NCE settled in the Cotswolds, countryhome owners rarely think of selling unless compelled to do so by one of the ‘four Ds’ that keep rural estate agents in business—death, debt, divorce and down sizing. That premise is supported by the years of ownership clocked-up by the vendors of some of the most appealing country prop erties currently for sale on the open market within the Cotswolds AONB.

The village of Long Compton stands on the borders of three counties—Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Warwickshire—about five miles from Chipping Norton, and is large enough to support a store, pub and primary school. Peregrine House comes with an attached two-bedroom cottage, which has been run as a holiday let by the current owners—although it could easily be used for a relative or as further guest accommodation, points out Simon Merton of Strutt & Parker.

Gable Cottage has two bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as a small, enclosed garden laid to gravel and a terrace that’s ideal for eating outside during the summer months. It lies within walking distance of the village pub and the community-owned shop, which has a café and specialises in organic produce. This aspect makes Longborough stand out as a village, according to the selling agents, who call it ‘one of the very few villages in the locality that has the full complement of community establishments’.

Four-bedroom Garden Cottage stands in a quiet position on the edge of the village within the grounds of Filkins Hall. It has a private, south-facing garden and the owners can also use the hall’s extensive grounds and communal tennis court (for an annual maintenance fee). The vendors have updated the entire house, which has a guest room accessible via a separate staircase.

Marbrook Cottage is a threebedroom stone-built terraced house in the village of Willersey, which lies between Broadway and Chipping Campden. Set down a no-through lane in the lee of a church, it’s deceptively spacious with a goodsized reception hall and two sitting rooms (one leading into the other), as well as a large study that would work well as a home office. The kitchen is a later addition and opens out to the garden, which boasts a traditional walled area and lots of well-stocked borders. ‘The garden provides a delightful outlook to St Peter’s Church and beyond, over traditional ridge-and-furrow permanent pasture along the Cotswold escarpment,’ say selling agents.
