Petty France, Badminton, GL9

Set in the Cotswolds, Petty France is a small hamlet found on the A46 just a short drive away from Tetbury, Chipping Sodbury and the M4 junction 18. The famous Badminton Estate with its rolling countryside views and enjoyable walks are literally on your doorstep giving South Cottage a lovely slice of the Cotswold lifestyle! This attached Grade II Listed cottage has been extended and extensively renovated in the past few years and so offers a modern interior with all the charm of a period cottage. Approaching from the driveway (shared with the adjoining cottage) you have off street parking for several cars which leads onto a wonderful lawned garden to the front offering a good degree of privacy. From here there are public footpaths that take you across the fields to Bodkin Hazel Wood and to the village of Hawkesbury Upton. Once inside you are met with a country style kitchen/diner overlooking the garden benefitting from integrated appliances. From here you enter the living room with a feature inglenook fireplace and log burner, plus a large storage cupboard; a lovely cosy setting to enjoy the winter nights. Stairs lead up to two bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor, continuing up to the top eaves bedroom which has feature beams and a shower room with WC. The property has shared private drainage with the surrounding cottages and electric heating. Management Fees Apply for the Private Drainage system.
