THE house

An enchanting charming 18th century cottage. As featured in House and Gardens the cottage is set in a tiny hamlet in the middle of fields and one mile from the Thames. Decorated by Colefax and Fowler it is full of antiques but also all the modern amenities.. The cosiest family retreat or romantic getaway!

The cottage is 1.5 hours from London and yet in the most rural of locations. It is also only 25 minutes from the picturesque Cotswold town of Burford and 10 minutes from the pretty market town of Faringdon. The cottage has been decorated and furnished to the highest of standards and with every mod con (including excellent WiFi, Sky TV, Netflix, Apple TV, Nespresso machine) and so is incredibly comfortable and yet rustic. One mile from the Thames you can walk through fields to a lock where barges pass through. There are other lovely walks also directly from the cottage and a bit further away is the White Horse hill.

There is a main bedroom with a double bed, one bedroom with a single bed and a children’s room with three single beds. The main bedroom has a large TV in a cupboard as well as a working fireplace.

Downstairs there is a kitchen with a flagstoned floor, large AGA, all cooking utensils including a Kitchen Aid and a china filled dresser. Next door is a sitting room full of beautiful antiques and with a large open fireplace. There is also a downstairs cloakroom with a loo, washing machine and extra fridge. 

Outside there is a separate office with a desk and bookshelves, again all decorated to the highest level. There is also a terrace with a table and chairs, and a log shed.
