Michaelmas Cottage was formerly two estate workers' cottages on the Batsford Estate in the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Hill a couple of miles from the market town of Moreton-in-Marsh.
It is our second home and has been furnished and fitted for ourselves rather than as a holiday let. Built about 300 years ago it has been renovated to a high standard whilst retaining the original beams, two large inglenook fireplaces, exposed brickwork, window seats and many floorboards. A new woodburning stove has been fitted in addition to gas central heating.
The accommodation is on three floors reached by winding staircases. The main bedroom on the top floor has a luxurious 6 foot wide Adjustamatic bed with massage facility with a bright new adjacent shower room with wash basin and WC. A cosy single bedroom beyond has a built-in bed with the option of a portable cot.
The twin bedroom is on the first floor with the addition of a desk, Broadband, fax/copier and Skype phone (account required). The bathroom has an original claw foot bath, separate shower cubicle, wash basin and WC. Downstairs is a good sized sitting room with inglenook fireplace, woodburning stove, the latest widescreen TV with satellite channels, DVD, radio and CD player plus an excellent supply of books, DVDs, CDs, magazines, board games and jigsaws.
The dining room also has a large inglenook fireplace and the table seats 6 plus a chair for little ones. The compact well equipped kitchen has an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing and drying machines.
Outside a smart wooden table and 4 chairs can be found under the shady boughs of the apple tree in the idyllic south facing cottage garden and there is parking for two cars. There are stunning views of the garden to one side with far reaching views of the Batsford Estate to the other.
On-site parking for one car.
