Willow House
The lovely thing about it was its position, however, situated in the middle of a rural street scene overlooking the church, with views over surrounding open countryside.
Today Willow House presents in luxurious and immaculate order, decorated with a country cottage palette principally of stone and exposed wood, and now provides substantial family accommodation – two formal reception rooms (one currently used as a playroom), a kitchen/ breakfast room, separate utility and study on the ground floor, with four double bedrooms and two bathrooms above. Outside, the house is approached by a gravelled driveway with a garage, spreading lawns wrapping around the house and bordered by a low dry-stone wall, with plenty of room for a vegetable patch and al fresco terrace positioned to catch the best of the sun. What has been the best part of living here? “We have found the house very practical and eminently sociable, able to cope with all the varying demands of family life, blessed with plenty of natural
daylight, making it feel airy and warm.The sitting room is grand enough to host a drinks party and it’s easy for everyone to spill out into the garden in summer. Equally, at Christmas it’s still just a cottage really, especially once the fire is lit and the curtains drawn, cosy and comfortable with the Aga quietly chugging away in the kitchen.Village life is quiet and peaceful, too, with plenty of lovely places to walk, yet all the facilities of Moreton in Marsh and Chipping Norton within easy distance.There’s even a free taxi that ferries the children to the local primary school, Little Acorns. It’s been wonderful.” Willow House Great Wolford is marketed at £750,000 with Fine & Country North Cotswolds, the international country homes department of Harrison James & Hardie.
