There's so much character in this old-world home. It's set on a working farm in the heart of the Slad Valley, so expect livestock as neighbours and gorgeous Cotswold views. The house is filled with traditional elements – from the cosy fireplaces and brimming bookshelves (including one that conceals a wine fridge) to the soaker baths overlooking the hills. The most unique feature is the covered cider press in the garden, which doubles as a terrace where you can bask in the scenery and share a local brew. Three dogs are welcome to join you, too – and with the Cotswold Way and other trails on your doorstep, there are plenty of picturesque walks to choose from.
