April Cottage is a charming period property nestled in the serene village of Mickleton, Gloucestershire, offering a perfect retreat for families or friends seeking a peaceful countryside getaway. This stunning residence, believed to be around three hundred years old, beautifully blends traditional timber framing with Cotswold stone architecture. Upon arrival, guests can take advantage of the off-road parking before stepping into a character-filled sitting room adorned with oak beams and exposed stone walls, where they can relax by the woodburning stove while enjoying entertainment on the Smart TV.
The interior of April Cottage features beautiful flagstone flooring that leads to a well-appointed kitchen and dining area. Here, guests can prepare delicious meals using modern appliances and enjoy dining together at a lovely table. A convenient utility room, complete with a washing machine and tumble dryer, along with a cloakroom, adds to the functionality of the space. The first floor is accessible via relatively steep stairs and hosts three inviting bedrooms, including a king-size room with an en-suite walk-in shower, a double bedroom, and a twin bedroom, all thoughtfully designed with ample storage.
Guests can start their day with a luxurious soak in the bath or a refreshing power shower, followed by a steaming cup of coffee from the Nespresso machine, ideally enjoyed in the enclosed front garden. This outdoor space offers peaceful views down the lane towards the picturesque Church of St Lawrence, and features a charcoal barbecue for delightful summer meals. The cottage's quiet lane location makes it an ideal base for exploring the breathtaking Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and its surrounding attractions.
Nearby, the charming town of Chipping Campden invites visitors to enjoy breakfast at Campden Coffee Co before embarking on a scenic hike along Dover’s Hill, which provides stunning vistas over the Vale of Evesham and connects to the renowned Cotswold Way walking trail. Additionally, the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon, known for its rich Shakespearean heritage, is just a short drive away, offering various attractions and dining options.
