House of Grain

There are parts of this expansive Grade-II listed home in the village of Long Hanborough that date back 900 years. There are others, however, that are more recent additions, especially in the two acres of grounds and various outbuildings that surround it. The large outdoor heated swimming pool is one of those, as is the adjacent hot tub and spa complex that includes a sauna and a steam room. The same can be said of the gym and games room, home to tables for ping pong and snooker. Elsewhere in the house, you'll find a record player and board games to try next to the warmth of the log burner, as well as a huge kitchen with an equally large skylight above it bathing the space in natural light. The Cotswolds AONB starts mere metres away, so there's no shortage of walking routes with which to fill warm afternoons. There are historic attractions aplenty nearby too, including Blenheim Palace eleven minutes' drive away.
