FIND YOUR DREAM COUNTRY HOME

Our property of the month

THE SOFT SOUND OF THE RIVER COLN LAPPING AGAINST its banks can be heard from the garden gate of this period home, thought to date back some 300 years. For anyone living here, an enthusiasm for angling would be apt, since the property comes complete with fishing rights, but you don’t have to be a fisherman to appreciate how idyllic it is – wisteria climbing up the façade will bring a burst of colour to the Cotswold stone come spring. Inside, exposed beams, stone floors and vaulted ceilings create a homely feel, and in the kitchen a gas-fired AGA and walk-in larder will make cooking a joy. Any aspiring entrepreneur will appreciate the annexe linked to the main house, which has planning permission for commercial use and has previously been used as an antiques shop and florist.
