Post Box Cottage is constructed of locally quarried stone beneath a reconstituted tiled roof with attractive timber casement windows. The property enjoys an idyllic position as part of the village street scene and falls within the village Conservation Area but is not Listed. The current owners have made considerable improvements to the property during their tenure, including a full refurbishment, replacement of the kitchen and upgrade of the garage to an annexe. The annexe has been designed for self-contained accommodation and sits detached from the main house.
Garden and Grounds
Post Box Cottage has a very pretty garden laid mainly to lawn with mature shrub beds and an arrangement of trees. There are two stone outbuildings, one which could be used as a further office or Gym and the other which is a large garden store.
Location
The pretty village of Farmington lies near the Gloucestershire/Oxfordshire border within the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, yet with easy access to the A40.
The village includes a pretty village green, the Grade I listed Church of St Peter and the site of a picturesque Grade II listed octagonal structure constructed in 1898 to shelter the village pump. There is a village shop/tea room in neighbouring Sherborne, and the nearby small town of Northleach has a number of good shops and pubs for everyday needs. Cirencester, Burford and Stow on-the-Wold all offer a wider selection of shops, whilst the regional centres of Cheltenham and Oxford provide an extensive range of shopping, leisure, cultural and educational facilities.
The Cotswold School in Bourton-on-the-Water is consistently ranked as one of the highest-performing comprehensive schools in the country. Other schools nearby include Burford School, Rendcomb College, as well as the Cheltenham Colleges, Dean Close and Pate's Grammar School in Cheltenham. The A40 provides easy access to London, Oxford and Cheltenham, and there is a mainline station at Kingham with regular services to London Paddington. Northleach 1.5 miles, Burford 8.5 miles, Cirencester 12.4 miles, Kingham Station (London Paddington 93 minutes) 13.3 miles, Cheltenham 14.3 miles, Oxford 27.7 miles (all distances and times are approximate).

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 5, 2022
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
