Harrowby End is a beautiful 18th century thatched cottage set within the picturesque Cotswolds village of Ebrington (as featured in Penelope Keith's 'Hidden Villages'). Everything about this Grade II listed stone property oozes comfort and taste. Completely refurbished in 2020, the cottage still retains many of charming historic features including an inglenook fireplace and exposed wooden beams.
From the moment you step inside this stunning, semi-detached cottage you are greeted by a cosy, welcoming atmosphere. Harrowby End is a true home from home. The ground floor comprises an open-plan sitting and dining area with exposed beams and day-dreaming window seats. The inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove is the focal point of the room and the perfect addition on cool winter evenings when all you want to do is curl up on the comfortable sofas as the night draws in. The compact yet well-equipped kitchen has everything you need and looks out onto the lovely cottage garden, however you might be tempted not to cook at all, with an award winning pub within stumbling distance! Head up the stairs to the first floor to find the two well-proportioned bedrooms, a master with a king-size Hypnos bed with sumptuous linens, and a twin bedroom, ideal for children or adults alike with 3' single Hypnos beds. The spacious shower room is modern and fresh with fluffy towels and complimentary toiletries. Outside, the large, enclosed garden is bordered with mature trees and pretty shrubs.
