Molly’s cottage is a Grade II listed period cottage situated, in an enviable position on Lower High Street, opposite the beautifully built St Catherine’s church in this delightful old market town. Although recently modernised it contains many of the original doors, windows and floors, some dating back to the 1700’s Chipping Campden is an old market town, nestling in a hollow in the hills, but the majestic tower of St James church is always visible. In the Middle Ages Chipping Campden was one of the richest wool trading centres in the Cotswolds. Almost every house was built by wealthy and influential men and although touching, every house is individual with its own particular style. The oldest house was built by William Grevel in 1380, and the famous Market Hall was built in 1627 by Baptist Hicks. Chipping Campden is the main town in the north western area of the Cotswolds and has buildings that span at least five centuries.
The front door of this lovely self-catering cottage opens into the cosy sitting room with open fireplace and original flagstone floor. From here walk through to the good-sized fitted kitchen with fridge, freezer, electric cooker, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, and toaster and French doors opening onto the garden terrace, complete with garden furniture. The fully enclosed, narrow garden ends with another patio overlooking the peaceful river Cam, (which is really no more than a stream!) with farmland beyond and views to Westington.
Also on the ground floor is the bathroom again with flagstone floor, and has a walk-in shower, toilet and wash hand basin. The original staircase winds upstairs to two double bedrooms. The first has super king size bed with views towards St Catherine’s church, and the original elm plank floor. The second room is smaller with standard double bed and views over the garden, and fields beyond.
