The Cider House, located in Bidford-on-Avon, Worcestershire, is a charming holiday home that has been expertly converted from a former grain store into a cozy retreat for up to four guests. Nestled in the picturesque Heart of England, this red brick barn is set within a gravel courtyard on a working arable farm, just half a mile from the scenic River Avon and the quaint village of Bidford-upon-Avon. The property is part of Oosland Barns, which underwent significant renovations starting in 2012, culminating in a full conversion completed in 2015, transforming the site into inviting holiday lets that retain their rustic charm.
Inside, the Cider House features a welcoming open-plan layout that combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas under a spacious double-height ceiling adorned with original A-frame timbers. This bright and airy space is equipped with modern conveniences, including a fully fitted kitchen with essential appliances, a dining table for four, and a cozy living area complete with leather-effect sofas, a smart TV, and a woodburning stove. The cottage's design prioritizes comfort and accessibility, with all essential amenities located on one floor, ideal for guests with limited mobility, although there are a couple of steps leading to the front door.
The accommodation includes two beautifully decorated bedrooms, each offering serene views of the rear garden. The main bedroom features a double bed with charming pink accents, while the second bedroom is furnished with two single beds and calming blue decor. Both rooms are equipped with ample storage options, including wardrobes and chests of drawers. Additionally, the family bathroom is well-appointed with modern fixtures, including a full-size bath with a shower, ensuring a comfortable stay for all guests.
Outside, visitors can enjoy a spacious, fenced garden that boasts a lawn, a hot tub, and a patio area with a picnic table, all of which overlook the surrounding farmland. The garden is pet-friendly, allowing guests to bring their dogs along for the stay, with ample walking opportunities in the nearby fields. The Cider House also provides parking for two cars and includes a charcoal BBQ for outdoor cooking. Situated near cultural attractions like Mary Arden's House and Evesham Arts Centre, as well as recreational activities at Bidford Grange Golf Club, this delightful cottage offers a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration in the heart of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
