Wax Lyrical: Oxfordshire

This stylish Oxfordshire Cotswolds barn conversion sits on the edge of the endless, whisper-quiet Chimney Meadows Nature Reserve. The interiors are a harmonious blend of original features and modern styling—particularly in the living space. You’ll find sleek kitchen appliances beneath restored ceiling beams and a rustic exposed stone fireplace in front of contemporary furnishings. While open and well set up for entertaining, the arrangement of the seating area feels intimate and cosy—especially when the wood-burning fire is lit. Outside, there’s a secluded patio with dining set for cream teas or barbecues in the sunshine. Nearby, big and little kids alike will be thrilled with the tree swing, while a chair beneath the Ash canopy calls for stolen moments alone with your favourite paperback and a milky cup of tea. Your home is surrounded by gentle walking trails through the rolling countryside and along the River Thames. Plus, it’s a seven-minute drive to a traditional inn serving refreshing pints and hearty pub grub.

*A car is essential here due to the home’s remote location
