Clumber Cottage is an impressive detached Cotswold stone built cottage occupying a privileged setting in Eastleach near Cirencester which is on the market for £1,300,000.

Set in mature landscaped gardens totalling just over half an acre and enjoying open views across the neighbouring countryside.

The beautifully presented accommodation is both spacious and flexible providing a wealth of character features throughout, blending with modern fittings creating a very comfortable living environment.

The property is currently designed to provide an annexe, and two cottages (one a successful holiday let), yet could easily revert to a single residence.

To the far end the annexe provides an entrance lobby, wet room with basin and w/c. A step leads into the main dual aspect room, combining space for a double bed, soft seating and a desk.

The middle section of the property creates a very appealing three bedroom cottage, adjoined by a single door from the dining room.

Full of character and light this charming cottage offers two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room extending along the rear with soft white shaker style wall and base units complemented by solid wooden worktops.

Integrated double oven, LPG gas hob, extractor, fridge freezer and dishwasher, patio doors open to the rear garden.

Completing the ground floor, a rear hallway with cloakroom and staircase to the first floor.

To the first floor, a galleried landing, three double bedrooms and large family bathroom with dressed stone feature wall, wood effect flooring, a large double ended bath, separate shower, w/c and wall mounted basin.

Beneath a canopied entrance a further door accesses a charming self-contained living environment with a large open plan space to the first floor combining a dining area, handmade fitted kitchen and sitting room sectioned off by a Cotswold stone chimney housing a

double sided wood burning stove.

The feeling of space is enhanced in the sitting room by the vaulted ceiling and banks of glazing that afford the open views.

French doors open out onto a paved patio, the extended roofline creates a covered area, perfect for outside dining.

There is also a large walk-in larder and utility/laundry room.

To the first floor, landing with storage area, double bedroom with dual aspect and a feature dressed stone wall, also an adjoining dressing room (that could easily revert back to a single bedroom).

Contemporary designed bathroom of three piece white with shower over bath, built-in

w/c and wall mounted basin complemented by chrome fittings and wood effect flooring.

A fine feature of this beautiful home are the private and peaceful surrounding gardens that total 0.567 acres.

Combining areas of lawn, mature planted borders, established shrubs and trees, wild life pond,

water feature, vegetable garden and paved patios.

Additionally there are timber sheds/stores and a gravelled driveway with an attractive timber

garage with open bay and workshop.

Eastleach is one of the wonders of the Cotswold.

Probably appearing on most Cotswold calendars for its blanket display of seasonal spring

flowers that lie on the banks, woodlands and greens throughout the village.

Set away from all main roads, Eastleach is very special, the two parish churches of Eastleach Martin and Eastleach Turville are nestled to either side of the meandering River Leach.

Set within an area of outstanding natural beauty, the majority of the village lies within a

conservation area, there is plethora of delightful stone cottages.

The village boasts a fabulous public house, The Queen Victoria which is the centre of the community. There are some incredible walks that spread out across the countryside.

Nearby Fairford and Lechlade are attractive small market towns which boast enviable and picturesque positions, with easy access to a river.

Situated at the foot of the Cotswolds, on the eastside of The Cotswold Water Park, both towns are renowned for their riverside walking routes, along the Coln in Fairford and Thames in Lechlade.

In recent years, the towns have also received much acclaim for their popular summer festivals, including the Royal International Air Tattoo and Lechlade Music Festival.

In stark contrast to the quiet serenity of the churchyards or the Old Mill and pond, every July RAF Fairford hosts the biggest military air show in the world.

The Royal International Air Tattoo sees the most skilled display pilots on the planet, including the Red Arrows, soaring over the quiet little town and attracting plane enthusiasts from far and wide.

Meanwhile, the Lechlade Music Festival boasts an amazing line-up and promotes a mixture of upcoming musical talent, alongside bigger names and tribute acts during the May Bank Holiday weekend.

River Thames trips are available aboard the Inglesham during summer months, while the man-made Riverside Marina is also a central feature of the town.

Staying on the nautical theme, The Cotswold Water Park – the UK’s largest lake system – partly sits within the boundaries of both Fairford and Lechlade.

The park is a significant area for wildlife, in particular for wintering and breeding birds – but also a visitor hub for water sports, walks and eating out.

Both towns have a tight knit community spirit, promoting local traders to the rest of the Cotswolds and the world through the joint Fairford and Lechlade Business Club.

From The Bull Hotel in Fairford to The Trout Inn at Lechlade, both have an ample range of accommodation, pubs and eateries.

And for shopping, both towns offer an array of independent options, including craft and antique shops, wine merchants, delicatessen's, a Christmas shop and thriving markets.

Other annual events to watch out for in Fairford and Lechlade include Fairford Festival and the Lechlade Rally and Country Show.
