Little Elms - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

The owners have gone to great lengths to create a fabulous, contemporary, sleeps-four home, whilst conserving the original 1700's features. Throughout there's a blend of modern art, Cotswold Company furniture and Farrow & Ball paintwork. The master bedroom has a magnificent emperor-size bed, all the way from the Pottery Barn in the USA, while the second bedroom has a delightful, bespoke bunk bed. On the first floor, with a great view to the eponymous elm tree and Market Square, is the spacious living room with a 63" smart TV.

Little Elms is decorated throughout with Farrow & Ball Ammonite and Moles Breath paint, giving it a calm and soothing feel that's fresh in the warmer months and cosy at the colder times of year.

Ground Floor


Entrance Hall:
Step through the front door into a small hallway, with stairs to the upper floors straight ahead and the kitchen-dining room to the left. Here you'll find an umbrella stand and room to take of shoes and walking boots.

The Kitchen-Dining Room:
The beautiful, bright, open-plan kitchen-dining room is the focal point of the house and a great space to relax, cook, socialise and enjoy your meals around a generously sized table. There is every appliance needed for preparing home-cooked food, from the Smeg fridge-freezer to the abundance of kitchen cabinets and work surfaces. An original window seat is a lovely place to perch and watch the world go by - through the wooden shutters. Behind the door is a handy upcycled church pew with seating and hooks for coats and storage for footwear. A Porcelain-tiled floor, with underfloor heating, provides a smart finishing touch.

Basement
Cotswold stone stairs lead down from the kitchen-dining room into a vaulted room with original stone flooring. At the far end of the basement is a newly installed cloakroom with a toilet and wash basin.

Master Bedroom:
Up on the top floor, with a fabulous view out over the square and the towering elm tree, the gorgeous master bedroom is the most romantic of retreats. With its sumptuous emperor-size bed (2m/6ft6") grey, rich lavender, and subtle pink tones, this bedroom draws you in to relax and unwind. Furnished with bedside tables and reading lamps, an Art Deco-style dressing table, a chest of drawers, hanging rail (not shown), and a full-length mirror. A door leads directly from the bedroom into the shower room, creating an en-suite feel and purpose.

The family shower room has two Jack & Jill style doors, with one opening to the master bedroom and the other to the landing, providing direct access for guests in the bunk bedroom. Both doors have locks on the inside to ensure privacy.
