The Mews Swindon, Wiltshire

Property Description

Nestled within the heart of the Wiltshire countryside on a working family farm fringing the historic village of Avebury, this home is the perfect country getaway for those looking to escape the humdrum of urban living. Split into six separate buildings (or mews, if you will), there is plenty of space and privacy for all guests, and the communal gardens are ideal for gathering in the evening with a bottle of wine by the roaring fire pit, or getting together in the mornings for lazy breakfasts – the sourdough loaf in the welcome hamper is phenomenal. Or, if you're after a big cook-up, your host can deliver fresh farm produce right to your barn door.

When bellies are full and the road calls, you won't have far to go for an adventure. Take a three-minute drive or half-hour's stroll into the local village of Avebury – it's an afternoon well spent with its traditional inns and charming shops, while the neolithic spectacle that is Stonehenge is a scenic forty-minute drive from home. Of course, for those looking to reconnect with nature, you won't have to look far as the Wiltshire countryside can be reached from your very doorstep and promises days of enthusiastic strolls, wildlife-spotting rambles, and relaxed meanders.
