Roebucks Rose is named after the cheeky roe deer who often comes close to snaffle the roses, it’s the boundless fauna and flora that inspired our gardener, Posy, to create a sun-drenched courtyard garden as a haven for families. Engulfed in Cotswold stone, the single-storey barn brings together rustic character with contemporary design, while a soak in the Quince outdoor copper bath elevates any mood to happy.
Roebuck’s Rose is daubed in a warm, a palette of soft whites and greens which allows the modern artwork and quirky curio to really pop out. Vaulted ceilings and huge windows flood the single storey L-shaped barn with sunlight, while the south-facing courtyard is designed for soaking up the sunshine.
Slumber down in one of the five generously sized bedrooms, bag the one with a four-poster bed. All have the Quince level of comfort with signature comfy beds. While the vaulted drawing room with an electric wood burner, a spacious dining room and a separate kitchen makes entertaining easy peasy.
Step into your courtyard for more dining and comfy lounge areas, a Weber BBQ, and, of course, the Quince outdoor bath house with a heavenly tin copper tub for two.
Spend days exploring acres and acres of private grounds and discover winding paths through water meadows where picnic tables hide. Climb trees and ride the big swing or take a peep into the bird hides for secret views across the nature reserve. And naturally, there's plenty of space for parking.
The house has fast fibre broadband which makes it ideal as a place to work as well as relax.

Roebucks Rose is deep in the wilds of Chimney Meadows Nature Reserve where the landscape is ever changing with the season, wildflowers bloom in the lush meadows through spring and summer while the ancient water meadows naturally flood in autumn and winter attracting different birds and wildlife and a wonderfully different landscape. Bird hides abound, our favourite is the newest thatched one to the west of us where the views are spectacular.
Set deep in the wilds at the end of a single-track lane, guests of Roebuck’s Rose have acres of private grounds to roam where the garden team are creating something special here. The sanctuary of a sun-drenched, flower-rich courtyard garden and the wilds of the surrounding meadows are a masterpiece changing with the seasons, bringing colour and life that lifts the mood. Wake up to birdsong and drift off to the hoot of the owl, the barn's extraordinary location in the Chimney Meadows Nature Reserve makes for a seriously mellow escape whatever the season. Happy days.
