A choice of inviting lounges awaits, each curated with its own mood and palette. In one, decorative tapestries, bronze sculptures and collected objets d’art infuse the room with character, while classic English roll-arm sofas surround the fireplace. In another, deep leather armchairs invite you to sink in for a film night or an unhurried afternoon with a page-turner – selected from the bookshelves that frame the television.
Quintessential countryside charm. This five-bedroom restored Cotswolds farmhouse for rent is a masterclass in heritage detail and modern comfort.

The living spaces
Kitchen & dining
Between timber beams and terracotta stone floors, the open-plan kitchen and breakfast room feels warm, tactile and convivial. A marble-topped island anchors the space, framed by blue cabinetry and vibrant wall art. The Aga, nestled under an arched wooden lintel, keeps things cosy year-round – a timeless emblem of English countryside lifestyle.
Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the breakfast table in sunlight. In warmer months, throw open the glass doors to connect the indoors with the terrace, where a wooden veranda shelters an al fresco dining set. In the formal dining room meanwhile, deep red walls, heirloom oil portraits and crisp panelling set a tone of grandeur. The polished wood table shines in the soft light filtering through the lattice windows, while heavy curtains lend intimacy as evening falls.
Bedrooms & bathrooms
Each of the five king-sized bedrooms evokes storybook charm, finished with intricate woodwork, antique furnishings and a mix of four-poster and cast-iron beds. Tapestries and period details weave a narrative of comfort and timelessness. Three bedrooms feature en suites, where vaulted ceilings and exposed beams lend rustic tranquillity. Freestanding bathtubs, marble-topped vanities and walk-in showers complete these serene retreats.
Outdoor space
Wellbrook Farm remains cocooned in privacy, enclosed by high hedgerows and mature trees. In one of the pristine lawns, sculpted topiary and classical statuary afford a sense of quiet order. In another lawn, there’s a stone patio set beneath a timber veranda – an idyllic spot for al fresco dining.
The Annexe
Also included, this one-bedroom bolthole is perfect for larger parties and guests seeking more privacy. A renovated farm building, it offers soaring vaulted ceilings and exposed brickwork, softened with contemporary furnishings and artwork.

The neighbourhood
Despite its tranquil seclusion, Wellbrook Farm has fantastic proximity to some of the Cotswold’s most charming offerings. Stow-on-the-Wold is a five-minute drive away, a town famed for its antiques shops and cosy tearooms. Tolkien fans will appreciate the north porch of St. Edward’s Church, which served as inspiration for the Doors of Durin. Venture further and you’re in Bourton-on-the-Water – known as the Venice of the Cotswolds – with its five wide bridges. Also a few minutes’ drive away, Daylesford’s organic shop, farm-to-fork restaurant and Bamford Spa. Or leave the car behind to take a walk through the bridleways towards the village of Lower Oddington, making a pitstop at The Fox, a beautifully refurbished 19th-century inn serving seasonal gastropub fare. For more fine dining, head into Cheltenham for Le Champignon Sauvage, Prithvi and Lumière.
