Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re seeking an escape back to nature, this home has you covered. Set on a working farm, you’re surrounded by rolling countryside – it’s the perfect place to switch off and leave the hustle and bustle of daily life behind. The traditional interiors may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and as a party of eight, two people will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room, but in a location where you can enjoy local produce grown on the land, it’s worth it. Locally, you’ll find Cheltenham, Bourton-on-the-Water, Cotswold Farm Park and Chedworth Roman Villa just waiting to be explored.
