A Cotswold sanctuary

With its own private gated drive down a no-through road, The Coach House, in the delightful north Cotswold village of Bourton-on-the-Hill, is a Georgian haven. Rural, but accessible, you can take a train from the local town of Moreton-in-Marsh to London Paddington in just 90 minutes.

The house itself is brimming with character, with the necessary accoutrements of an Aga and exposed beams providing a classic, warm, country feel. The house enjoys breathtaking views of its own land and the Cotswolds beyond. There is also a brilliant range of schools nearby, including Tudor Hall and Cheltenham Boys and Cheltenham Ladies College.

With a very spacious master bedroom, two further bedrooms, two bathrooms and plenty of entertaining space, joint agents Knight Frank (01789 297735) and Jackson-Stops & Staff (01386 840224) quote a guide price of £1,295,000.
