Imagine a house built in the 16th century. Today, such buildings are very rare, especially far from big cities. Wooden huts are rotting, brick mansions are deteriorating and young people are moving to the megalopolises, abandoning their places of origin.
But there are corners of the world where time seems to have stood still. The Cotswolds, in England, is one of them. Here, among green hills and charming villages, you can find old houses, which carefully preserve the history and atmosphere of past centuries.
One of these houses is the protagonist of our story. Throughout its centuries of history it has changed owners. The last owners were a couple from London: he is a businessman, she is a talented interior designer.
Property in the Cotswolds is very scarce and there is a real struggle for the opportunity to settle here. So it’s no wonder that news of the house purchase has spread around the neighborhood. The neighbors here are a special breed. Those who once left the area often return to wander its streets and enjoy the unique ambience of the Cotswolds.
“When we bought the house, my mother received many letters from former tenants,” says the current landlady.
