Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
From the exposed stone to the antique furnishings, this Cotswold cottage in the heart of Charlbury is teeming with character. The open fire keeps things cosy on blustery days, but when the sun’s shining, the private courtyard garden complete with barbecue is the ideal spot to enjoy the fresh air. If you fancy stretching your legs, we recommend following the 5 mile Finstock and Evenlode loop, then treat yourself to a well-deserved tipple and a slap-up dinner at The Bell pub, conveniently located next door.
