The Property

The Rickyard is an exceptional family home, ideally located for all the high end amenities the Cotswolds boast, but tucked away enough to be private and tranquil.

This is supplemented with a further two bedroom cottage, and an en-suite guest room over the garage providing further accommodation. Either of these could also allow staff their own accommodation if required.

The Grounds

Totalling over 1.5 acres, the grounds are adjacent to many acres of farmland. They offer a mixture of meadows and more formal gardens and provide many spaces to soak up the peace and quiet and enjoy being close to nature. You'll find a football net, a games room with table tennis, darts and pinball, as well as an outdoor heated swimming pool with comfortable sun loungers. This spectacular setting of entertainment is overlooked by an outdoor dining space, with cosy sofas and a large table underneath a wooden pergola which is absolutely perfect for BBQs. There is also a sheltered picnic area with superb views situated at the bottom of the paddock.
