Constructed in 2009, this much-loved detached home was designed with meticulous attention to detail by the owners. Their vision was to create a ‘cottage style home’ with character features that would be extremely energy efficient, and they achieved this in droves. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, French oak flooring and staircase, Tetbury limestone flooring, Tetbury limestone fireplaces with wood burning stoves are some of the attributes to highlight which beautifully compliment the eco-friendly thermal and solar panels giving it an energy performance rating of ‘B’.

Every corner of this village house has been well-thought out also with quality in mind so unless you take an internal tour you simply will not appreciate quite how fabulous the property and its surroundings are.

The attractive open porch denotes the entry into the property. First impressions, set the scene, as the entrance hall has a vaulted ceiling giving it a sense of style and ambience. On this level the main bedroom with built in wardrobes, a dual aspect and ensuite are located, along with the guest’s bedroom enjoying an ensuite and cupboard. The third double bedroom sits in between and uses the well-appointed family bathroom. Every bedroom benefits from outstanding far reaching countryside views, vaulted ceilings and wooden floors with underfloor heating. The bathroom and the ensuites also profit from underfloor heating as do the rest of the house.

Downstairs you find the living accommodation. The heart of the home is the centrally based kitchen/dining/family room with French doors opening onto the paved sun terrace making it a superb place to entertain. The handmade kitchen with central island was made by Woodchester Cabinet Makers and well-planned storage with built-in appliances. A central and structural English oak timber help divide the different areas within the room. Either side of the impressive fireplace and wood burner there are handmade display cabinets and storage cupboards. The Tetbury limestone flooring runs through into the utility, inner hall and cloakroom. Also enjoying the fantastic views from the dual aspect, is the sitting room and Study, both are blessed with oak flooring. The sitting room’s main focal point is the Tetbury limestone fireplace with wood burner, along with the handmade bespoke shelving and cupboards. The utility is fitted with a range of base units, Belfast sink and two large cupboards: one for storage and the other is acts as ‘mission control’ for the water softener, boiler, pressurized water tank, thermal panel controls and electrics. Stepping out of the utility, you will find an enclosed boot room giving dry access for those wet evenings to the log store.
