Allcourt

Lechlade-on-Thames | Gloucestershire

Picturesque stone cottages surrounded by wildflowers

Allcourt sits in two halves either side of a traditional wildflower meadow with a small pond. Its two- and three-bedroom properties are built of local stone, as is the modernised 17th-Century cottage on the estate, and all offer excellent views of the serene and beautiful pastoral setting.

The centre of Lechlade-on-Thames is but a few minutes’ walk away. An ancient market town with Georgian houses clustered around the market place, it is dominated by the slender, elegant spire of St Lawrence’s church, one of the great Gloucestershire wool churches. It has a good range of shops, as well as restaurants and pubs. It is also the highest navigable point on the Thames and from here you can walk the Thames Path or take to the water with a boat hired from the local marina and chandlery. Nearby possibilities for days out include the Mill and Trout Farm at Bibury, the 15th-Century ruins by the river in Minster Lovell, or the Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens. The bustling market towns of Cirencester, Stow-on-the-wold and Burford are also within easy reach.
