Owner profile
About the owner
I originally come from Cape Town, South Africa, but have been letting our holiday cottages since 1995. My husband's family have had the farm since the 1930's.
Many of our guests have enjoyed staying with us from all parts of the world and appreciate the beautiful countryside around us and there is always plenty to do.
Year purchased: before 1950
Why the owner chose a home in this location
The farm overlooks Ivinghoe Beacon, the beginning of the Ridgeway Path, a National Trail which goes through to Avebury in Wiltshire. The trail is 87 miles (139km) long, much of it following the ancient chalk ridge route used by prehistoric man.
We love the area because you can be in the middle of the countryside one minute and hopping on the train for a 50 minute ride to London the next. We are also close to the Grand Union Canal which stretches from London to Birmingham and which offers leisurely walks and boat hire. We are also only around an hour from Stratford on Avon, a little further to Oxford and Cambridge, and is a good basis for sightseeing.
Unique benefits of the property
The cottage is on a working farm, part of which is a "Pick Your Own". In the summer months you can walk down to the strawberry fields, stopping for an ice cream while down there. The pick your own also grows a huge variety of other fruits and vegetables. The cottage is comfortably furnished and offers all the convenience of your own home, with dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a shared tennis court as well as a small play area and trampoline for the children.
