Oxfordshire, £3.6 million
In Swinbrook, what was once two, is now one, after cottages were combined to create this two-storey Tudor-style family home. With four/six bedrooms, four bathrooms and countless reception rooms (four), this Cotswold-stone home is ideal for entertaining and appreciating the surrounding AONB. Plenty of period features are still on show throughout, such as high ceilings, exposed beams, open fireplaces and delightful cast-iron lattice windows. The beauty of the interiors is matched by the three-quarter-acre gardens, which feature three lawned terraces, a mature orchard, which leads to a summerhouse and weeping-willow walk, and well-stocked beds throughout.
