Buttermilk Farm, GL54

Buttermilk Farm is an organic dairy farm set in the heart of the Cotswolds, full of quintessential Englishness with its butter-coloured stone barns and manor house, village-life backdrops including its own cricket pitch and views of the neighbouring church; all surrounded by a rolling blanket of grassy fields and extensive woodland.

The picturesque Cotswold stone manor house and annexe sits amongst a collection of old stone barns and outbuildings; left untouched and possessing many original features inside and out, with their exposed beams and original flagstone floors.
