East Leaze

Holiday Rental Description

Holiday home
East Leaze is a beautifully presented 17th century Cotswold stone property in the picturesque market town of Chipping Campden. The cottage has been lovingly refurbished in a stunning contemporary style and offers a truly unique stay for a gathering of friends or family seeking a relaxing break in the Cotswolds. Two well-behaved dogs welcome. On arrival at East Leaze, enter through the side door which opens up into a well-designed entrance hall, handy for storing your coats and muddy boots, and walk straight into the garden room which is an impressive open-plan living space, flooded with natural light from the glass conservatory and perfect for you and your guests to kick back on the welcoming seating and pop on a DVD on the Smart TV to chill out for the evening. Move down the steps into the tastefully decorated kitchen and take advantage of the contemporary appliances to cook up a heart-warming home-cooked meal before retreating down further steps from the living area into the stunning dining room which has beautiful character features such as exposed wooden beams, limestone flooring, Cotswold stone walls and an ornamental inglenook fireplace, so uncork a bottle of wine at the wooden dining table and toast to a wonderful holiday that lies ahead. Completing the ground-floor is a handy utility cupboard containing a small chest freezer and a cloakroom with a basin and WC. Make your way up the staircase which has a mid-level landing and divides two ways, with the master bedroom located one way which is a beautiful dual aspect room boasting fabulous views across the back garden from its Juliet balcony, where you can watch the television from the comfort of your super-king-size bed, the other way you will find two further bedrooms, one has lovely exposed wooden beams and high ceilings, with a Freeview TV and super-king-size bed (zip/link, can be twin on request), and the other overlooks Sheep Street below, has a wonderful Cotswold stone feature wall, with a double bed and benefits from a bright and airy en-suite bathroom boasting warming underfloor heating. Once you’ve rested your eyes for the night, hang your towel on the heated towel rail before indulging in a soak amongst the bubbles in the roll-top bath and have the warmth of the underfloor heating warm your toes from beneath, before heading to the kitchen for a steaming cup of coffee with help from the Nespresso coffee machine. On sunnier days, gather with your loved ones in the large, south-west facing patio garden to plan your itinerary for the day, surrounded by high honey-coloured stone walls, potted flowers and shrubs, with nine steps leading you up to the fantastic lawn garden which gently ascends to another patio area with a gas barbecue (available in the summer months) and has a garden bench, attractive flower beds and even a mini fruit patch which guests are welcome to enjoy if the timing’s right with a shed at the far end which can be used for bicycle storage.
