This enchanting holiday home sits in the heart of historic Burford, just moments from the bustling high street. Dating back 400 years, Farthingdales was once two houses and is today one exquisite retreat which has been elegantly finished with two gorgeous bedrooms, a wood burning stove and a hidden garden. The medieval bridge crossing the River Windrush is a stone’s throw away and the atmospheric church sits at the end of the lane. Staying here you are perfectly situated for exploring the Cotswolds, from Blenheim and Oxford to Cheltenham and Stow-on-the-Wold.
Full Description
Forever captured by L S Lowry in his Burford Church painting, Farthingdales is built from the region’s distinctive honey-coloured Cotswold stone. This charming cottage sits in one of the most historic parts of Burford just away from the visiting crowds alongside the impressive St John’s Church. From your doorstep you can follow walks along the River Windrush discovering the picturesque area of the Cotswolds.

Great style and flair has made Farthingdales the stunning home it is today. While keeping its history intact the ground floor has been opened to create a spacious open plan living area with a superb inglenook fireplace and woodburning stove. Feel the original flagstone flooring beneath with exposed beams above. Touches of character are added with William Morris fabrics and playful accessories, spot the squirrel in the kitchen.

Hidden behind the cottage is a pretty garden with planted borders and a delightful summer house. A dining table lets you take your meals here and there are loungers letting you relish the warmth of the sun. When the sun lasts long into the evening, have a drink here with your guests and enjoy the church view.

Ground Floor


Entrance Hall:
Step in from Lawrence Lane through the front door, with its bright and colourful Art Deco glass panel, into the stunning open-plan kitchen-living-dining space, featuring the original flagstone floor, exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces with harmonising clay-coloured walls entwined with modern luxury.

Kitchen/Dining Area:
Immediately in front of you is the kitchen’s white, quartz-topped breakfast bar with two stylish bar stools and a unique and quirky squirrel climbing down the light flex! To the right side of the breakfast bar, in front of an original stone inglenook, is a beautiful, solid oak dining table with comfy seating for all. Alongside the table there’s a drinks station with a Nespresso machine, and a microwave above kitchen cabinets housing a fridge, freezer and washing machine.

The kitchen’s breakfast bar leads around to a fully equipped cooking and preparation area, with an oven and hob, dishwasher, wine fridge and Thomas Denby stone sink. A back door, with another colourful Art Deco glass panel, opens to the patio and garden.

Living Area:
This beautiful living area is at once stylish and cosy. It features a wood burning stove within an original inglenook fireplace, with a custom-built brass and leather fender – the perfect spot to sit and warm up on a cold winter’s night. To one side of the fireplace is a wing-back armchair and to the other a Smart TV, while a reproduction chest acts as a coffee table and store for board games. In the far corner there’s a charming, cushioned window seat – once the doorway of one of the original cottages - with books and a reading lamp. Two comfy sofas, on a woven jute rug, provide plenty of space for relaxing in front of the fire while watching the TV or reading. At the foot of the stairs is a custom-built oak hall bureau with a lamp, mirror and pretty leaf dish – the ideal place to keep keys and phones.

Bathroom:
Double, paned doors open from the dining area end of the cottage into a light and bright family bathroom, which features a full-size bath with central taps and a shower above with a rain effect shower head and hand-held shower. In addition, there is a vanity unit with a large wash basin with a touch light mirror and a shaver point to one side, a toilet, and a heated towel rail. A three-pane window (with a blind) overlooks the side courtyard. (The bathrooms doors are lockable and have tapestry curtains. These can be hung on the dining area wall to allow light through when the doors are closed, and the bathroom is not in use, or can be hooked onto the doors for privacy when using the bathroom.)

Boot Room:
Continuing through the bathroom, guests will find a handy boot room with hooks to hang coats, plenty of space to keep boots and shoes, and a butler’s sink. A delightful window seat with beautiful cushions and curtains provides the perfect spot to get ready for the outdoors or simply sit and contemplate the day ahead or the day just enjoyed. A tall cupboard houses the iron, ironing board while the vacuum is under the lift-up seat. A door leads out to garden.

First Floor


A carpeted staircase with a handrail leads up to the landing where there is a beautiful light hanging over the stairs and the famous L.S. Lowry print of Lawrence Lane on the wall.

Bedroom One:
This gorgeous bedroom has a strikingly tall ceiling and features a super king-size bed, with bedside tables and reading lamps, set against a custom-built, extra tall bedhead with William Morris fabric panels; so synonymous of the Arts and Crafts movement of the 1800s that was so strong in this area. The bedroom is also furnished with a wardrobe, chest of drawers-cum-dressing table with a large mirror above and a reclining armchair and has bedside sockets with USB points. It has a low, triple-pane window framed by sumptuous, lined curtains and a window seat where you can sit and watch the quiet life of Lawrence Lane going by below.

Bedroom Two:
The pale-mint walls, burnt orange velvet bedheads and antique, mahogany furniture give Farthingdales’ twin bedroom a richly Victorian feel. The bedroom is furnished with two single beds (2’6”), with a bedside table and two lamps (and bedside sockets with USB points), an antique dressing table with drawers and an antique wardrobe with plenty of hanging space. This bedroom also has a low, triple pane window with a window seat and beautiful, lined curtains framing this retreat within a retreat.

Family Shower Room:
The compact but fully fitted shower room features a walk-in shower with a detachable shower head and three safety handles, a washbasin with a large mirror with a touch light and LED/Bluetooth speaker, a toilet, a vanity unit with two shaver points and a heated towel rail. Look out for the gorgeous, hare robe hooks on the back of the door.

Outside


The cottage has a charming, east-west orientated garden, making it a fabulous suntrap on sunny days, which is accessed through the rear door off the kitchen or through the boot room. Cross the little gravel path and head through the gate marked with a number ‘3’ and into the patio area (where you’ll also see the outside of what was once an ancient saddlery), and then to a lawn surrounded by mature borders with a summer room at the far end. Take a seat on the garden bench and enjoy the sound of the famous church bells, eat al fresco on the patio or enjoy the outdoors, protected from the elements, wrapped up in one of the garden blankets or inside the garden room.

Lovely cottage with a great kitchen, lounge and dining set up for a weekend stay. The house was very clean and the bedding and mattresses were extremely comfortable. The location was very good and close to other areas in the Cotswolds.

Farthingdales is in an ideal location, near the beautiful church and just off the bustling main street with shops, cafes and pubs a plenty.The property is ideal in every way, couldn't fault it and would definitely go back. We had such a great time. We went to other Cotswold villages, but were glad we chose to stay in Burford. Everybody was friendly too and great food with lots of choice. So full of history and don't forget to wander down the side roads.
