Gables Cottage is a beautiful, grade II listed Cotswold stone property, located in the heart of the pretty, peaceful village of Churchill and surrounded by the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Churchill is fortunate to have a lovely church and village green, as well as a well-regarded pub, and is only three miles away from Chipping Norton and seven miles away from Stow-on-the-Wold, which are two of the well known Cotswold market towns.
Gables Cottage is well placed for exploring the surrounding countryside or visiting the many beautiful towns and villages of the Cotswolds, as well as other tourist destinations, such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and Blenheim Palace.
The cottage has been beautifully preserved and retains many of its original character features, such as exposed oak beams and Cotswold stone walls, elm floorboards, spiral staircases and a large inglenook fireplace, with a wood burning stove.
The character of the cottage is complemented by its modern facilities, including wireless internet access, a flatscreen TV with BT TV, and a well presented kitchen.
The cottage sleeps a maximum of six people, in three bedrooms, with two bathrooms.
There is an enclosed garden and off-street parking for two cars, with free on street parking also readily available.
Gables Cottage is an ideal location for families or groups of friends seeking a character filled property in a beautiful location.
Gables Cottage is accessed via its back door, which opens into a small porch and then a larger hallway.
Two ground floor rooms lead off the hallway:
Living room: A beautiful dual-aspect room, with flagstone flooring in half the room, exposed Cotswold stone, oak beams and a large inglenook fireplace, containing a wood burning stove.
There is comfy seating for six and a flatscreen TV, with BT TV;

A beautiful wooden spiral staircase goes up from the hallway to the first floor landing.
Please note that the staircase is steep and narrow, however, it does have a hand rail in the centre and fixed stair gates at the top and bottom.
