Although not started, this includes provision of a two-storey extension with a garden room and room above. Situation Kimberley Cottage lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is also within a Conservation Area, intended to conserve the very special contrast between the landscape and properties located in this beautiful valley setting. The Chedworth area is believed to have been occupied for some 4,000 years and the Domesday Book provides a detailed picture of the development of Chedworth by the 11th Century. Chedworth is set dramatically in a beautiful valley with woodland and meadows edged by drystone walls with a meandering stream threading along the valley floor. Approaching the village there is no suggestion of its existence until one begins to drop down into the valley itself.

The village has an active community, with a pre-Norman church, a village school, a 17th Century pub, village hall, farm shop, cricket ground and football pitch, along with a number of active clubs and groups. Local shops are in Northleach, 4 miles away and Cirencester, about 7 miles, has an excellent range of shops and services including weekly markets and a monthly farmers’ market. The larger centre of Cheltenham is within easy driving distance providing a wider choice of shops and recreational and cultural facilities. The A419 dual carriageway at Cirencester provides easy access to J15 of the M4 at Swindon. The A40 at Northleach provides links to Cheltenham and Oxford. London Heathrow, Birmingham and Bristol airports are all within an hour and a half. Amenities The Cotswolds are renowned for country pursuits and there are many enjoyable walks in the area together with an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways with excellent riding.
