About this property

Appletree Cottage - Bourton-on-the-Water

The warm golden glow of the Cotswold stone of Appletree Cottage welcomes you as you arrive at this traditional home. Dating back to the 18th century you find a balance between the old and the new creating a contemporary but characterful cottage.

Inside you find an exposed stone inglenook fireplace, beautiful soft furnishings, wooden beams and a comfortable atmosphere. There is a touch of luxury in the ornate décor making Appletree Cottage that bit more special. You instantly feel at home and are drawn to make a cup of tea and put your feet up in front of the fire. There is space to dine together, and family meals can be prepared in the modern kitchen which is complemented by traditional focal points. Each bedroom is a haven for relaxation with a focus on quality bedding and linen so you gently drift away after family days out.

The rear Mediterranean-style garden is perfect for dining alfresco on the terrace. Potted shrubs line the walkway to the gate which takes you straight out to the parking area. There is space for three cars parked end to end, a privilege hard to come by when staying in Bourton-on-the-Water.

Ground Floor

Kitchen:
The bright kitchen looks across the garden and is well-equipped for your stay with an oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Prepare meals that can be taken out onto the patio to be enjoyed on sunny days or through to the dining area. The washing machine and tumble dryer are cleverly hidden away to one side.

Bathroom:
The bathroom is tucked away at the back of the cottage and has a bath with a shower over, WC and sink.

Living/Dining Room:
This stylish room makes a feature of the original exposed stone wall which houses an inglenook fireplace and an electric wood burner effect fire. With a choice of seating, you can curl up on an armchair with a good book or sink into the sofa to enjoy a film on the Smart TV.
Tucked under the stairs is a dining area seating four. Making the most of the space you can have a quick breakfast or pull the table out for an evening meal together.

First Floor

Bedroom One:
The master bedroom has a touch of luxury with a king-size bed and soft button-back headboard. The room has been finished with sumptuous bedding and neutral décor inviting you to spend lazy mornings here. Storage is provided with bedside tables and a double built-in wardrobe and there is a fabulous ornate mirror.

En-suite:
The en-suite has a shower cubicle, WC and sink giving guests staying in this room some added privacy.

Bedroom Two:
The second double bedroom overlooks the front garden and is furnished with a king-size bed with soft Egyptian cotton linen, a tall button-back headboard, a large mirror and beautiful mirrored bedside tables and reading lamps. The room has a double built-in wardrobe with plenty of hanging space and a single corner cupboard with shelving.

Bedroom Three:
The final bedroom is an invitingly cosy room with a single bed. Exuding the same style as the double bedrooms there is a feature mirror, button-back headboard, bedside table and lamp. Despite being the smallest room there is also built-in storage so you can unpack and feel at home.

Outside

The main garden at Appletree Cottage is the Mediterranean style hideaway at the rear. With potted plants and seating, you can enjoy a morning coffee or dine with your group at the table and chairs provided. The garden is fully enclosed, and it is a lovely spot to spend time together. At the front of the cottage is a picturesque lawn leading to the rose and ivy enshrined entrance which is no longer in use.

Overall lovely family hangout.
Great location and lovely property. A bit smaller downstairs than expected but charming. Note: Cafetière was broken and needed replacing before we arrived. A couple of bits of crockery had chips and should be discarded.

Awesome Apple Tree
Perfectly located, beautifully appointed, extremely comfortable. Less than 5 minutes from the heart of Bourton. You could not be in a better location. Master bedroom with ensuite and family bathroom downstairs. Lovely rear garden to relax in, weather permitting!! Only comment would be kitchen items were tired. (Pots, fry pan, crockery chipped) We would highly recommend the property as we had a wonderful two weeks in Bourton on the Water.
