The Cotswolds remains one of the UK’s most desirable and expensive areas for homebuyers, with its picturesque towns and idyllic countryside drawing in the affluent and famous alike.
At the heart of this premium market sits the renowned “Golden Triangle” — encompassing Chipping Norton, Burford, and Stow-on-the-Wold — a region long admired for its charm and exclusivity. High-profile names such as Jeremy Clarkson, the Beckhams, Simon Cowell, and Ellen DeGeneres have all been connected to this sought-after locale.
According to Rightmove data, the number of properties priced over £1 million in the Cotswolds has more than doubled within just six years, rising from 6% of listings in early 2019 to 14% in the first quarter of 2025. This means roughly one in every seven homes currently on the market is valued above the million-pound mark.
