Nestled in the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside, this quirky home is a fantastic retreat for families. The exteriors couldn't be more quaint English cottage – blooming flower beds encircle an original well, where you might just be tempted to make a wish. The private games room is the perfect hangout space for any younger guests, while adults will appreciate the master suite with its luxurious rolltop bath. It's a short walk into the village of Little Coxwell, where you can enjoy a traditional pub lunch and admire chocolate-box thatched cottages. Missing the town life? It's just a thirty-minute drive to Oxford.
