Pass the Keys | Cotswold Country Style Living | Chipping Norton

Welcome to my stylish cottage located on a quiet lane in Chipping Norton within the Cotswolds, 15 mins to Soho Farmhouse.

Relax by the log fire in the cosy living room and entertain in the open plan kitchen-diner with country living design.

Upstairs you'll find two double bedrooms served by a large bathroom. Outside is a stunning large garden.

With countryside walks on the doorstep and pubs & restaurants a short stroll away, it’s the perfect escape for family or friends to eat, sleep & relax!

Please note: the very steep narrow staircase is part of the cottage's historic charm, but may not be suitable for young children or those with mobility issues. There is also no handrail for the top step as it turns.

Enter through the rear door and step into the open plan kitchen-dining-living area. The fully equipped kitchen has all modern amenities including an oven, induction hob, fridge, small air fryer and Nespresso coffee machine (please provide your own capsules).

The dining area features a large dining table comfortably seating 4-6 guests.

The cosy living room complete with open fire, TV with Amazon firestick for streaming services and comfy seating, offers the perfect spot to unwind after a long day exploring the area.

Beyond the kitchen is a small utility room with washing machine and dishwasher for your convenience. There is also a downstairs WC in the hallway.

Upstairs, you'll discover two generously proportioned double bedrooms, both overlooking the stunning back garden with far-reaching views of the countryside.

The master bedroom offers a double bed (4'6" x 6'3") with shelves filled with books for you to browse during your stay. There is also a wardrobe and chest of drawers.

Bedroom 2 provides a comfortable double bed (4'6" x 6'3") with a chest of drawers and stunning far-reaching views of the countryside.

The bedrooms share access to the spacious stylish bathroom, with a freestanding bath and overhead shower, sink & WC (please note, there is slightly reduced headroom in the shower).

Completing the picture is a beautifully landscaped large back garden with seating for 2 on the terrace beside the cottage with additional seating for 4 and an outdoor table in a private nook, perfect for al fresco dining.

There are many countryside walks directly from the doorstep with Chipping Norton centre a 20 minute walk away. Soho Farmhouse is a 15 minute drive, Diddly Squat Farm Shop is 3 miles away with Bicester Village Designer Outlet, Blenheim Palace & Woodstock around 25 minutes away.

The cottage is also well located in the stunning Cotswolds AONB with the charming villages of Moreton-in-Marsh and Stow-on-the-Wold just 15 minutes away.

Guests have full access to my semi-detached cottage as described.
The shed and some cupboards in the main bedroom and kitchen are locked for my private use.

There is private parking for a small/medium car directly in front of the property with additional off-street parking at the top of the road.

This is my own home when I'm not working or travelling and is located in a quiet rural neighbourhood. We therefore ask guests to please be respectful and entirely considerate of my home, personal belongings and our neighbours when staying here.

Quiet hours are from 11pm to 7am, please respect these timings and please try to keep noise to a minimum at all times as most of our neighbours are also home during the day.

Strictly no smoking or vaping indoors please.

Sorry, no pets allowed.

Standard check-in time is from 4pm onwards and check-out time is by 10am. We may be able to offer a later check-out or earlier check-in for an extra cost subject to availability and via prior arrangement only.

The Rayburn cooker doesn't work - it's disconnected and is there for display purposes only.

As with many older cottages, the occasional cobweb can appear despite our best efforts to clear them. If you do happen to spot any, please just let us know - we’ll keep working hard to ensure the cottage is always clean and welcoming for our guests.

A small pack of logs & kindling is provided from October-March. If you wish to use the log fire more often, we suggest purchasing more for your stay.

Mid-stay cleans and/or linen changes can be organised on request for an additional charge.

Linen, towels & toiletries are provided along with a welcome pack including tea/coffee/sugar/milk sachets and snacks.

We can supply a travel crib & high chair for an additional cost of £25 per stay, please kindly request these at the time of booking. Please bring your own bedding for the travel crib.

Thank you and wishing you a wonderful time in my home!

My property management team will be available 24/7 via email or phone to provide any assistance my guests may need.
