Weir House, set in its own pretty garden, is the biggest and most beautiful of all our cottages. In fact it's so big, with five en-suite bedrooms, a games room, a drawing room and a dining room, as well as a big kitchen/dining room, that the word cottage is a bit of a misnomer. On the left of the flagged entrance hall, there's a tapestry hanging above a large antique Spanish table, and to the right a rocking horse. Stairs lead up to a galleried landing lit by a round oeil de boeuf window and a large hall lantern. There's a doll's house in a little cupboard in the hall, and under the stairs, the children's den, with dressing-up clothes and a puppet theatre. Two windows look out onto the croquet lawn, and a door on the left opens into the dining room, which has a ten-foot antique pine-topped table and a massive sideboard. Through the arch on the left is the kitchen, floored in the same honey coloured Cotswold-stone as the dining room, with Shaker units in Farrow and Ball off-white; a big island unit; a vast American-style side-by-side fridge-freezer with icemaker; a range cooker and two dishwashers. Doors lead out onto the terrace, so lunches and dinners outside under the vine-covered pergola are an enticing summer possibility. Both rooms have underfloor heating. Folding doors at the far end of the dining room lead to the oak-floored games room. Big double doors and shallow steps lead down into the large drawing room; it has a Gothic arched fireplace in stone, big enough to burn a young tree in, a high-pitched ceiling and massive beams. It occupies the width of the house: the two windows on the left look out onto the North terrace, lawn and flower beds, and the window and French doors on the right have a view over the South terrace, a deep woodland border and trees. A door to the left of the fireplace leads into a corridor, off which open the three downstairs bedrooms. They all have en-suite bathrooms or shower rooms, and high-pitched ceilings.
