Gloucestershire, £675,000
With its honey-coloured stones, different rooflines and pretty bay windows, Grade II-listed Rhymes Cottage, in Moreton-in-Marsh, has an almost fairy-tale quality. Inside, it's equally charming, with plenty of exposed stones and timbers, inglenook fireplaces and an Aga in the kitchen. There are two to three bedrooms and a study that opens onto the stone terrace (ideal for alfresco entertaining) and the walled garden beyond. Strutt & Parker (01608 653308)
A Gloucestershire, £1.25 million
Ashlar, in Icomb, has a traditional feel that belies its relatively young age—it was built in 1975 and extended by the current owners. The 2,271sq ft interior, however, has a modern layout, with the dining room flowing into, but still separate from the kitchen. There's also a large sitting room, three first-floor bedrooms and two on the top floor that could also be put to other uses. Outside, the stone terrace and south-facing lawned garden are perfect for summer entertaining. Ashlar, which enjoys fine country views at the rear, also has easy access to many delightful walks.
