Antiques

Antique hunting is one of our favourite pastimes, and the Cotswolds is home to an abundance of antique shops, markets and vintage treasures. We also visit hidden private dealers, offering the chance to discover something truly special to take home.

The Beauty of the Cotswolds, our home

The Cotswolds covers almost 800 square miles, and runs through five counties; Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire & Worcestershire, so there’s lots to explore!

​

Each village boasts its own identity, yet they all have one defining feature: golden stone and rolling hills which has become synonymous with the Cotswolds.

 

From quintessentially English towns and villages, to lively market towns such as Cirencester, as well as famous gardens, ancient woodlands and breath-taking landscapes, the Cotswolds really does have it all.  

​

That is why in 2020 we decided to make this special area our home with a move to the North Cotswolds. 

​

Surrounded by all the things we love - tranquil countryside, beautiful architecture and bountiful antique shopping - we wish we'd done it sooner!

​

We'd now love to share this magical place with you.
