4 Bedroom House For Sale
The Location
Chedworth is one of the most popular Cotswold villages in view of both its location, with easy access to Cirencester, Cheltenham, Swindon and London and also its picturesque nature, straggling as it does down both sides of its valley from the Parish Church, medieval Manor House and pub at one end to the collection of period stone houses which form lower Chedworth at the other. The village is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is surrounded by lovely rolling countryside with many excellent walks – a network of footpaths connects all parts of the village and one of the best walks is through the beautiful Chedworth Woods to the very fine 4th Century Roman Villa, owned by the National Trust.
The village has an excellent community spirit with a thriving church, a small but happy primary school, village hall and a friendly pub. Most activities in the village are connected with these traditional institutions but there are also a tennis club, cricket club and numerous other village organisations.

Orchard Cottage is a charming period home of linear layout and traditional construction of natural stone elevations set beneath a pitched Cotswold stone tiled roof. The property is quite extensive with each room benefitting from a southerly aspect.
