Sweet Pear Blossom Gloucester, Gloucestershire

Property Description

From the English country garden to the homespun interiors, this honey-hued abode ticks every box on our Cotswold cottage checklist. With two wood-burning stoves, you can guarantee toasty toes at the end of long walks through the countryside. Throw another log on the fire as you cosy up in the living space with a paperback and mug of tea, then set the table ready for a roast dinner cooked in the well-equipped kitchen. On sunny days, grill locally sourced produce on the barbecue and listen to the birds chirruping in the fruit trees. If you’re keen to stretch your legs, stroll through your idyllic locale or nip over to neighbouring Avening for two excellent pubs – it’ll take you around thirty-six minutes by foot. Or why not take the twenty-minute drive to the market town of Stroud – the farmer’s market is one of the best in the country.
