Thimble Farm, GU5

Thimble Farm is set in an idyllic, 100 acre rewilded landscape. From wildlife-rich ponds to deep, ancient woods threaded with winding tracks and lush green glade clearings, the land exudes nature’s quiet beauty.

At its heart lies a sweet 19th-century cottage, straight from a fairytale storybook. This charming, weathered home cloaked in ornate, hanging tiles and enveloped in plants, pots and patios enjoys a cosy, magical setting  within the woods.

Scattered across the farm are a range of structures: from a modern summer house in the garden to the hidden and ancient brick icehouse tucked quietly away, to a ramshackle ‘folly’ perched high on a hill. Each structure offers creative minds another unique backdrop to play with.
