The Old Rectory

Georgian grandeur in two acres of walled gardens

Set at the end of a quiet lane in the heart of the Cotswolds, The Old Rectory is one of those rare houses that feels both grand and genuinely welcoming. The original Georgian bones — high ceilings, sash windows, stone-flagged floors — have been carefully preserved and paired with interiors that are quietly luxurious without ever feeling contrived. The kitchen is the heart of the house: a vast, light-filled room with a long oak table, an Aga, and every piece of equipment a serious cook could want. Beyond it, a drawing room with an open fire, a snug, a games room, and five beautifully dressed bedrooms — each with its own character, all with exceptional beds and linen. Outside, two acres of walled gardens unfold in every direction: a heated pool, a kitchen garden, a croquet lawn, and enough space to feel entirely alone.
