Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Get away from it all and completely relax at this beautiful home in the grounds of a 19th century Cotswold stone house. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a base to explore the charming Cotswolds with a friend, or a retreat to get over your writers' block, this home offers that all-too-rare of modern luxuries, peace and quiet. Step inside and discover a sunny interior where you can while away your days enjoying a slow pace of life. Start your days sipping coffee as you look out over the garden from the glass-topped coffee table or take a seat on the inviting veranda with no one but songbirds for company. Stretch out on the lavish sofas with a good book, or explore the grounds, where you'll likely run into the friendly resident dogs and discover pigs snuffling in their pen. When culinary inspiration strikes, the dacha's well-equipped kitchen has everything, you might need. And if you don't feel like cooking, there's a lovely local pub a two-minute walk from your front door and plenty of alternative options within a two-to-twenty-minute drive. The dacha is ideally placed to explore the local area, with the awe-inspiring Blenheim Palace and the dreaming spires of Oxford a little over fifteen miles away. Elsewhere, charming Cotswold villages, such as Bibury and Bourton-on-the-Water, are approximately twenty minutes by car.
