Step into historic England at Wyck Cottage in the almost untouched village of Wyck Rissington, a hidden Cotswold secret. You will be struck by the peaceful atmosphere where your daily stresses melt away and you have the freedom to spend your time at your own pace.
Wyck Cottage is the embodiment of a Cotswold escape with original features adding character throughout. A large inglenook of exposed stone, wooden beams, and a quirky layout born from the cottage's history create a cosy nook, ideal for a digital detox and making the most of time with friends and family. The home was once two cottages, and you can see part of its history in the old hinges at the front where past noblemen would store their carriages. Each bedroom has an en-suite and the living areas lend themselves to long conversations and family meals.
Find hidden secrets in the garden as you follow the path to an area left to grow naturally tucked behind a gated fence. Welcoming rewilding, there is a small pond where local wildlife can make its home. The dogs will love playing on the lawn and there are opportunities to dine or simply embrace your surroundings while sipping a cup of tea.
