Just a four minute stroll away from this Arts & Crafts home is The Red Lion, which has the claim of being Britain’s first community-owned pub when it opened in the early 1980s. Even today, the pub is at the heart of this village’s community, with events held throughout the year – from the Harvest Auction in autumn to Carols at Christmas. Back home, Crunnells Green House was built in the style of Edwin Lutyens in 1919 and has elegant reception rooms across the ground floor, all with high ceilings and original features.

This attractive five-bedroom home can be found in the equally as pretty village of Bentworth. Located just a 10-minute walk from The Sun Inn, Tristam House has been in the same ownership for over three decades; a sign of what a fantastic family home it truly is. The village pub dates from the 17^th century and is full of timber beams, open fireplaces, and original brick floors.

The Cotswolds is known for its cosy pubs and popular eateries, and one of the most talked about is The Bull in Charlbury. Finstock Manor, a grand Elizabethan manor house, is just a five-minute drive away from this popular haunt in the historical village of Finstock. This impressive Grade II* Listed home sits in just over 4.5 acres of grounds, including a swimming pool with pool house, granary, and equestrian facilities. From the home, there’s fantastic views over Cornbury Park.

This butter yellow home is part of an exclusive enclave in Chelsea. And whilst it’s certainly a luxurious home – it’s set on a private road after all – the three-bedroom house has the feel of a cottage thanks to its cosy curated interiors. Living here, you’re also only a hop, skip, and jump away from The Fox & Pheasant, a gastropub that could have been plucked from a country village.

Few things rival the allure of a Georgian rectory, but pair it with a superb country pub that’s just a short stroll away, and it becomes truly unbeatable. This Grade II listed home dates to the 18^th century and has plenty of period features, but it’s been wonderfully updated and enhanced in more recent years. The acre of gardens is peaceful, and you’re surrounded by farmland and open countryside. Less than a mile walk away is The Lantern Inn, a cosy country inn with a great pub garden.
