Description: Foxes Manor is the oldest house in the village, with the main building dating back nearly four hundred years and the 'new' wing being added about a hundred years later. The house retains nearly all its original oak beams and floorboards, plus four substantial open fireplaces, two of which are available for guests to use. With the inclusion of mullioned stone windows, oak panelling,and a priest's hole, you have one of the most intriguing and evocative Jacobean houses in the region. The house stands in its own tranquil stone-walled garden overlooking by a two hundred year old yew tree, yet is just two minutes' walk from the heart of the village. Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the 'Venice of the Cotswolds', boasts a wealth of attractions, including a famous model village, motor museum, perfumery, and bird sanctuary, plus a host of pubs, restaurant and shops. However, the undisputed jewel is the River Windrush, which flows through the centre of the village, flanked by the village green and is crossed by no less than five stone bridges. The village is well served with a post office, two supermarkets, a library, and a video store all within five minutes' walk of the house. Riding is available at a local stable at one end of the village, and there is an extensive fishing lake at the other.Accommodation: Ground floor: Hall, dining room, drawing room, kitchen, bathroom with shower over and WC, boot room, utility room.
