Quiet country lanes lead from Moreton-in-Marsh to Marsh Farm, a six-bedroom farmhouse set within 12 acres, with an outdoor pool, tennis court and cricket pitch.

Behind its ivy-covered exterior, the house opens into a series of generous, characterful spaces where old materials have been brought back to life. Flagstone floors and exposed beams lend warmth and texture, while neutral tones and pared-back design keep the mood calm.

The footprint is made for a full house. A dual-aspect study sits in a leafy corner, complete with a wall-to-wall desk, large L-shaped sofa and widescreen TV for film nights. Elsewhere, a separate snug opens through Crittall-style doors to the terrace, with another sprawling sofa and a wood burner for cooler evenings.

In the former barn, the wine tasting room brings a different kind of drama. A monumental fireplace rises towards the vaulted ceiling, while deep seating invites everyone to settle in as the sun sets.

The kitchen strikes a balance between country comfort and contemporary craft. Time-worn features nod to the farmhouse setting, while stone worktops, handmade Zellige tiles and clean-lined oak give the space a more modern edge.

A monolithic island anchors the room, joined by a double Aga and a separate entertaining counter with a double wine fridge and direct access outside. Just behind, a raised feature fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere – a natural gathering point before dinner, after a swim or on a slow winter morning.

Marsh Farm has plenty to occupy every pace of guest. There’s a tennis court with a ball machine, a cricket pitch with bowling machine, a golf and a Formula One simulator. Bikes can be stored on site for exploring the surrounding lanes and countryside.

The former stables have also been transformed into a gym and games space, complete with table tennis, darts, a changing area and a small kitchen – giving the more active side of the house its own dedicated clubhouse setting, somewhere to drift between a game, a workout or an evening drink.
