Very nice.  I especially like the grounds.  I've been to England but not the Cotswolds.  Such a charming area.

This is very appealing to me...clean, airy, bright, and pretty. 

I like the interior just as much as the exterior.

So liveable.  I love it when they keep the "bones"of ancient cottages like this one--  the quirky ceiling lines, the angles, nooks and windows, etc.   And those venerable beams! 

 

Whoever decorated it was trying for modern accessibility with neutral tones, etc. ,  but the owner could easily personalize it since the framework is good.

 

The Cotswolds are a dream!  I never made it there either, but Devon was exactly as I'd hoped...

The grounds & surrounding countryside are beautiful. I was expecting a more traditional style of furnishings inside. The modern interiors seem out of place to me.
