Description
Summary
East Leaze is a Grade II listed Cotswold stone cottage which sleeps six guests, in three bedrooms, with two stylish bathrooms. Dating back to the 17th century, the cottage has a wealth of character features including exposed wooden beams, exposed Cotswold stone walls and an ornamental inglenook fireplace. Its traditional exterior has been complemented with a fresh contemporary interior and modern facilities, including superfast wireless internet access, an air cooling system, two TVs and underfloor heating in most rooms.
The ground floor has been cleverly designed so that each room flows into the next, giving an open plan feeling to the entire level. The large glass conservatory floods the living area with natural light and this, together with the modern appliances and furnishings, has created a bright, modern house which belies its traditional façade. Uniquely for the Cotswolds, the property enjoys a large terrace with a sunny aspect and a substantial garden which was formerly an orchard. There is free on-street parking readily available close by.
Location
East Leaze is situated in the heart of the vibrant Cotswold market town of Chipping Campden, just a short walk from the wide range of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants the town has to offer. A gem within the Cotswolds, Chipping Campden is one of the most recognised towns in the region and is home to some impressive architecture, including the 17th century Market Hall, the East Banqueting House and St James’ Church.
This beautiful town is surrounded by the glorious countryside of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing guests with a variety of walking trails and cycle routes to explore, including the Cotswold Way long distance walking trail which begins in the town itself. Chipping Campden has plenty of activities and places of interest to visit on its doorstep including the gardens at Hidcote, one of the best Arts and Crafts gardens in Britain, and the Lavender Fields at Snowshill. It is also well-placed for discovering the other wonderful Cotswold market towns of Moreton-in-Marsh and Stow-on-the-Wold, as well as further afield destinations such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and Blenheim Palace.
