Southbank House is a rare gem, accessed via a quiet lane and beautifully renovated to blend contemporary design with the classic Cotswold Cottage aesthetic. The clever layout maximises the stunning valley views, offering several outdoor terraces for your enjoyment, some hidden high over the house itself a little further up the hill.

Ground Floor:

The private front door opens into a spacious kitchen diner, complete with a dedicated study area. The kitchen, with a beautiful island, is fully equipped for your short stay, featuring a double oven, gas hob, dishwasher, fridge, washing machine, microwave, kettle and toaster, and finally, a Nespresso-style coffee machine finishes things off. An original Cotswold stone pantry adjacent, housing the freezer, adds a touch of character. The kitchen flows into a perfectly placed dining area with large double sliding doors that open onto the main terrace, allowing you to soak in the breathtaking south-westerly view. Next to the kitchen/diner is a spacious yet cozy lounge with a beautiful wood-burning fire, a comfy sofa and armchair that can seat four, and a television. There's also another seated table at the front, providing an ideal spot to sit, relax, and admire the outlook over the valley.

First Floor:

Upstairs, the first floor comprises three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Just like the ground floor, each bedroom takes full advantage of the outlook. The main bedroom has a double bed, ample furniture, and its own en-suite WC. Bedroom 2 also has a double bed and boasts a large private outside furnished balcony! Bedroom 3 is a comfortable, fully furnished twin room. In addition to the en-suite WC in the main bedroom, there are two more bathrooms: one modern wet room with shower and the other a bathroom with a feature bathtub.

Outside...Heading Up Even Higher!

This home really makes the most of its position, as outside you'll find more stairs leading higher, above the house itself, to some amazing secret terraces. Wi...
