Vendors' thoughts: "Gable Cottage has been a joy to design and renovate. I instantly fell in love with ‘The Holiday’ cottage feel. A beautiful Cotswold stone home in the heart of the village with an amazing Country Inn, extensive countryside and walks on our doorstep. It’s perfectly situated between Fairford, Bibury and Cirencester to enjoy the variety of shops, cafes, restaurants and markets. All of which have made it the perfect holiday home to relax and enjoy, especially getting to soak up the afternoon and evening sun with a G&T in the courtyard. I wanted to keep as many original features as possible, embracing the curves in the walls and wooden beams, but contour that with a modern twist that feels stylish but cosy."
Ina nutshell: An immaculate cottage with style and character in an unspoilt and very friendly village.
