With its ancient honey-coloured stone walls, low ceilings and period charm, this thatched cottage is a quintessential country retreat for its owner. She bought the one-bedroom Grade II listed Cotswold property as a weekend escape for herself, and also to rent out to others seduced by its chocolate-box charms.
The cottage is set in a slight valley with incredible countryside views stretching for miles. 'I love the slower pace of life here and the peace and quiet, with no light or noise pollution – the stars seem to shine brighter each visit,' its owner says. 'I love being surrounded by nature and the sound of the ringing village church bells.'
