Tucked down a quiet lane, The Leat is a wonderful getaway with stunning views across the rooftops of Malmesbury. Part of a 19th century mill, this unique holiday cottage is a perfect base for exploring all that The Cotswolds has to offer.
Take a moment for some rest and relaxation in the elegant open plan living area after a day exploring the local attractions. Prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen and spend time with your loved ones in the dining area, seating four guests. The unusual layout means the two bedrooms are on their own floor, offering seclusion. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite and there is a second bathroom on the top floor.
The sitting area opens out onto the balcony which is a fabulous addition to this property. Soak up the far-reaching views and unwind in The Leat’s pleasant atmosphere. Spend a quiet moment here with your morning coffee, take in the fabulous views and the gentle soundtrack of the River Avon flowing beneath. This bolthole is a walker’s paradise with plenty of walks to discover from your doorstep. Wander into Malmesbury for a day exploring its beautiful high street.

A family bathroom, at the end of the stairs of the living area, features a bath and separate shower, toilet, and basin, flooded with light thanks to a Velux window.
Outside
A set of French doors at the end of the living area open up onto a pretty balcony area complete with an outdoor dining set; the perfect place to enjoy the views of the river below, tuck into an alfresco feast or watch a traditional game of bowls, courtesy of Malmesbury Bowls Club next door. The river flows directly beneath this old mill and provides some easy-to-follow walking routes right from your doorstep. A real benefit in this busy market town are the two parking spaces that come with the property, found on the driveway at the end of the Mill building.
