a stylish and beautifully presented detached cotswold stone home, set within the sought-after hillside village of oakridge and surrounded by beautiful open countryside.

The Property

Positioned at the historic heart of the village, this charming Cotswold stone country residence beautifully combines traditional character with a superb range of contemporary improvements, thoughtful alterations and high-quality upgrades. The current owners have transformed the property over recent years with great attention to detail, including the imaginative conversion of the former carports to create exceptional additional accommodation. This has resulted in a fabulous dining room and impressive entrance hall/boot room, both distinguished by two striking contemporary steel-arched doors and glazing and an internal steel screen door which have become real focal points of the home. The dining room flows seamlessly into the magnificent bespoke kitchen, individually designed and fitted by The Shaker Workshop. Beautifully appointed, the kitchen provides an abundance of storage, generous work surfaces and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including a separate fridge and freezer, dishwasher, microwave and oven. A substantial central island incorporates the hob and discreet extractor, creating a wonderful sociable space for both everyday family life and entertaining. A much-loved larder provides further valuable storage. Off the dining room is a useful WC and a separate utility room, which provides excellent additional storage and practical space for everyday household needs. Beautiful LVT wooden flooring flows from the entrance through the dining room and into the kitchen and on into the garden room, creating a wonderful sense of continuity. A further double contemporary steel door from the kitchen provides direct access to the garden, while double ¾ glazed wooden doors lead into a superb recently fully refurbished garden room. French double doors open directly onto the garden, and electric ceiling blinds add to the comfort and practicality of this impressive space. The sitting room is another particularly characterful room. A feature fireplace houses an LPG-fired stove with an engineered wooden floor, while a window seat provides a lovely spot from which to enjoy the natural light. A step leads through to the versatile hobby area/home office, which is open to the sitting room, allowing natural light to flow between the two spaces. This flexible area provides an ideal setting for working from home, reading or pursuing hobbies, whilst retaining a lovely connection with the main living space and views over the garden. A glorious Cotswold stone spiral staircase rises to the first floor, where the accommodation continues to impress. The principal bedroom benefits from a wall of fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. There is a further guest bedroom with en-suite facilities, a third bedroom currently arranged as a gym, and a newly fitted family bathroom. The attic level provides an additional bedroom, together with a further open bedroom area to the rear and useful low-level access to extensive attic storage. Throughout the property, the owners have carefully retained and complemented its inherent character. Exposed Cotswold stone walls, exposed timbers and other period features sit beautifully alongside the contemporary additions and decorations. Every window has also been replaced with sensitive aluminium-framed double-glazed units, forming part of the extensive improvements undertaken by the current owners. This is a truly special village home, offering a rare combination of Cotswold character, beautifully considered accommodation and an outstanding standard of modernisation and contemporary styling.

Outside

The exterior has been transformed with equal care and attention to detail. Set behind double wooden gates, the driveway provides parking for two vehicles with directional LED lighting. It is discreetly screened from both the newly created front courtyard and the garden by tall Corten steel screens and planters. The oil tank is situated here. The private gravelled courtyard is a particularly lovely addition, providing a sheltered and inviting space with a water feature for outdoor relaxing. Positioned directly outside the dining room and entrance hall/boot room, it creates a wonderful connection between the house and the garden and is ideally suited to entertaining. The gardens wrap around the property in an L-shape, sweeping towards the front of the house and enclosed by a traditional Cotswold stone wall. Thoughtful landscaping has created a series of secluded areas in which to sit and enjoy the garden, with imaginative planted beds incorporating ornamental grasses and a variety of flowering plants. A further paved terrace lies directly in front of the garden room, providing another attractive outdoor seating area and an ideal spot for enjoying the garden throughout the day. The combination of courtyards, terraces and secluded garden areas creates a wonderfully versatile outside space, with plenty of opportunities for dining, entertaining or simply relaxing in privacy.
