The town of Northleach is an ancient area of The Cotswolds, having existed since around 780 AD. As it’s right in the middle of a recognised ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, you won’t be short of glorious hikes while staying in this part of the country. From this huge Grade II listed house, built in 1633, you can stroll twelve minutes to the local pub, or eight minutes in the other direction to the annual Steam and Vintage Show. And this traditional, English, country lifestyle continues in the home itself. Step through the 17th-century front door and onto the polished, Cotswold limestone flooring. Get someone to play a jaunty tune on the upright piano as a soundtrack to exploring the home. The decor marries rustic and modern in an incredibly elegant way. Fresh, white walls and glass-topped tables sit alongside colourful artwork and trinkets. In contrast, we love every original element of this historic abode, with chunky timber beams, inglenooks, a wood-burning stove, and its half-acre, walled sculpture garden. Speaking of which, you can spend balmy afternoons picnicking on the bench, barbecuing on the patio, then sitting by the tranquil water features, or beneath the walnut trees.
