Inside
The ground floor centres around a large open-plan kitchen and sitting room laid with traditional flagstone floors. Comfortable sofas gather around an open fireplace, creating a warm and sociable space for evenings in. The oak kitchen is fully equipped, featuring a four-door electric AGA, an additional built-in double oven and ample preparation space. A breakfast table sits beside French doors that open directly onto the terrace and garden, making indoor–outdoor living effortless in warmer months. Upstairs are three bedrooms: a double bedroom with en-suite shower room, a twin bedroom with its own en-suite, and a second twin room served by a family bathroom with both bath and shower. The rooms are styled simply with soft linens and natural tones. A basement playroom and family room provides additional living space, complete with large flat-screen TV (Wi-Fi and FreeSat), sofas and games — an ideal retreat for children or relaxed film nights.

Guests also enjoy access to the wider landscaped grounds shared by the Kingham Cottages, dotted with sculptures and quiet seating areas.
