Vendors' thoughts: "We came across Carriers Cottage four years ago in a very sorry state, in need of serious updating and extending. However, the position was the key, elevated with views over the Chedworth valley, secluded and not overlooked with only horses and dog walkers passing by. It was clearly going to be a major project. We embraced the current thinking of insulation and alternative heating throughout the house and have been richly rewarded by the results. As we put all our efforts into every minor detail the house does mean a lot to us both which, if not for ill health, would be the perfect last home. Our lovely house can now be someone else’s project to add to and enjoy."
In a nutshell: A sensational Cotswold cottage with exceptional charm and character.
