Rose & Lavender

With honey-hued stone and white roses creeping around Tudor-esque windows, this home is the epitome of a Cotswolds cottage. Though the term ‘cottage’ may be a little misleading. Stepping into the house you’re greeted with columns, oil paintings and gilded mirrors in spacious rooms. A wood-burning stove in the living room, flagstone floors and timber eaves keep things feeling rustic and homely. We love the big, bright dining area just off the kitchen, with a curated mishmash of chairs overlooking the cottage garden. The kitchen itself radiates country-chic vibes with a range-style cooker in the old fireplace and a quartz-topped island in the centre. Exploring the maze of rooms you’ll find a gym, games room, and toys and books for kids in the attic rooms. Outside, there’s plenty of space for kids to run around on the lawn and the lavender-dappled flowerbeds provide a heady floral scent to outdoor dining. In the heart of idyllic Little Barrington, there’s a country pub within walking distance, and the market town of Burford is three miles away – a pleasant, hour-long walk down country lanes.
