Sitting behind the owner's thatched cottage, off Gretton Road in the sleepy village of Gotherington, is Hillview Hideaway - a luxury retreat, ingeniously designed into a double garage. If at first you feel this is just a garage, just wait until you open the garden gate, where you will begin your adventure and discover it is so much more.
Step through the side door into a contemporary light and bright, open-plan living space with a fully equipped kitchen, a dining area - with a circular table and seating for two - a living area - with a large smart TV - and a luxurious shower room with a double-width walk-in shower. On the mezzanine floor, in the eaves of this delightful holiday retreat, is a beautifully appointed, double bedroom, with air conditioning for warm summer nights and five windows all with custom blinds, allowing light to shine in while ensuring a good night's sleep.
Once you're through the tall, wooden side gate, you'll immediately notice the attention to detail that the owners have lavished on their holiday home, from the adorable wellie boot rack through to the manicured patio with its hot tub, seating area and BBQ. To the front is a dedicated parking space and a charging point for electric cars. It's the perfect space to relax in after a long day exploring the Cotswold countryside and sights.
Ground Floor
Step through the side entrance into the stylish and immaculately presented open-plan living space where you'll at once appreciate the attention to detail and the calming ambiance created by the soft white, natural colours and wood-effect flooring. To one side are hooks to hang your coats on the newel post and an umbrella stand with space for shoes. Look above and you'll see a large, circular light tube bringing a lovely wash of natural light inside.

The stylish shower room features a double width, walk-in shower, with an overhead rainfall shower head and hand-held shower. The wash basin has a custom-built vanity unit with a make-up mirror and a large over-sink mirror.
