Cirencester About the Property
Blackbird Cottage is a beautifully presented five-bedroom country house set within private grounds in the picturesque Cotswold village of Ewen, just outside Cirencester. Sleeping up to nine guests, the property combines traditional Cotswold character with generous accommodation, comfortable interiors and extensive grounds, making it particularly well suited to families and groups of friends.
The main living spaces are generous and inviting, with comfortable reception areas providing ample room for everyone to relax together. The dining space is well suited to shared meals and long evenings around the table, while the kitchen provides a practical and sociable space for preparing meals. Throughout the house there are quieter corners to retreat to, giving the property a relaxed and homely feel.
The five bedrooms are individually styled and comfortable, retaining the character of the house while providing peaceful spaces away from the main living areas. The three bathrooms offer useful flexibility for larger groups and family stays.
Outside, Blackbird Cottage sits within its own private grounds, giving the property a real sense of space and seclusion. The gardens extend into an area of woodland, providing a lovely setting for walks and exploring. A private tennis court offers an excellent opportunity for some friendly competition, while the fire pit creates a natural gathering point for evenings spent outdoors.
The surrounding grounds make the property particularly well suited to family groups, with plenty of space to enjoy the countryside without leaving the house. The combination of the characterful main house, generous outdoor space and private facilities gives Blackbird Cottage a distinctive appeal as a Cotswold country property.
