House For Sale £1,500,000
The Paddocks is a substantial detached house built around 15 years ago to reflect the vernacular architecture and style of the Cotswolds. The design skilfully combines the use of traditional materials with oak joinery, wrought iron door furniture and limestone flooring with modern luxuries such as underfloor heating and wood burning stoves. A particular aspect that helps to create the traditional look is the variety of window styles used with stone mullions, oak casements and leaded lights all being present. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation is tailored to suit modern lifestyles with the principal living accommodation being comprised of a spacious entrance hall, generous sitting room with French doors to the garden and an imposing fireplace with wood burning stove, a dining hall (also with doors to the garden) and a kitchen/breakfast room complete with 4-oven aga and Belfast sink. On the first floor, the principal suite has a dressing area and luxurious en suite bathroom whilst there are three other bedrooms served by two bathrooms (one en suite). A ground floor study, utility and cloakroom complete the accommodation.
Set close to the boundary of the plot, the house is immersed in nature with paddocks to the front and mature woodlands to the rear. The immediate gardens are mainly comprised of level lawns with a paved terrace accessed via French doors from the sitting room. The paddock extends to around 2.75 acres with two small areas fenced off for poultry and pigs but much of it managed organically for several years. The long driveway leads to an extensive parking area with a detached triple garage that has steps to one side leading to a guest annexe comprised of an open plan living/bedroom with kitchenette and a shower room.
