Originally home to Capital & Counties Bank in the 1800s, Bank House has been transformed throughout as a spacious getaway for families exploring the Cotswolds. Located on Fairford High Street, shops (including Boots and local convenience stores), restaurants and scenic trails are in very short walking distance. Passing through the striking entrance hall leads to a reading and board game room. The original bank vault located underneath has been reimagined as a private cinema & games room.

The first floor is home to a very well-equipped kitchen, open-plan dining/living space with striking artwork from London’s Maddox Gallery and local artists, and a large seating area with TV. The dining room boasts a large, reclaimed teak monastery table. The second floor boasts two adjacent super-king bedrooms and modern bathroom. Both bedrooms offer luxury Mattison Beds, soft gowns, and calming pillow spray. Bedroom 2 is furnished with two full-size single beds and can be made into a super king bed on request. To the rear of Bank House, you will find a lavender-lined private garden with a table, chairs, and bike rack.
