The Orchard is a charming three-bedroom cottage situated on a picturesque estate grounds, specifically designed for the over 55s. The property is part of a purpose-built retirement development managed by Cognatum Estates, a not-for-profit organization. The cottage is built on land once belonging to John Keble, a poet and founder of the Oxford Movement, and features local stone construction, garages, and a hidden garden square with a swimming pavilion and sun terrace. The estate is conveniently located just 250 yards from Fairford market place, with its antique shops, weekly market, and historic church. The surrounding area offers plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities, such as visiting the Mill and Trout Farm, exploring the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens, and enjoying the bustling market towns of Cirencester, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Burford. The property benefits from a 999-year lease, no ground rent, and a range of services provided by Cognatum Estates, including maintenance, repairs, and insurance, allowing owners to "lock up and leave" with peace of mind.
