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

recreational facilities located in the larger towns of Cheltenham (16

miles) and Cirencester (18 miles). A main line station in Kingham (8
