Coates Mill

Cotswolds, United Kingdom[view map]

The house has a conventional, simple layout spread over two floors. The small kitchen (and utility room) opens into the dining area off of which is a snug lounge with open fire and all your audio-visuals. Follow the steep wooden staircase up to the two neighbouring bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. The bedrooms aren’t enormously roomy, but they’re in keeping with the cosy nature of a traditional terraced mill house.

Interior

Bedrooms

Bedroom 1:  The beamed Red room has a superking bed, which can be made into two singles. 21st-century requirements aren’t needed in this antiques-furnished room where a original Victorian fireplace is a charming reminder of its centuries-old heritage.
Bedroom 2: The Green room has a slightly smaller double bed, and is also floorboarded; there isn’t a lot of storage, but ample for a short stay.
Bathroom: The showpiece of this all-white, old fashioned yet contemporary, bathroom is the mighty vigorous Jacuzzi.


Kitchen
Fully equipped with Smeg range cooker and double oven, microwave, dishwasher, cafetiere. Find culinary accoutrements such as decent knives, peeler, grater, whisk, clingfilm and foil in the drawers. The kitchen is stocked with the basics; tea, coffee, milk, salt and pepper.
Living room
The exposed grey-stone wall and cow-skin rug sets a cosy scene ideal for making the most of the open ready-laid fire and a huge supply of chopped wood stacked beautifully in the dining room. Snuggle up on the big-enough-for-two-to-sprawl-on corner sofa in front of a 24-inch flatscreen TV with Sky Freeview and DVD player.
Dining room
There are seats enough for six at the wooden dining table, but four settling in under the stylish rectangular chandelier will feel just right too. And if you’ve got a laptop with you, this is the perfect spot to plot up and consult the www.smithandfriends.com website to decide what to do while you’re away, while you chat to whoever’s in the kitchen fixing supper. A HiFi can be listened to here but is also piped into the bathroom, upstairs.
Other
The utility room has a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer; all washing products provided.

Outdoor

Gardens
A little lawn at the front, with a low hedge for you to chat to the neighbours over, and two private raised gardens at the back calling out for guests to take full advantage of the barbecue and pair of sunloungers in. There’s even a little outdoor loo lending the property as a how-we-used-to-live souvenir.
Parking
There is room for two cars just outside on the drive to the next house. Park as close to the hedge on the left, next to the front garden as this is a walkway.
Other
Turn right out of the gate at the end of the lane – you’re a ten-minute walk to Winchcombe, a lovely little town dating back to Saxon times when it was capital of the kingdom of Mercia.
