Property code: CC005

Located on a farm in the grounds of the 12th century Clattercote Priory and surrounded by horse paddocks, it’s the very definition of a Cotswold hideaway. Close to the village of Clattercote, the property is at the centre of the historic-cultural axis of Oxford, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon. Banbury is about six miles away, and is a good place for shopping thanks to the Castle Quay Shopping Centre and night entertainment. Other top visitor attractions in the area include Warwick Castle, Sulgrave Manor, Heritage Motor Museum, the Malvern Hills and Blenheim Palace. There are plenty of footpaths in the vicinity, so it’s a great place for walkers to stay for a short break too.

On arrival at the cottage you will notice that it embraces an open-plan layout. The lounge area has ample comfortable seating, with a TV. You may be impressed to see that the original fireplace and huge chimney breast has been retained as well as the old bread oven. The kitchen area is well-equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge with ice box, a dishwasher, a washer/ dryer, and a microwave. Also on the ground floor there is a comfortable double bedroom. Close by, there is a bathroom that contains a shower over bath and WC. Upstairs there is a double bed on the mezzanine floor overlooking the living area below, please note that the stairs are steep. There is also a fold up bed available for an extra visitor (please book ahead). There is no internal connection between the cottages.

Outside, there is a terrace and the pleasant garden space accessed from the house via French doors. The garden and farm is great place for outgoing children, as they can explore the grounds and play with the farmer’s friendly dogs. The shared garden area is enclosed from the farm and contains outdoor furniture, and BBQs are provided too for evening cookouts. Guests are welcome to wander throughout the grounds – the owners ask that you take note that there is a pond near to the main house.

This property is in a picturesque area adjacent to a working farm. It was ideal to my wife & I plus our 2 dogs.
