The cottage reminds me of my grandma’s house – I know she would have loved it,’ says Rachel Southern of her Cotswolds bolthole, an idyllic property that dates from the mid 1600s. Originally a barn adjoining the next door farmhouse, it was later converted into two simple ‘one up one down’ cottages, then in the early 1900s it was knocked through to create one cottage.
Rachel describes it as ‘a pandemic buy’. Having bought it in February 2021, building work started in March and the interior was completed by September. ‘Our main home is in London but we wanted somewhere closer to family that we could all enjoy, but also generate some income by renting it out. Lockdown gave me the time and space to do it.’
