House For Sale £5,500,000
Ready Token House is a handsome Cotswold stone property dating back to the 17th Century. The entire property has been subject to an extensive but sympathetic renovation programme which has been orchestrated by the renowned architects Yiangou. The house now offers well laid out family accommodation finished to an exacting standard throughout.
The ground floor offers generous and light entertaining spaces ideal for every day living or larger scale entertaining when required. The kitchen/breakfast room has been completely redesigned and includes modern appliances and a bespoke kitchen. A central island makes this a sociable space and a stable door leads directly into the formal area of the garden and gives access to a sunny south facing terrace.
On the first floor a spacious landing leads to an impressive principal Bedroom suite with stunning views over the gardens and direct access to a beautifully finished bathroom and dressing room with fitted wardrobes. This floor also has three further double bedrooms and three bathrooms and benefits from the same high ceilings seen on the ground floor. All the bedrooms face onto the garden, providing a delightful outlook with far-reaching southerly views. The second floor has another bedroom and bathroom and direct access to the loft space which makes for useful storage.
Ready Token House sits in a wonderful position with views over the landscaped gardens and onto its own land. There is a stable block including a large storage barn and a further addition has been a recently constructed garage comprised of four bays.
The Cottage
The Cottage provides ancillary accommodation and includes its own walled garden and private parking for several cars with its own access. Internally there are two bedrooms and a well
finished sitting room and kitchen.
Also within the grounds is impressive air-conditioned indoor swimming pool which comes complete with doors to the garden and far-reaching views. This area has changing rooms, showers and a gym area.
Garden and Grounds
As with the house, the gardens have also been subject to a complete refurbishment and redesign programme. This award-winning garden includes cleverly planted borders, lawned areas, kitchen garden and mature trees. Although much of this garden is recent, the entire area has settled seamlessly into the historic setting. Beyond the lawn is a Ha-Ha, which gives a natural divide between the gardens and the land. A small footbridge across gives access to a wildflower meadow and lake. The entire garden has commanding views of the surrounding countryside and can be enjoyed from almost every angle of the garden. The borders surrounding the terrace have been generously planted and have created the perfect outdoor entertaining space which, due to its south facing orientation, is a real sun trap for much of the day. To the side of Ready Token House is a secluded pond garden with a Roman well and well house.
In part of the garden, the vendor introduced an altogether gentler style of rewilding, creating the perfect habitat for a host of native wildflowers and a range of small creatures — many
endangered — in particular butterflies.
The Land
Ready Token House has fields running away to the south of the house. They provide excellent amenity and grazing for livestock. The land includes a combination of lovely mature trees and young plantations. There is room for an arena or ménage (subject to consent) and in one corner is a stone field shelter with water connected, two bays and a concrete floor. The land ensures that the house and gardens have protection over their outlook, views and privacy.
