Lower Northend Cottage

Thatched architecture and considered country interiors define this four-bedroom house for rent on Wormsley Estate, set within landscaped gardens with far-reaching rural views.

A long gravel drive draws you towards Lower North End Cottage, a thatched roofline softening its silhouette against the countryside. Set within expansive grounds, the house feels thoughtfully positioned – a rural setting with views that stretch far beyond the garden’s edge.

Inside, bucolic interiors strike a calming chord. Exposed beams and a working fireplace anchor the reception room, where soft green walls temper the weight of the architecture. French doors open directly onto the terrace, framing views of the gardens and landscape.

The kitchen and dining area occupy the ground floor’s other half. A merge of old and new unfolds in the kitchen: a Wolf range cooker and clean-lined cabinetry sit opposite an impressive antique oak habedashery cabinet. A large island ensures plenty of storage space, with appliances neatly integrated. Pale pink walls brighten the dining room – complete with an intricately carved fireplace and seamless access to the outdoors. Here, a patio is primed for long summer lunches soaking up the setting, with lawn and open countryside unfolding just beyond.

Upstairs, bedrooms are arranged with a sense of separation and calm. The principal suite pairs generous proportions with soft decorative detail – a vaulted ceiling, patterned wallpaper and views across the surrounding fields. Two further bedrooms take on their own character through colour and fabric, served by a soft sage family bathroom with a rolltop tub.

Elsewhere, a fourth and final bedroom serves as a self-contained studio space. Alongside a generous vaulted bedroom with a sofa and seating space, a kitchenette and en suite shower room.
