The Farmhouse at Downhouse Farm - 4 Bedroom (Sleeps 10) Farmhouse in Dursley

Description

The Farmhouse is a large yet cosy country cottage, with a generously sized kitchen with a warming AGA for you to rustle up some breakfast, a relaxing living room with a homely wood burner and four spacious comfy bedrooms for you to get a good nights rest. Here’s an overview of the rooms within the Farmhouse.

Ground Floor

A well equipped kitchen, complete with all you need to cater for your stay. An AGA ensures the room is toasty and warm through the cooler months, but don’t worry if you haven’t cooked on one before, there is a separate oven and hobs for you to use. There is an integrated dishwasher and large fridge-freezer, plus a farmhouse table which comfortably seats eight making this a sociable, bustling room and the heart of the house. An additional small table and chairs can be included to provide seating for groups up to 10. A lovely large window makes it a bright space and provides views across the garden to the fields beyond.

There are two large receptions rooms to provide plenty of space for you to relax after a busy day sightseeing or walking the local hills.

The first is cosy with a wood burning stove, perfect to unwind in front of with a glass of wine or to enjoy a family board game. It has a large corner sofa, and a two-seater sofa and smart TV.

The second has a lovely gas fired stove, with a hatch that connects it to the kitchen - ideal for keeping an eye on the younger members of the group. The beautiful wooden floors, original wooden shutters and even the remains of the historic servants bell fill this room with character and charm. It is furnished with a couple of comfy armchairs, a two-seater sofa and piano.

Downstairs also houses a flagstone-floored boot room, which leads from the kitchen to the garden, providing the ideal space for muddy wellies after a day stomping through the countryside, a place to store any bikes or dry down muddy and wet canine companions. Although a quirk of the building means the outside door is very low, so be sure to duck on your way outside!

A utility room is kitted out with a washing machine and tumble dryer, handy to have although hopefully you won’t need to spend too much of your holiday doing washing! This leads through to a downstairs toilet.

The ‘zip and link’ beds can be combined for a super king or separated for twin beds. There is plenty of space for a travel cot or additional guest bed to be supplied on request.

Main Bathroom
A spacious bathroom, with a crisp and fresh grey décor. You can enjoy a relax under the rainfall shower or a soak in the bath.

Outdoors and Parking
Step outside into a tranquil environment, where the private enclosed garden looks out across the fields beyond. Enjoy relaxing in this rural haven, surrounded by bird song, or why not have a friendly game of croquet on the lawn. For the warmer months there is comfy outdoor seating to while away the hours under the apple tree, plus a picnic style table and benches for outdoor dining. Although fully enclosed we cannot guarantee the garden is secure for dogs, as on one side there is a wall which is approximately half a meter high. The large gravel driveway at the front of the farmhouse offers ample off-road parking.

Our Farm and Local Area
Downhouse Farm is located in the scenic Cotswolds on what is still a working farm, as it has been for centuries. Through the spring and summer months there will be sheep grazing and the hum of tractors in the fields, mowing or baling the hay. Our resident pigs, Dot and Daisy, will grunt you a friendly hello.

The farm is nestled below Cam Peak and Long Down, beautiful hills on the Cotswold Way in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which are well worth the climb as you will be rewarded with breath-taking views over the Severn Vale and surrounding Cotswolds.

We're in a gorgeous rural setting, but close by to modern comforts - the town of Dursley is just a mile away for access to supermarkets, pubs, cafes and restaurants.
