House on the Green
Description
The House on the Green is a modern Cotswold stone home, built on a small development on the site of the former village hospital. Overlooking a large green and with an enclosed rear garden, the house offers peace and quiet, yet is moments away from the centre of Chipping Norton, one of the North Cotswolds' famous market towns, with its wide range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Chipping Norton is ideally placed for exploring the beautiful Cotswolds region, as well as other world famous attractions, such as Blenheim Palace, Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon.
Sitting at the end of a short row of houses and built to a high quality, the House on the Green has been beautifully furnished in a warm, contemporary style. The traditional character of the Cotswold stone exterior has been complemented by modern facilities, including wireless internet access, a Freesat TV with DVD player and home cinema system, and a well equipped kitchen/breakfast room.
The house sleeps a maximum of six people, in three bedrooms, with two bathrooms (one en-suite) and a downstairs cloakroom. Off street parking is available for up to five cars and the house has an enclosed garden. The property is the perfect place for a family or a group of friends seeking a peaceful retreat, yet still being close to shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as all the attractions of the Cotswolds region. The front door of the house faces the large private green, which all the local residents have the right to use. Entering the house, a hallway leads to the ground floor rooms:
Kitchen/breakfast room: The well equipped kitchen looks out over the garden and contains a four ring gas hob, fan assisted electric oven, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge freezer, dishwasher and a washing machine. There is also a breakfast table, with seating for four, next to French doors out to the garden;
Downstairs cloakroom: Contains a toilet and hand basin.
Stairs from the ground floor hallway lead up to the first floor landing, off which are the following rooms:
Living room/dining room: A beautifully presented room, containing two sofas, with comfy seating for 5/6, an oak dining table, with seating for six, and a Freesat flatscreen TV with home cinema system and DVD player;

A second flight of stairs leads from the first floor landing to the second floor landing, off which are the following rooms:
Bedroom 2: Contains two single beds;

What guests are saying
It would have been of great benefit to have had a pack, with a list of instructions for the use of the t.
v. and heating and local information such as doctor etc. The owner had to be telephoned several times on these matters. There was no central heating at the start of our stay, and finally we had to ask for the system to be looked at.This was done but left us with no way of adjustment. So we felt cold when we came back after a day out. We did assume [but wrongly] that there would be a lavatory in the en suite. This meant going up or down a flight of stairs to use this facility - not a good idea for old or very young children. There were beds enough for 6, but 6 in the house would have been a nightmare. The shower needs attention. It dripped constantly, and the tray was cracked and taped over. Not up to muster. We chose not to use it. With guests in the house it was difficult. The dishwasher had no salt and none was provided. The blinds at the windows need urgent attention. Now to outside. The bushes are very overgrown around the front door area thus making it gloomy and access to the key box a bit of a challenge, The side parking was inhibited by over grown greenery, and the back gate was not secure. The' home from home 'experience was NOT 'home from home' for us and we left 24 hours early.
Washing machine old and door catch broken (unusable).
No instructions on how to use bath with loose shower attachment/how to fill bath. 3 adults & 3 children had to use ensuite shower, also no blinds on window in ensuite shower area. Some utensils missing: bread knife; egg cups etc Some cups appeared old and well used. Would not use this holiday cottage again as these problems let the experience down.
Wonderful location with ample parking so close to town
