Get close to nature at this sprawling country farmhouse fringing the ancient village of Shipton Moyne in Gloucestershire. Set within thirty acres of pasture and woodlands fronted by a glistening lake, there's much exploring to do. And kids will love you for that newly-refurbished pool house. Inside, there's a more-is-more opulence to its timeless interiors that may not appeal to you minimalists out there – but those open fires and rolltop baths will soon win you over. Fancy a change of scene? Shipton Moyne's local pub is just a stroll away for hearty grub. Or jump in the complementary convertible Jeep and take in a match at Beaufort Polo Club (just a two-minute drive away) – you'll be in good company.
