This welcoming cottage is tucked into the corner of a small and peaceful courtyard of similar properties and is very much like stepping into a Tardis! To the rear, there's a delightful communal garden, surrounded by trees.
Whippet Cottage is an inviting and welcoming place to stay, the traditionally styled interior is warm and homely, and original beams can be seen throughout, lending character to the cottage. On the ground floor, you'll find a well-equipped kitchen and dining area, a comfortable living room and a fabulous sunroom with bi-fold doors leading out to the private, enclosed courtyard garden. There's also a ground-floor shower room. On the first floor, there are two cosy bedrooms with views over the rear to the gardens beyond, and a second bathroom.
Outside there is a large, private courtyard surrounded by a canopy of trees and the sound of birdsong. There's a dining table with seating for six, a charcoal barbecue and a secure shed, which is perfect for bicycle storage. This is a lovely spot for alfresco dining and sunset drinks on a warm summer evening. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome for an additional fee per dog.
Ground Floor
Entrance Hall:
From the front door, step into the tiled entrance hall which has a large wooden shoe rack, coat hooks and a handy storage cupboard, where you'll find the iron and ironing board and towels that can be used for wet paws.
Kitchen/Diner:
This welcoming, sociable space has a dining table that seats four easily and opens into a well-equipped kitchen area. A large butcher's block provides additional worktop space. Hidden behind the pale, shaker-style doors you'll find everything you need for a self-catering holiday, including a dishwasher and plenty of cookware, should the urge to bake come over you. There's also a gas hob and electric oven, a full-size fridge-freezer and a washing machine and double doors that can be thrown open to the enclosed courtyard to let the fresh air in.
Living Room:
The simple yet elegant wood burner is a focal point in this generously sized room. The white painted beams overhead add a sense of character, while corner lights give a gentle glow to the room. There's plenty of comfy seating with both a three-seater and a two-seater sofa plus an armchair. There's a large Smart TV in one corner and the wooden furnishings enhance the welcoming ambience.
Sunroom:
This fabulous room runs the entire width of the cottage and is a wonderful addition to the living space. Bifold doors can be folded back allowing inside/outside living and easy access to the enclosed courtyard. There's a further dining table with seating for four, a three-seater sofa, two armchairs and a soft leather chesterfield sofa, all of which are piled with throws and cushions, making it a cosy spot even when the weather is cooler.
Shower Room:
Off the entrance hall, there's a ground-floor shower room with a step-in shower cubicle, hand basin and W.C.
First Floor
Stairs rise from the living room to the first floor.
Bedroom One:
The first of the two bedrooms is a cosy room with a window overlooking the rear and a front Velux bringing in more natural light. The super-comfy king-size bed is made up with crisp white linen and a pretty bedspread, adding colour to the neutral decor. Built-in wardrobes and a tall chest of drawers give plenty of storage and there are also two bedside tables with reading lamps. A pretty rattan two-seater sofa offers occasional seating.
Bathroom / Shower Room:
Between the two bedrooms is a well-fitted bathroom featuring a large bath with a handheld shower, WC and a vanity unit with a hand basin, mirror with light over and side storage cupboards with a shaver point.
Bedroom Two:
Similar in style to bedroom one, this bedroom is a cosy double with views to the rear of the cottage. Built-in under-eaves storage, bedside tables with reading lamps and a small chest of drawers provide everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Outside
To the rear of Whippet Cottage is a private, enclosed courtyard with a side gate to the parking area. A dining table with seating for six and a charcoal barbecue make this a great spot for alfresco dining. The tree canopy surrounding you is filled with birdsong, enhancing the sense of peace. There is also a secure shed suitable for bicycle storage. Beyond the courtyard is the parking area for the cottages with two allocated spaces for Whippet Cottage and beyond this a delightful, communal garden which guests are welcome to use.
This cottage is located in Evesham. Almonry Heritage Centre and Old Campden House are local landmarks, and some of the area's attractions include Hidcote Manor Garden and Kiftsgate Court Gardens.
