Description

Field Cottage is a delightful semi-detached period home located within an idyllic setting nestled into the hillside in the popular village of Chalford with superb views over the Golden Valley.

A pleasant trickling stream flows at the foot of the garden whilst the tiered garden incorporates terraces, lawns and mature fruit trees.
