Hidden on a quiet lane in Chipping Norton, this classy cottage exudes sophistication and country living. While the living room is comfortable with an open fire, the kitchen-diner is arguably the social hub of the house, with a large wooden dining table perfect for gathering friends and family around. The home's two double bedrooms are on the first floor – as is the main bathroom with freestanding bath – but you'll need to be careful ascending and descending the narrow wooden staircase. You'll also have access to the terrace and landscaped garden, with an additional seating area across the grass in a private nook. Chipping Norton is full of charm, while Stow-on-the-Wold is a fifteen minute drive away.
