Ian
How long have you owned the property?
We have owned the house for six years, and our first guests arrived during Christmas 2018. We managed to redecorate and prepare the house within just a few months—a hectic but incredibly fun experience!
What was it about the property that you first fell in love with?
Definitely the amount of natural light that benefits the living spaces. Definitely the abundance of natural light that fills the living spaces. The back of the house features ceiling-high French windows overlooking the garden and swimming pool. There's a great flow from the lounge, kitchen and dining space out to the garden and it's always bright. Even in the winter months there's a touch of summer in the house!
Do you have a favourite room in the property?
The primary bedroom is always a treat to stay in. With a freestanding bath right in the room, it offers the perfect touch of luxury - getting out of bed and straight into your own bath without leaving the room, bliss!
For anyone coming to stay, is there anything in the surrounding area they should...
- Really do? A visit to Cheltenham Races is a must if it’s on during your stay. It’s only about 30 minutes away by taxi and makes for an unforgettable day out.
- Really eat? The Wild Rabbit in Kingham is a place for foodies. There is loads of organic produce on the menu and a beautiful, high-end setting for special occasions.
- Really see? Blenheim Palace in Woodstock is an absolute must-see. Once the family home of Winston Churchill, this breathtaking building is steeped in history. Spend the day exploring its stunning landscaped grounds, and don’t miss Woodstock itself, with its charming pubs and restaurants. If your timing’s right, you could even catch one of Blenheim’s Proms or Christmas events!
What insider tip would you pass on about the property or the area?
At the far end of Kingham village, there’s a track that leads all the way to Daylesford Farm Shop and Bamford Spa. Here, you’ll find a café, restaurant, food shop, plants, homeware, and, of course, a luxurious spa! It’s about a 30-minute walk, and if you’re feeling adventurous, you can extend your journey with a loop through the picturesque villages of Oddington and Bledington (both with charming pubs) before returning to Kingham. Plus, if you’re struggling to secure a reservation at any local pubs or restaurants, just let us know—we can often work a little magic to conjure up a table!
