Bentleys is a 17th-century Cotswold stone cottage in the heart of Kingham, combining original beams and flagstones with a striking modern extension. Sleeping six across three bedrooms, it offers a stylish yet relaxed retreat just moments from The Wild Rabbit and The Kingham Plough.
Bentleys blends centuries-old character with thoughtful contemporary design. Dating from the 17th century, the cottage retains its original architectural details while the modern extension introduces light, space and seamless indoor–outdoor flow, creating a home that feels both historic and fresh.
Original beams, flagstone floors and leaded windows set the tone throughout the cottage. The heart of the house is the generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, designed for gathering and conversation. Large doors open directly onto the garden, allowing the space to feel expansive and connected to the outdoors.
The kitchen is well equipped for entertaining, with modern appliances and a dining table that comfortably seats up to ten. The sitting room centres around an impressive inglenook fireplace, offering a cosy setting for evenings by the fire. A curtained study with its own wood burner and double sofa bed can serve as a quiet retreat or optional fourth sleeping space.
Upstairs, three double bedrooms balance Cotswold charm with clean, contemporary finishes. Three bathrooms provide comfort and flexibility for families or groups of friends.
The property benefits from multiple outdoor spaces. A private rear lawn and terrace create a sheltered setting for dining and relaxation, complete with a Cotswold stone pizza oven. The front courtyard adds further character, while croquet, badminton and indoor games offer light-hearted entertainment for all ages.
Bentleys sits in the centre of Kingham, widely regarded as one of the Cotswolds’ most desirable villages. The Wild Rabbit and The Kingham Plough are a short walk away, while Daylesford Organic Farm and Soho Farmhouse are nearby. Kingham Station provides direct trains to London Paddington in approximately 90 minutes, making it an easily accessible countryside escape.
