About this property
Kimkeri, Bourton-on-the-Water - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms
Set just a short stroll from the centre of picturesque Bourton-on-the-Water, one of the Cotswolds' most iconic villages, Kimkeri is a traditional Cotswold stone house with a wealth of charm and character. This is the perfect choice for those searching for a peaceful Cotswold escape with plenty of attractions within walking distance.
Once inside you'll find original quarry tiles lining the hall floor, which leads from the front door to the rear of the house, stained glass windows and exposed Cotswold stone walls and beams all adding to the appeal. On the ground floor there's a spacious living room and cosy snug, both with decorative fireplaces, and stretching the width of the house is a fabulous dining/family room, a sociable space with plenty of room for all. To one end is a light-filled dining space with a large dining table set beneath glass roof lights with doors that you can throw open to the patio and to the other a relaxing TV area. On the first floor are two beautiful bedrooms and a bathroom, and on the second floor, a spacious master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.
After a busy day exploring, the enclosed, sunny rear garden is a beautiful and peaceful spot to relax with a G&T or two, as you listen to the bees busy in the lavender bushes, and perhaps rustle up a delicious feast on the barbecue. Through the garden gate at the end of the lawn, you'll find private parking for three cars, a real bonus in such a central and popular location.

Kitchen:
This practical room is well-equipped with everything needed for a self-catering holiday. The electric range-style stove has five gas burners making meal preparation easy, there's a fridge with a small freezer box and an eye-level dishwasher. The large roof skylight and window to the side ensure there is plenty of natural light.
Dining Room/Family Room:
Stretching the width of Kimkeri this welcoming and sociable space includes a light-filled dining area, with a large wooden table which can seat all guests comfortably, set beneath a roof lantern, to the rear, double doors open out to the patio and garden. The other end is arranged as a TV area with a large, wall-mounted Smart TV and two vibrant yellow velour easy chairs with matching footstools for comfortable viewing. The storage cupboard built into the original fireplace contains a selection of board games and cards.
Snug:
This cosy room is filled with character including exposed Cotswold stone walls and a decorative cast iron fireplace with floral tile panels. The two-seater sofa adds a splash of colour and makes this a lovely spot to curl up with a coffee and a good book.

The rear garden of Kimkeri is a beautiful south-facing plot with a large, level lawn, perfect for garden games and picnics. It's fully enclosed with an old stone wall to one side bordered by a swathe of fragrant lavender bushes, whilst the other side is a well-established hedge. The large patio boasts a rattan outdoor dining set. Enjoy morning coffee here as the day begins, rustle up an alfresco feast on the Weber barbecue or relax with evening drinks on warm summer evenings. A path leads through a high gate into a small courtyard area, where the owner has a garden shed, and a second gate leads into the front garden. A beautiful pear tree flourishes here, in honour of an original pear tree that was once planted. Raised borders and gravel beds frame the footpath and front gate. There is parking for three cars in a private parking bay for Kimkeri at the rear of the garden.
