Four Cotswold properties new to the market with woodburners, open fires and Agas for winter warmth – The Saharan Challenge – Richard Greasby’s feat of endurance - Market Comment on the Cotswold residential market together with four cracking cottages available across the area - Quintessential Cotswold Pubs for warm, winter belly fill 

Richard Greasby is no stranger to running, having completed various Ultra-marathons including a 100km run along the Cotswold Way. However, running in the desert was an entirely new experience both in terms of the terrain and the temperatures.

As The Cotswolds Property Specialist, our market is not immune to the fluctuations in interest rates announced by the Bank of England last week. Whilst many buyers in the Cotswolds are cash buyers, there are a significant number who will require a loan to some degree, and with the rise in interest rates the market is quieter while buyers, and sellers, take stock.

The Cotswolds is renown for its plethora of pubs, which vary from the traditional drinkers pub with local beers to the gastro pub with a fine dining experience. The Plough at Alvescot and The Lamb at Shipton-under-Wychwood are excellent examples of those pubs offering fabulous local food.
