About
Carter’s Close is a distinctive English country house set quietly within the well-known village of Bibury. The house has a gentle, lived-in charm, with its defining longhouse layout: a single flowing space that brings together a cook’s kitchen, sitting room, dining room, and drawing room, anchored by two open fires. There is also a separate study. The setting is peaceful, private, and ideal for relaxed stays with family or friends.
Inside
The interiors are warm and characterful, shaped by a mix of original features and contemporary art. The long, open-plan living area creates an easy rhythm to the house, with room for cooking, gathering, and quiet time. Dogs are welcome by arrangement. For security, discreet external CCTV is in place but only reviewed in the event of an issue.
Outside
The gardens are one of Carter’s Close’s greatest features: a mix of lawn, woodland, wildflower areas, winding paths, and an eclectic sculpture collection. The grounds lead — through a gated entrance — to the banks of the River Coln. There is a tennis court, and plenty of space to explore or simply sit and take in the setting.

Cotswolds
The Cotswolds is one of England’s most picturesque regions, celebrated for its honey-stone villages, rolling hills, and timeless charm. Spanning several counties, it’s an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty where winding lanes lead to historic market towns, ancient churches, and cosy country pubs.
From elegant towns like Stow-on-the-Wold and Burford to the peaceful meadows around Chipping Campden and Broadway, the Cotswolds offers a perfect mix of heritage and tranquillity. Days can be spent exploring stately homes, wandering through flower-filled gardens, or walking the scenic Cotswold Way.
Local life moves at a gentler pace here, shaped by centuries of craftsmanship, agriculture, and tradition. Visitors can browse independent boutiques, sample seasonal produce at farm shops, or join local festivals that celebrate everything from food to music and the arts. Whether you’re enjoying a lazy afternoon tea, cycling between hilltop villages, or visiting renowned landmarks like Blenheim Palace, the Cotswolds promises an authentic and memorable taste of the English countryside.
