Vendors' thoughts: "Church Cottage is a charming, characterful home nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds. Dating back to the 1800s, it’s full of warmth, light, and history — a place that has lovingly held generations of stories within its walls. For us, it has been more than just a house; it’s been a joyful family home filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable milestones. Set in the picturesque village of Poulton, we’ve been lucky to be part of an incredible community — from peaceful countryside walks to lively afternoons at the family cricket club next door. Leaving this special place won’t be easy, but we hope the next chapter for Church Cottage is filled with as much happiness as it’s given us."
In a nutshell: A gorgeous Cotswold cottage with brilliant living space in a superb spot in the village.
