As pretty as its name suggests, Honeysuckle Cottage is a charming 18th Century property located in a sought-after Cotswold village.
In the small Cotswolds village of Nether Westcote, overlooking the small triangular village green, sits the charming stone home of Honeysuckle Cottage which is currently on the market with Savills for £1.1 million.
The Grade II-listed property dates back to the 18th century and offers four bedrooms over its two floors. An archetypal Cotswold cottage, Honeysuckle retains a wealth of period features, such as stone floors, beamed ceilings and fireplaces under its Cotswold-stone roof.
It’s been extended twice during its lifetime, and comes with a well-equipped kitchen with an electric Aga, as well as a hidden spiral staircase that provides secondary access to the first floor.
Staff at The Cotswold School are running or walking a marathon over the Easter school holidays to raise awareness around mental health. From teaching assistants and support staff to teachers, senior leaders and the principal, people across the school have been getting outdoors and exercising, to focus on their wellbeing. As well as taking care of their own physical and mental health, they are raising money to go towards positive mental health support for young people at the school. This includes pupil counselling, provided by local charity Headspace. The school set up the Easter Marathon Challenge during lockdown, while most staff and pupils were teaching and learning from home.
The money has gone towards providing healthy ready-meals for busy staff on wards. Karen Organ of Cheltenham and Gloucester Hospitals Charity, who received the donation, said: “We want to thank everyone from the Cotswold School community for helping to support our NHS staff as they continue to work throughout the pandemic. Our teams are working long hours on Covid wards and to be able to give them a healthy hot meal, that they do not have to think about, is really important. The staff feel so valued by this kind and generous support and we would like thank everyone that has donated.”
