On a farmstead on the edge of the quaint village of Leonard Stanley, this home is the ideal spot to take in the singular beauty that is the English countryside. Upon entering, you’ll be greeted by rustic beams crossing the ceilings, wide wooden floors and timber furnishings throughout – and upstairs, the master bedroom boasts a shower nook at the end of the room while the second bedroom features a super king bed that can be split into two singles. Outside, you’ll have access to your own private courtyard, complete with outdoor seating, a barbecue and a hot tub. But the real winner here is the setting – the picturesque rural landscape is always captivating, and will keep you wanting to venture out even in the cooler months.
