Far from the maddening crowd, you’ll find this stunning loft apartment set in Kingham, one of Cotswold’s prettiest villages. Climb its external stone staircase and you’ll discover an airy, luminous space with limed oak flooring, exposed beams, Juliet balcony windows, and arts and crafts furniture adding rich layers of interest. This charming home hides a few surprises too. At the heart of the apartment is a dramatic cupola, which floods the living space with natural light. And outside, in the shared grounds of the country estate where this apartment lies, you’ll find a stunning shared indoor pool, a hammam, and five acres of manicured gardens with a Moorish-inspired pavilion garden at its heart. Despite its serenely peaceful setting, you’re just a five-minute stroll to the heart of Kingham with award-winning gastropubs. Make sure to visit the renowned spa and farm shop, just a five-minute drive away, for a spot of pampering. And when it’s time to uncover more of Cotswold’s natural beauty, we suggest starting in the chocolate-box village of Stow-on-the-Wold (just a fifteen-minute drive away) for antique browsing and cream tea. It would be rude not to.
