This fairy tale Cotswold stone farmhouse
is approached up a long and sometimes bumpy private drive. It
leads behind the church and manor house, past Manor Farm and Over
Court cottages, into the heart of the beech woods.
Surrounded by the steep hangers, off a drive, off
a lane, off a minor road, buried in the bosom of the Cotswolds,
here is a hideaway that must be about as remote as you can get
from the twentieth century in southern England, yet with all
the comforts of Owlpen's ever-popular cottages. A farmstead at
Woodwells is recorded in 1280. Today you will find, as if by
chance, in a sunny clearing of the wooded hills which here rise
steeply at the end of the meadows, a picturesque farmhouse built
in 1877.
INTERIOR
Downstairs a porch leads to the front hall, with
an elegant dining-room seating eight to the right and a pretty
Victorian sitting-room to the left. There is a modern farmhouse
kitchen/breakfast room, fully equipped with a microwave, fridge/freezer
and dishwasher. Beyond is a back door and hallway with space for
country clothes, coats and boots. There is a shower room (with
wash basin and lavatory), making the twin-bedded room here independent.
Upstairs are two spacious double bedrooms, both with
double beds (one with a fine Victorian brass bed), and a large
bathroom.
The whole house is especially cosy - with pictures, antiques
and chintz. It is set in a large private garden.
