A boldly designed seven-bedroom retreat in the heart of Chipping Norton, inspired by travels to Morocco, Paris, and LA. A boutique-hotel-style home with a seasonal heated pool, cinema room, hidden bar, gym, sauna, and air conditioning in all main-house bedrooms.
Hanks House is a one-of-a-kind luxury home, shaped by influences from Morocco, Paris, LA, and boutique hotels across the world. Set within Chipping Norton and close to Soho Farmhouse, it offers the feel of a private design-led hotel with all the comforts of a modern country house. The new owners have kept the original creator’s vision, retaining the house’s distinctive style, rich detailing, and indulgent amenities.
The interiors are expressive and full of personality: Parisian touches, Moroccan tiling, warm materials, and thoughtful lighting. Seven double bedrooms include five en-suites, each individually designed and inspired by a favourite destination from the creator’s travels. The house includes a cinema room, a hidden bar, and an outdoor bar for summer evenings. A professional-grade gym, sauna, and massage room add to the boutique-hotel feel. Air-conditioning is installed in all main-house bedrooms.
The garden centres around a seasonal heated swimming pool with a cold outdoor shower, ideal for warm days and slower mornings. The outdoor bar creates a natural gathering point, and there are quiet spots tucked around the grounds for reading or downtime. The setting feels private yet close to the town’s bustle.
Hanks House sits within Chipping Norton, a lively market town with cafés, shops, and easy access to countryside walks. Soho Farmhouse is close by, and the wider Cotswolds — from Daylesford to Stow-on-the-Wold — are all within easy reach.

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.
