Having spent a great deal of their married lives travelling the globe on business, an opportunity to settle more permanently in London inspired Natasha and Richard to look for a country cottage near their daughters’ schools in the Cotswolds.‘We never intended to buy anything as large as this stone Victorian rectory, but we were taken by its beautifully proportioned rooms and huge windows, added to which these Victorian rectories are amazing value, ’ Natasha enthuses. ’You get a heck of a lot of house for your money.’ Other benefits included four acres of landscaped garden, a lake filled with water lilies and crayfish, a stream with an arch bridge, a long pebbled drive through beautiful mature trees, a pool and tennis court.
