The Country Set

Get close to nature at this sprawling country farmhouse fringing the ancient village of Shipton Moyne in Gloucestershire. Set within thirty acres of pasture and woodlands fronted by a glistening lake, there's much exploring to do. And kids will love you for that newly-refurbished pool house. Inside, there's a more-is-more opulence to its timeless interiors that may not appeal to you minimalists out there – but those open fires and rolltop baths will soon win you over. Fancy a change of scene? Shipton Moyne's local pub is just a stroll away for hearty grub. Or jump in the complementary convertible Jeep and take in a match at Beaufort Polo Club (just a two-minute drive away) – you'll be in good company.

Home truths:
*The estate has multiple holiday lets which share the drive. These nearby homes do not overlook the gardens.
*There are plenty of stairs
*A dedicated housekeeping service is included, in addition to use of a convertible Jeep (driver must have comprehensive insurance)
*While not all the bathrooms and swimming pool are photographed, we expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home
*The swimming pool isn’t fenced, and there is a lake within the grounds of the home, so children will need to be supervised at all times
*Your local village, Shipton Moyne, has a pub and a small shop to pick up essentials
