Sweet Pea & Honeysuckle

Sweet Pea & Honeysuckle: Oxfordshire

On the edge of the sleepy Churchill village, this classic Cotswold cottage is in a prime position for long walks through open fields and relaxed afternoons at the pub, just 400 yards from your doorstep. The home has that signature country house creaminess, with muted tones and exposed honey-hued stone. The delightful back garden has a patio, complete with dining table and barbecue. Enjoy lively dinners outside in the summertime with local produce from the farm shops in Chipping Norton, only a five-minute drive away. The lawn chairs are the perfect spot to soak up the sunshine, listening only to the distant hum of lawnmowers and sweet bird song. After rambling through meadows and along lesser-travelled lanes, kick off your wellies, flick the kettle on and cosy up with a strong cup of tea in the inviting living room – a starter supply of wood is provided for the open fire, ideal for keeping things toasty if the wind should blow a gale.
