Facing the green in a quintessential Cotswold village, this five-bedroom country house to rent wraps 17th-century bones in bold, collected charm.

There’s a room here to cater to every crowd and mood. The snug is the one for cosy evenings in – deep navy bookshelves lined with well-thumbed spines, comfortable sofas and an open stone fire ready to crackle away. Across the house, the drawing room offers a spacious setting to congregate. Settle into the velvet sofas, practice the classics on the upright piano or open the French doors to head out to the garden.

The kitchen is a country classic turned contemporary. Navy Shaker cabinetry runs beneath swathes of veined marble, while a great marble island anchors the room. An Aga throws out warmth, a breakfast table seats four and glass doors open to the terraces beyond. Elsewhere, a separate dining room is suited to more sociable occasions. Wrapped wall to wall in a scenic landscape mural, it’s an atmospheric backdrop that caters to 10.

Each of the five bedrooms has its own character and palette. The principal room takes a restrained approach with neutral tones and bespoke fitted wardrobes, benefitting from an en suite bathroom with a spacious shower and rolltop tub. Elsewhere, the mood shifts room to room: from nature-inspired styling to cushioned window seats overlooking the setting. Two of the rooms also interconnect, ideal for young families.

Behind the house, an enclosed walled garden extends living outdoors. With a south-facing aspect and sun throughout the day, a broad stone terrace is set up for all occasions: a long dining table, a corner sofa and a BBQ for summer months. There’s a wide stretch of green for games, and a second, smaller patio that leads by stepping stones to a hot tub.
