Accommodation Details
Combining original 18th Century features and 21st Century comfort, this property offers a large, high ceilinged drawing room with a large woodburning stove which can be lit morning, noon and night in chillier times. A snug with flatscreen television, DVD player and Sony sound system is an informal, more relaxed space in which to relax.
For those who go nowhere without their laptop, wifi internet access is available throughout the house.
Each of the bedrooms features mattresses of the utmost quality and comfort, luxurious Hungarian goosedown duvets and beautiful fresh, fine white linen.
The Master bedroom has a super king sized bed and en-suite power shower. The other two bedrooms have king sized beds.
From the rooftop window of the Orchard bedroom you can gaze at the gallops and the surrounding countryside. Orchard bedroom and Gallop bedroom share a pretty bathroom with rolltop bath. Lovely fluffy towels, hairdryers and Branche d’Olive fragrances and bath lotions add to a sense of luxury.
With its pale blue AGA, electric hob, electric oven/microwave and huge American-style fridge/freezer, the kitchen is a joy to live and work in. Facing due South, it is equipped with every gadget and size of pot and pan, together with top quality kitchen knives and utensils.
Outside Facilities
In summer, the half acre garden, which is the subject of an ongoing programme of planting and improvement, provides a gorgeous spot for relaxing in the sun, barbecuing on a beautiful evening or a game of unpredictable croquet!
The garden is furnished with a teak dining table with matching chairs and bench to sit up to 8-10 people.
There is a car parking area which takes up to four cars. |
Services
The property will normally be cleaned once a week, but arrangements can be made for a more frequent service if required. Linen and towels will be replaced once a week.
Local Area
There is an interesting range of shopping experiences within a five mile radius, from Daylesford Organics just a mile away, to the joys of the local supermarkets. In between, organic free range eggs can be found just a couple of miles away and an increasing number of specialist farmshops and butchers.
Virtually equidistant from the dreaming spires of Oxford, the Regency spa town of Cheltenham, the Roman antiquities of Cirencester and the rich Shakespearean heritage of Stratford upon Avon, Adlestrop is beautifully located to explore not simply the treasures of such local towns and cities but also the breathtaking Cotswold countryside, scattered as it is with beautiful houses, castles and gardens.
If walking is more your thing, the Cotswold and MacMillan Ways offer access to outings of any and every duration with the countryside of Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire, quite literally on your doorstep.
A peaceful rural village, Adlestrop numbers no more than 80 residents, boasts its own beautiful church dating back to the 13th century and numbers Jane Austen as a former visitor to the rectory, now Adlestrop House, where her uncle had a living. It is believed that Austen used Adlestrop as a model for at least one location in her novel 'Mansfield Park'.
Adlestrop also boasts its very own horse racing yard and the horses can be seen and heard being ridden through the village.
Explore the beautiful countryside and even watch the racehorses exercising on the gallops.
