DescriptionRiver Cottage is located within the heart of Lower Slaughter, which is
in a Conservation Area and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The cottage is situated in the heart of this picturesque village in a
romantic setting overlooking the river Eye.
This delightful Grade II listed detached property offers a unique and
stylish combination of contemporary design set against a backdrop of
traditional period features. River Cottage was originally fully renovated
in 2003 and has since been improved and beautifully maintained by
the current owner. The property is extremely well presented with high
quality finishes throughout while preserving the original charm and
period character of the property including flagstone flooring, exposed
beams, stone fireplaces and stone mullion windows. Constructed of
Cotswold stone under a stone tiled roof, the accommodation which
is arranged over two floors, offers well appointed and flexible living
space.
River Cottage is complimented by a private landscaped garden to
the rear. Mainly laid to lawn with mature planting set in herbaceous
borders complimented by well-established shrubs and trees. A stone
terrace provides an extension to the reception rooms of the house for
idyllic summer entertaining.
To the side of the property and set behind a high Cotswold stone wall
and electronically operated solid wooden gates is a gravelled parking
area and a detached stone garage with integrated utility room and
gravelled forecourt providing parking for several cars.
Situation & AmenitiesLower Slaughter is widely regarded as one of the premier villages
in the Cotswolds. Arranged around the River Eye, which meanders
through the centre of the village, are traditional Cotswold stone
cottages and houses. There are two highly regarded hotels, the
luxurious Lower Slaughter Manor and Washbourne Court, with St
Mary’s parish church and a historic water mill.
Local shopping and business amenities can be found in Bourton-
on-the-Water (2 miles) and Stow-on-the-Wold (3 miles) with further
