Set on 21 acres of land in the beautiful Cotswolds, this plush home is a tranquil spot and a fantastic base to explore the local Oxfordshire countryside and attractions. When we visited, we were particularly impressed by the design of the home, with a beautiful blend of traditional country cottage and modern architectural gem. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the home with natural light, while interesting artworks lend a contemporary feel. There are plenty of cosy and welcoming nooks, making it ideal for a group who want a wholesome country break with lots of opportunities for reconnection, whether that’s during late-night fireside chats, rustic meals cooked on the AGA, long country walks or outdoor barbecues on summer nights. It’s surrounded by the most picturesque villages the Cotswolds have to offer. Within walking distance you'll find the award-winning Daylesford organic farm shop and 16th century pub, the Fox at Oddington, for a cracking Sunday roast. Pick up the car and Stow-on-the-Wold is a 10 minute drive away; in less than 20 you'll reach the exclusive Soho Farmhouse. Overall, this is a wow home, filled with natural light and country charm.
