Letter Box Cottage
Letter Box Cottage is a 18th century Grade II
Listed, 2 bedroomed detached thatched cottage, located in
the pretty hamlet of Hidcote Boyce, 3 miles from
historic Chipping Campden and within walking
distance of the National Trust gardens at Hidcote
Bartrim and Kiftsgate Court gardens. 10 miles from
Stratford-upon-Avon, Sudeley Castle and Warwick
Castle are a short drive away. Eating out is well
catered for – Chipping Campden has wine bars,
pubs and restaurants serving a wide variety of
foods and local pubs nearby in Ebrington and
Ilmington.
Letter Box Cottage was once part of the
Ebrington Estate and this is denoted by
the letter "E" on the entrance door. The
other estate in the area is the Harrowby
Estate and cottages belonging to the two
estates can be found in Ebrington, Hidcote
Boyce and Hidcote Bartrim. It is obvious
from the house timbers that some elements
of the structure date pre 1800, as they
appear to be in their second use (possibly
ships timbers).
