The Little Cottage Kingham
The Little Cottage is a one-bedroom thatched cottage on the green at Kingham, built and furnished for two adults and nobody else. Honey-coloured stone and low beams sit behind a front garden of wildflowers, verbena and lavender, in one of the village's quieter corners.
The interiors are a collector's rather than a decorator's: years in film, travel abroad and a long habit of buying antiques, assembled over time instead of styled in one go. Materials and craftsmanship are local and deliberate throughout, chosen to work with the building's age rather than cover it.
What makes it special
Designed for two
A one-bedroom cottage built and furnished for two adults, with a king-size bed on a Vispring mattress and organic linen.
A hand-built oak kitchen
Barn-sawn oak, an electric AGA, a Nespresso machine and a separate utility room, under a vaulted open-plan ceiling.
A log burner and deep linen sofas
The low-beamed sitting room is designed to slow you down, with Netflix and SONOS when you want them.
Wildsmith, Waterworks, rice-weave towels
A large marble-tiled shower room, then a separate bathroom and dressing room, all properly fitted out.
A terrace on the village green
Breakfast, evening drinks or dinner for two looking over the green, with private gated parking for one car behind.
Two dining pubs within five minutes
The Wild Rabbit and The Kingham Plough are both a short walk, and the farm shop is thirty minutes across the fields.

Outside
A private terrace looks out over the green, which is where breakfast, evening drinks and dinner for two tend to happen. Private gated parking on the gravel drive takes one car, an SUV included.
A welcome hamper is left for you on arrival: sourdough, eggs, milk, butter and a bottle of sparkling rosé from the farm shop down the road.
Inside
The original front door opens straight into a vaulted, open-plan kitchen and dining room, with a hand-built barn-sawn oak kitchen at its centre. There is an electric AGA, a Nespresso machine, a dishwasher, underfloor heating, and a separate utility room with a washer-dryer.
Next door the sitting room is low-beamed and deliberately dim, with deep linen sofas, a log burner and Netflix. Upstairs the bedroom holds a king-size bed on a Vispring mattress dressed in organic linen. A large marble-tiled shower room sits beside it, and beyond that a separate bathroom and dressing room, both fitted with Waterworks taps and showers and stocked with Wildsmith products, rice-weave towels and light dressing gowns.
