The front door opens into a sociable central dining room with an inglenook fireplace and flagstone floor, running the depth of the house and tying the spaces together.

The second floor provides a third double bedroom, ideal as a childrens room or guest space, again with fine views.The property enjoys a generous driveway with space for three to four vehicles. The gardens, extending to around a third of an acre, include two versatile cabins set within the grounds.

A covered seating area at the front of the cottage provides a lovely spot to enjoy the sunshine and take in the far reaching views. To the side, gently sloping lawns and a well established growing area add to the gardens appeal and create a strong sense of space. The two cabins work well together, one providing comfortable living accommodation, the other a kitchen and shower room, making them ideal for guests, holiday letting, or potential income. At the top of the garden, a level lawn offers a perfect play area for children, alongside a wildlife pond that attracts a variety of species. The entire garden is securely enclosed, creating a safe and appealing setting for both children and dogs.The property is situated in a quiet country lane in the hamlet of Farfield, on the outskirts of Cam and Dursley, nestled on the edge of the Cotswold escarpment and surrounded by breathtaking woodland and idyllic walking routes.
