Cotswolds cottage for sale
A cottage which has been extended into a four-bedroom family house near the popular town of Bourton-on-the-Water has been launched on the market


This cottage was extended by 100% when owners Ross and Zoe Howell bought it 5 years ago. Today it works as a good sized family home with lovely rural views over fields and yet it's within striking distance of the popular town of Bourton on the Water
'It only takes five minutes to walk into Bourton from the house,' says Mr Howell. 'So whenever we want to get an ice cream for the children or go to the pub you don't have to get in the car. And yet the location feels entirely rural.'
£630,000 through Chesterton Humberts (01451 830383)
The house has four-bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen and breakfast room and two small gardens with patios and is on the market for £630,000 through Chesterton Humberts (01451 830383)
