Buckland Court, Cotswolds

Five minutes by car from the famous ‘picture-postcard’ village of Broadway, in the ancient hamlet of Buckland, lies HPB Buckland Court, a delightful cluster of Cotswold stone cottages. Said to date back to the seventh century, Buckland nestles in a quiet valley set against a scenic wooded backdrop. Once a collection of old farm buildings, the Bond’s cottages have been superbly converted and refurbished to create, arguably, the most peaceful setting in the portfolio.

Buckland Court is just one of 30 glorious UK and European locations that you and your family could enjoy - rent free for life - as investors in the Holiday Property Bond.

Although it is only about 30 miles from Birmingham, the Cotswolds remains largely unspoilt - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty made up of mile-upon-mile of rolling upland, wooded valleys, pretty villages and bustling market towns built of the distinctive honey-tinted Cotswold stone.

Bourton on the Hill, with its steep cottage-lined street leading to the Church, is one of many artists’ delights in the area. Then there is Sezincote, with its Indian-style architecture, beloved of John Betjeman. A former centre of the wool industry, Chipping Campden has an impressive 15th century church and a fine Jacobean market hall. And traditional crafts are kept alive at the pottery, and the Campden Weavers.

Just west of Chipping Campden is Dover’s Hill, with its dramatic views and natural amphitheatre, where the Cotswold ‘Olympics’ are held every summer.

How HPB works: The Bond is a life assurance bond investing, after initial charges, in properties and securities. Properties are booked for a no profit 'user charge' and Points issued with the Bond. There is a quarterly fee of under thirty pounds including VAT linked to RPI, with all other management fees paid from securities. Investment is from £5,000. Encashment may be made under the terms of the "Money Back Promise" referred to above. Otherwise you may encash after two years at a value linked to that of the properties and securities but you may not see a profit and may incur a loss because of initial charges and fluctuations in asset values. In exceptional circumstances encashment may be deferred for up to twelve months. No medical examination required.
