Tucked into the attic of the 18th-century town hall on Brackley's market square, this apartment is as characterful as it gets – ancient timber beams arch overhead, rooftop views stretch out to the countryside, and a freestanding roll-top bath sits at the heart of the living space for an evening soak beneath the eaves. The building itself has been beautifully restored, and a cafe and wine bar on the ground floor means a morning coffee or a nightcap is never more than a flight of stairs away.

Home truths

  • Getting to the apartment involves taking the lift to the first floor, then climbing a staircase to the third floor. The steps are steep and narrow in places, so this home isn't ideal if you have limited mobility.

  • This is a studio apartment, so you'll be living and sleeping in one space.

  • At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.

  • The ceiling in some areas is on the low side. It might not be suitable for taller guests.

  • Your dedicated parking space is around 220 yards from the apartment – a short walk, but worth knowing if you're arriving with heavy luggage.

  • Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
