Every Wild Bluebell Rotherfield Greys, Oxfordshire

Property Description

This lovely flat in Rotherfield Greys is a dream come true for amblers, with woodland walks, cycling trails and bridleways practically on your doorstep. A haven for cyclists and ramblers alike, you can store your bikes securely in the garage at night. We can't think of a better spot to switch off and unplug – after all, who'd want to think of anything else when you could be soaking up the fresh air and admiring the bluebells from your own terrace? It's the perfect spot to sit back and relax with a cup of tea in the morning or a Pimm's come evening and relish in the peaceful garden. And trust us – that blissful feeling is pretty hard to beat.

When you're not roaming around the countryside, make yourself comfortable in the charming living area. With squishy sofas, well-thumbed books and a table perfectly placed in the bay window, it's the definition of cosy. You'll find plenty of cookware in the kitchen to rustle up whatever you fancy, be it scrummy baked goods or mouth-watering roasts. Or wander over to the village pub for dinner and drinks – a short walk over the fields will bring you to The Malsters Arms, a recently-refurbished traditional country pub warmly hosted by Brian and his son Ben. Next door and well worth a visit is St Nicholas Church which featured on the show "Who Do You Think You Are" in early 2022.

Speaking of location, you're in a prime spot to explore Henley-on-Thames – it's about five minutes by car (and an hour on foot). Head there for independent boutiques, delicious restaurants and walks along the river. The Mill at Sonning is a short eighteen-minute drive away, an ideal day out for any thespians. Also worth a visit is the Grey Court National Trust, easily reached on foot.

Your host Anne provides small maps of the area and can suggest some great walking routes for you to explore, having recently organised a 3 hour circular walk crossing the National Trust land and the Fleming Estate. Of particular note are the walks around Nettlebed, after which Anne highly recommends grabbing a toasted bite at the Cheese Shed.
