When we first saw this Cotswold cottage, we fell in love. As pretty as a picture and filled with subtle hints of rustic charm while still maintaining its modern appeal, there’s much to love about it. With wooden beams adding a dash of country charm and private gardens blooming with wild magnolia in grounds that house an adjoining manor, this is the type of place where you’ll cosy up by the fire with some hot cocoa after a day of enjoying woodland walks and cobblestone towns.
