Vale Cottage is located in the heart of Hook Norton at the bottom of Bell Hill, overlooking the green and the Rop Brook. A hundred metre walk takes you to the High Street, Village Shop, The Sun Inn, St Peter’s Church, the library, or onto local footpaths into the surrounding countryside.

The gardens of approximately a third of an acre (unmeasured) are quiet and secluded. The area between house and barn is laid to pavers and stone slabs - a large area ideal for entertaining. A south facing pergola with tiled floor offers the perfect location for al fresco eating with views over the lawn which is edged on one side by mature borders and on the other, a raised bed currently used for growing vegetables. Walk down through the archway (or under the willow tree with the tree house) to reach a second lawn with a summer house overlooking a large pond complete with water feature and viewing platform (the best spot to catch the last rays of the evening sun). A greenhouse for the keen gardener and two garden sheds offer good storage for equipment.
The gardens can be accessed via the driveway to the side of the Old Bakery and Bakery Cottage and through the double gates by Vale Barn as detailed in the property deeds;
