A rather unique English Country House tucked away, and quite private, in the famous Cotswold village of Bibury.
Carter’s Close is utterly charming with wonderful gardens and tucked away in a quiet corner of the world renown village of Bibury. It has many unique features, the main one being it is a ‘longhouse’ the main living space is one long room comprising cook’s kitchen, sitting room, dining room and a drawing room with two open fires down its length. There is a separate study as well.
The gardens are really delightful and one of the jewels in Carter’s Close’s crown, lawned, wooded, wild flowered and home to an eclectic selection of sculpture which lead down – via a gate – to the River Coln. There is a tennis court and the house does welcome well behaved dogs; subject to conditions. There is external CCTV provided by the owner for your and the property’s protection which is only reviewed in case of issue or complaint.
For those who don’t yet know Bibury William Morris described it as “the most beautiful village in England” Huffington Post name checked Bibury in its “The Most Charming Towns In Europe You’ll Want To Visit ASAP” piece.
And there are pubs and dining spots in walking distance as well as the Bibury Trout Farm.

Local life moves at a gentler pace here, shaped by centuries of craftsmanship, agriculture, and tradition.
