The Cotswolds, at its best, pure Britishness

Here at August, we take pride in finding the perfect homes located in characterful destinations to suit your families. The Cotswolds is just the slice of English heaven you're looking for...rolling countryside, beautiful scenery, and afternoon tea! A large part of the Cotswolds is still populated today; the region owes its wealth and periodic architecture to the wool trade in Medieval Europe, which sourced the best wool available. The rolling hills of the region were and still are ideal for sheep grazing, and the area became famous for the Cotswold Lion- a distinct breed of sheep that can be seen dotted around the fields. In the nineteenth century, William Morris encapsulated the timeless beauty of rural England, since then the views have stood still.

No matter the location & season, England won't stop you!

As you know we ensure the location of the homes provide you with all the activities and sports you can do under the sun!  The Cotswolds is a mecca for country sporting enthusiasts; the natural topography of the Cotswolds has always lent itself to an abundance of activities to do, from high-bird shooting to hikes that crisscross the region, road cycling through the quaint villages and golfing on the fresh English greens. The weather in England ranges from sunny to rainy, and it is suitable for all activities throughout the year. We understand how important sports are to most of you, and we've made sure that even if you're not a sports fan, you won't miss out on the countryside.

Live and breath the Cotswolds like an Englishman

The main thing we look for is to be nearby a village, living and breathing the area just like a local, we made sure the homes we viewed were within a short distance. The classic Cotswolds villages are all about the community; they are environmentally conscious, and they like to shop and eat locally. The Cotswolds is famous for their farm-to-table cooking and incorporating seasonal ingredients is a must in all gastro pubs and restaurants. The accessibility of neighbouring villages is so convenient for you to start your day right... Picture picking up your breakfast bread from the local bakery and the village square is already bustling with vegetable grocers shouting "6 pears for a pound!", ethically responsible butchers weighing meat, farmers markets setting up stools and the milkman arriving at the traditional English tearooms. We want to make sure you feel comfortable and settled where the homes are; the Guides we create for the homes will include locations for you to visit within the area.
