17th-Century Cotswold Cottage with South-Facing Orchard.
Escape to our charming 17th-century Cotswold Cottage nestled in the serene Cherwell Valley — the perfect setting for countryside walks and peaceful canal-side escapes.
This beautifully restored retreat features two super-king bedrooms, blending historic character with modern comfort. Wake to birdsong, enjoy a slow breakfast in the cosy kitchen, and step out into your south-facing apple and cherry orchard, surrounded by nature.
After a day exploring, unwind by the fireplace or gather around the fire pit in the dappled, south-facing walled orchard garden, overlooking a protected conservation area and framed by cherry and apple trees.
With off-street parking for two cars and a tranquil setting, the cottage offers an idyllic, private hideaway — a perfect spot to relax and reconnect.
