A brave relocation to the Oxfordshire Cotswolds brought Helen Cook to a Grade II-listed townhouse, which changed her life in more ways than one.<\/h2>\n

\"Rustic<\/p>\n

For Helen Cook and her husband Chris, their impromptu move to the Cotswolds came at the end of a difficult chapter \u2013 which was perhaps why they were so open to a fresh start. \u2018We went there for a mini-break to recover after I\u2019d been very unwell,\u2019 Helen reveals. \u2018Chris and I were driving around the countryside saying how wonderful it would be to live here. Next thing we knew, we were agreeing to make a go of it over a pub lunch.\u2019<\/p>\n

The couple returned on the hottest day of 2013 to view seven potential properties, and Witney House was the \u001d rst. To say that they were blown away would be an understatement. The then-owner led us through the back gate on to the formal walled garden, which sprawls over a third of an acre. My nose was \u001d lled with the scent of roses as we turned a corner and saw the house, surrounded by a split-level terrace and a pair of stone staircases. It looked just stunning,\u2019 Helen enthuses.<\/p>\n

The Georgian townhouse is built from beautiful Cotswold stone and, along with the impressive manicured grounds, boasts original sash windows, flagstone floors and a sweeping staircase to the first storey, which at the time housed three generous double bedrooms, one with an en suite, and two served by a Jack-and Jill bathroom.<\/p>\n

With six further viewings on the agenda, Helen and Chris reluctantly left, but the house was never far from their minds. \u2018Nothing even came close \u2013 it was too late, we\u2019d already fallen in love with it,\u2019 Helen smiles. \u2018We did a quick walk up the high street to check the area and we both turned to each other and said, \u201cLet\u2019s go for it!\u201d\u2019.<\/p>

Given that the property is so large \u2013 the couple later agreed it was too big for just the two of them and so toyed with the idea of opening a B&B. \u2018We decided to renovate it as a family home then see how we felt; either I would \u001d nd a job locally or we\u2019d do it. In the end, Chris took voluntary redundancy from his job as a building surveyor and project manager, so we started the B&B and haven\u2019t looked back.\u2019<\/p>\n

For the first year, Chris was still busy with work, so the couple took their time to settle into the area, which they\u2019d only experienced a tiny portion of during their fleeting viewing. Luckily, the location was just as beautiful as the house. \u2018We are so fortunate \u2013 Witney is amazing. There are brilliant shops, restaurants and pubs (one just two doors down), plus our new neighbours are lovely,\u2019 Helen says.<\/p>\n

The Cooks\u2019 new address is also historically signi\u001d cant, and is often described as one of the best-preserved streets in England. It will therefore come as no surprise that the house is Grade II listed, and so when Chris finally stepped down from his job, his experience and insight into renovation proved invaluable.<\/p>\n

\u2018We wanted to ensure the work was completed sympathetically, and we also had to apply for Listed Building Consent for all the plans,\u2019 Helen says. \u2018Extensive plumbing and rewiring was required, and ceilings came down, joists were reinforced and a new kitchen was installed, which meant a wall had to be removed, too.\u2019<\/p>

Amazingly, the couple stayed in the property for the whole two-year project, with just one rotating room as a mess-free sanctuary. The work included recon\u001d guring the first floor to add an extra, smaller double bedroom, dividing the Jack-and-Jill bathroom into two en suites and creating a private master suite in the sizeable loft. This was once the servants\u2019 quarters and was reconfigured to include a both a dressing room and separate bathroom.<\/p>\n

‘The low point was New Year\u2019s Day 2016,\u2019 Helen grimaces. \u2018We tore out the kitchen and immediately went away onholiday, only to return to a building site. I\u2019d never advise attempting a kitchen project in winter; had it been summer we could have lived on barbecues and salads more easily than endless microwaved meals. That said, as soon as the work was finished we forgot all the disruption as we could see how wonderful it was going to be.\u2019<\/p>\n

Helen and Chris were also keen to preserve the house\u2019s historical character in the interior. \u2018We wanted to ensure it had a calm and welcoming feel \u2013 modern and luxurious but in-keeping with the era \u2013 and were very aware it deserved quality fixtures and fittings,\u2019 she says. This is clear in the kitchen, where handmade cabinetry in rich navy and pale grey is complemented by chrome handles and new flagstones, inspired by the original \u001d oor in the hall. \u2018It is a bit of a clich\u00e9, but I do love the Scandi look,\u2019 Helen continues. \u2018I read in a magazine that your home\u2019s colour scheme should mirror the contents of your wardrobe, as those are the shades that you feel most comfortable in. True to form, most of my clothes are in navy, grey and white.\u2019<\/p>\n

This palette contributes an airiness to every room, even without Swedish open-plan living, and a cohesive style develops as you wander through the property. Oak floors, exposed Cotswold stone and warm, natural walls provide a neutral base for unfussy furnishings, which vary from nods towards the Georgian era to fresh, modern designs. \u2018One of my favourite parts is the largest bedroom, with an en suite that overlooks the garden, with a rolltop bath and soft-grey panelling. It really is lovely,\u2019 she smiles.<\/p>

To family and friends, as well as paying guests, Witney House seems all but finished, but the Cooks still have some grand plans. \u2018We want to source an antique armoire for our office\/dining room, Chris is designing storage for our walk-in wardrobe and we\u2019re thinking about creating a summer room,\u2019 Helen lists. \u2018I don\u2019t think a home like this is ever finished. It will continue to evolve.\u2019 Another project is to investigate the house\u2019s history: \u2018We know Edward Early, a member of the Witney blanket dynasty, lived here in 1825, as a water pump bears his initials.\u2019<\/p>\n

It\u2019s safe to say that upping sticks to the Cotswolds has been a great move, and any initial worries have been wiped away by the welcoming community and new way of life. \u2018All those years ago when we made the decision, our only concern was distance from elderly relatives and friends,\u2019 Helen reveals. \u2018However, we thought what\u2019s the worst that could happen? If it didn\u2019t work out we could move back \u2013 luckily, everyone loves visiting us here. And after all our hard work, it is the ultimate compliment when people admire the house now.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018When we first moved here, we met one of the previous owners and he said, \u201cThat house was an absolute pleasure to live in and it was a privilege to live there\u201d \u2013 and that is exactly how we feel,\u2019 she continues. \u2018It is a very special house and we\u2019re so lucky.\u2019<\/p>\n
