Five Bells Cottage Bledington
Kingham, CotswoldsOverview
A Grade II seventeenth-century village cottage
Five Bells Cottage is a Grade II 17th-century home in the centre of Bledington, recently refurbished to create a bright, calm, and quietly elegant space. The village is classic Cotswolds — a green, a brook, and the award-winning The King’s Head Inn close by — while the cottage itself balances original character with thoughtful, modern comfort.
