Nethercote Fields

Nethercote Fields Barn

Nethercote Fields is a barn conversion, completed in the Spring of 1991.
This mellow old stone building is situated in the tranquil, tiny hamlet of Nethercote, midway between Great Wolford and Little Wolford on the edge of the Cotswolds. Although it is quietly tucked away, it is very easily accessible from three main roads (see map on location page). Indeed, so quiet is it that it is actually mentioned in 'The Book of Lost Villages,' there having been an ancient settlement behind the farm on which Nethercote Fields is situated.
Front Door And Patio Area The Building itself is around one hundred years old and was originally used as a cattle stall; however, the present owners used it as stables up until the time of the conversion. Horses and sheep still live at Nethercote Farm, which is a working farm, and Nethercote Fields enjoys an uninterrupted view across rolling farmland to the hills. These views to the West are particularly beautiful, and are visible when one is in the sitting room, and from many other windows including the one above the kitchen sink.
The accommodation, which is all on the ground floor, is carefully planned so that there is a feeling of harmony and space. No effort has been spared to provide comfort and quality - in fact, the aim of the owners is to give the guests the very high standards of living that they enjoy in their own homes. There are three bedrooms, tastefully decorated with matching duvet covers and curtains. The two twin-bedded rooms share a bathroom, and the double-bedded room has a shower room ensuite. Again, the high quality of all the fittings is evident even at a cursory glance. This same quality is displayed in the exceptionally well-fitted kitchen. The units themselves are oak, and there is a dishwasher, washing machine/dryer and fridge/freezer. No need to bring your own towels and bed linen, as this is all provided in your rental. We are sorry, but we cannot allow dogs, but children are welcome, and cot and baby-sitting are available on request from the owners.

The dining room is simply furnished with lovely polished table and chairs, and is a cosy room with a serving hatch from the kitchen. When the weather is good, guests may choose to eat outside on the patio, surrounded by tubs of colourful flowers.
Sitting Room
Perhaps the most delightful feature of this property, which gives an air of tradition and grace, is the wonderfully spacious sitting room (21ft. x 15ft.). With its lovely old original beams high in the roof and its many windows, it is an exceptionally light and bright room, even on a dull day. Comfortable chairs, soft fitted carpet and electric log fire in a Cotswold stone fireplace make this room a place to relax in style. The whole property is generously fitted with radiators. There is also a pay phone for outgoing and incoming calls.
Swimming Pool Guests may also use the outdoor heated swimming pool which is next to the patio, but behind locked gates for children's safety.
