A four minute drive away from the stunning Soho Farmhouse, another gem is waiting to be discovered in the picturesque town of Sandford St Martin. Bordering the incredibly scenic Cotswolds National Landscape, cycling and hiking is within easy access and guided walks are a safe and easy way to explore the area, but it’s this home that’s the real star of the show. Built sometime in the 1700s, you can see the period’s influence in the exposed brickwork and although it has been modernised, the chosen furnishings pay homage to the home's origins, creating a homely atmosphere with a lot of heart. You’ll love unwinding in front of the fire in the snug room. Sprawl out on the green velvet sofa or get comfortable reading in the window nook – the latter is recommended if it happens to be raining whilst you’re there. Wander into the kitchen whenever you’re feeling peckish and take a seat under the skylights to enjoy a cup of coffee. The statement wood ceiling is one of our favourite things about this home, but if you’d like to see another, you can exit through the doors to your left and have your drink alfresco in the garden instead.... Unwind as the children run around the generous garden. Eat, sunbathe, picnic by the brook, and stargaze out here knowing that you can return inside and kindle fire whenever it gets a little too nippy. Visit Chipping North – a ten-minute drive away – and pretty Cotswold villages like Bledington and Kingham. Go for a walk around the area and stop at one of the pubs along the way to have a quintessentially British pint and bite to eat.
