About this property
Little Culver is a stunning and unique Cotswold stone property, built in 1821, forming the right-hand of a beautiful castellated Grade II listed building, Culver Cottage, nestled in Minchinhampton. The property has been lovingly refurbished internally, whilst retaining its character features, and is a perfect base for a family or group of friends seeking a relaxing break in the stunning Cotswolds.
As you approach the property, you will marvel at the stunning architecture and gothic style windows as you walk through the ornate arched doorway, into the shared lobby, and through the front door of Little Culver, which opens into a beautiful and spacious sitting room adorned with antique maps and artwork, with welcoming seating for you and your loved ones to snuggle into on a cold evening, watching your favourite TV show whilst the warmth from the woodburning stove keeps the room toasty.
Further into the property you will find the stylish and contemporary kitchen/diner that overlooks the back garden and contains everything the budding chef requires to coo up a delicious meal as you all retreat around the large dining table to enjoy your food.
A handy utility room is accessed from the garden and contains a washing machine and tumble dryer, perfect for making use of so you can go home with a bag full of clean washing, as well as a basin and WC.
The enclosed courtyard garden catches the afternoon sun and has inviting seating as well as a chiminea and charcoal barbecue to make use of in summer months.
Heading upstairs, the master bedroom is full of character and has lovely views overlooking the garden containing a double bed, the second and third bedrooms are perfect for children and contain twin beds and a single bed.
Completing the property is a lovely bathroom where you can enjoy a relaxing soak amongst the bubbles in the bath.
At Little Culver, you are situated close to amenities such as The Crown Inn pub as well as a village shop, a post office, an independent butcher, and two well-regarded cafés, Henry’s and The Kitchen, where you can enjoy a delicious breakfast before heading to either of the vibrant market towns of Nailsworth and Stroud where you will find a wide range of things to do including the beautiful Sladebank Woods in Stroud and Woodchester Mansion and Park in Nailsworth.
Little Culver is also well located for visiting the spa town of Bath, where you can take a tour of the famous Roman Baths which are well-preserved thermae, a temple constructed on the site between 60-70AD in the first few decades of Roman Britain – a very educational and interesting day out for all, where you can finish your day with a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants Bath has to offer.
For an unforgettable holiday, stay at Little Culver.
