Quintessential countryside charm. This five-bedroom restored Cotswolds farmhouse for rent is a masterclass in heritage detail and modern comfort.

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.

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.
