Set on a quiet country lane, Tarlton is a tiny hamlet of around fifty properties. The cottage overlooks the open farmland and woods of the famous Bathhurst Estate - you may walk from the door all the way to Cirencester on estate land or enjoy local country walks on its pathways. The local pub - the Tunnel House Inn - is around 20 minutes walk, partly along a country path.
Asphodel cottage is detached and sits on its own good-sized plot (no other properties sharing any part of the land). There are single cottages to either side but they do not overlook the cottages private gardens.
In the orchard area is a small ornate metal table and chairs. You can relax on cushioned outdoor sofas, under a parasol, within the low walls of a former outhouse. There are up-lights for a romantic night time setting.
There is off street parking for at least one large car or two smaller ones.
The garden is surrounded by low walls and suitable to let supervised pets (permitted with small extra charge) roam free, although determined pets may be able to 'escape'.
