Chapel Lane, Mickleton, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire GL55

Walnut Cottage is a beautifully presented home, perfectly positioned in the heart of this charming North Cotswold village — a setting defined by warmth, character, and generous proportions.

The welcoming entrance hall opens into a spacious drawing room, centred around an attractive fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating an inviting space for relaxed evenings. The dining kitchen offers an excellent environment for family living, while the orangery — with glorious views across the immaculate garden — provides a serene place to unwind. Also on the ground floor are two double bedrooms and a well-appointed ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom, making this level ideal for flexible family living.

The first floor continues to impress, with two further double bedrooms, each benefitting from its own en suite.

Outside, Walnut Cottage maintains its appeal. A gated driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and access to the garage. Above the garage sits a separately accessed double bedroom with a ground-floor shower room — a superb guest suite or an excellent opportunity for those wishing to run a small bed and breakfast.

The garden is a true highlight: extensive lawns, beautifully stocked herbaceous borders, and a thriving vegetable patch create a wonderfully tranquil outdoor space. The rear patio enjoys abundant sunshine and offers the perfect setting for al fresco dining or peaceful relaxation.
