplace, there’s a large button-cushion footstool, there are occasional tables to rest a drink on and a 52” smart TV sits to one side atop a wooden chest.
