Cotswolds, England

The House
The House dates largely from the beginning of the 17th century and is at the end of a no-through road in a small and very pretty village.

Access and location
The village is in the heart of the Cotswold countryside, in the golden triangle of Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water. The village itself has a popular pub and sports club.
The village is about 30 minutes from Oxford and about 2 hours from Central London, by car. The nearest and very convenient mainline train station is Kingham, about 20 minutes away.
The Owners say:
“This is a real family home and much loved by us. It is full of our collections of art and antiques, so is not for those looking for tidy minimalism! The south-facing garden gives enormous pleasure.”
