Preston Place offers the rare chance to stay in grand country home with sweeping grounds & gardens & all manner of truly exisite features. Set in a quite village (very much The village house) this beautiful period house offers absolutely everything you could wish for. The homely, warm kitchen with AGA greets guests, with snug & TV attached, a huge almost regal dining room & simply magnificent bedrooms make this one of the standout properties on our books. It is, without, question, one of the finest homes we have seen in the Cotswolds. Situated within vast grounds that include an astroturf tennis court, (and heated swimming pool in the summer months) it offers guests a chance to live in a home that has remained in the same family for many years. Available for the first time ever, it is the quintessential country home, located next to the village church, homely, welcoming and unique it is in our opinion it is absolutely perfect for gatherings of 10 to 17 people who want something special that will give long lasting memories for years to come. Without question it is very Cotswolds & terribly English!!
