A beautifully designed two-bedroom ground floor apartment in the exclusive Cotswold Gate development, just moments from the heart of Burford

This well-designed two-bedroom ground floor apartment is located within the sought-after Cotswold Gate development, just half a mile from Burford town centre and only a few minutes’ walk from the renowned Burford Garden Company. The beautifully presented apartment benefits from its own private entrance, with a welcoming hallway and useful utility space leading into a central dining hall – very much the heart of the home. From here, the south-facing drawing room opens seamlessly into the kitchen and enjoys views across the private enclosed terrace and communal gardens. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom, while the second bedroom is served by a stylish additional shower room and built-in wardrobes.

Designed exclusively for the over-55s, the development offers generously proportioned living space, with most homes featuring a terrace, balcony, private garden, or a combination of these, as well as allocated parking. All are set within beautifully landscaped grounds, fully maintained by the Estate Manager.

Residents also enjoy access to the welcoming lounge, soon to become the hub of community life. For visiting family and friends, a luxurious guest suite is available to book, providing both comfort and convenience.
