Nestled along the River Nene, this Grade II listed building offers a tranquil escape in the heart of Oxfordshire. Right on the river bank, this traditional mill house dates all the way back to the 18th century, boasting plenty of English charm thanks to large bay windows and green gardens. Speaking of the garden, this is a lovely spot to enjoy your morning coffee and watch the swans glide along the water. Once you're feeling refreshed and ready to explore, head into the local village to admire the thatched-roof cottages and quaint churches, or take the dog for a walk through the rich woodland of Bernwood Forest. Of course, no trip to Oxfordshire would be complete without a trip to the prestigious Oxford Univeristy – the Botanic Garden in particular makes for a relaxing afternoon. However you choose to pass the time, you'll always have a cosy home to come back to. Summer evenings were made for barbecues on the patio, followed by a glass of wine around the fire pit. When the weather turns chilly, head indoors to cosy up with a cup of cocoa in front of the fireplace, followed by a bubble bath in the beautiful roll-top... tub.

About Northamptonshire
Battleground during the War of the Roses, Northamptonshire has stories pouring out from every nook and cranny. The villages dotting the countryside could still be in Tudor times, where thatch-roof cottages create shambling streets in the likes of Collyweston and Crick. Grander abodes come in the form of estate homes, like Althorp House, Boughton House and Sulgrave Manor, open to the public for tours of opulent rooms and rambles through...
