The cottage also provides super entertainment spaces both indoor and outdoor. The wildlife that surrounds the cottage has been brilliant. The calling of the deer, the songbirds and the frequent sightings of red kite and buzzards add a feeling of being very close to nature."

Property Description
Coachman’s Cottage is an enchanting Cotswold stone cottage, nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Chedworth. Approached via a charming village lane, the cottage offers both privacy and convenience, lying just moments from the village centre, with sensational views over the valley. Unlisted and full of character, it combines traditional appeal with thoughtful modern comforts.
At the heart of the home lies the spacious, sun- filled kitchen and breakfast room — an inviting space designed for gathering, entertaining and everyday dining. The kitchen’s striking racing- green Aga adds a touch of country elegance while ensuring a cosy warmth throughout the cooler months. French doors open onto a delightful terrace dining area, perfect for lazy summer lunches and evening drinks. This is a wonderful space to unwind and a lovely suntrap in the summer. A few steps lead up to the atmospheric drawing room, brimming with charm. Here, an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood- burner forms the focal point, complemented by recessed book shelving and an overall sense of calm. Across the hallway, the bright sitting room offers versatility — equally suited as a snug, study, or children’s playroom.
Upstairs, a generous, light-filled landing provides excellent storage and leads to two well-proportioned bedrooms, both with built-in cupboards, alongside a stylish family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys its own en suite shower room, creating a serene retreat. Carefully designed living spaces, combined with both traditional and Velux windows, ensure soft natural light washes through the house throughout the day.
Outside, stone steps descend to a discreet gate offering pedestrian access to the village road — the perfect starting point for scenic walks through the village and surrounding countryside. The mature garden is a true sanctuary, with beautiful herbaceous borders, established specimen trees and tranquil, shaded seating areas. A useful garden shed provides storage for tools and equipment.
Private parking is excellent, with a driveway accommodating two cars, complemented by an additional dedicated parking space on the lane for a further two cars.
Coachman’s Cottage blends Cotswold character, refined comfort, and idyllic village living — a rare and wonderfully inviting home.
