The Old Dairy Drive, Upper Castle Combe, SN14

This super home ticks all the boxes when it comes to a practical eco home located in one of the most sought-after villages in the Cotswolds. The Old Dairy Drive is in the upper village of Castle Combe and has the advantage of being at the end of a small cul-de-sac. The well-presented accommodation offers two reception rooms both opening out on a level enclosed garden bordering on to your neighbours’ open fields. The sitting room benefits from a recently fitted free-standing wood burning stove. The four bedrooms are served by two bathrooms and the two at the rear have wonderful far-reaching views. A major feature of this modern home is the investment the owner has made to meet a high standard of eco credentials. A new EV car charging system has been fitted within the garage and a state-of-the-art solar panel system has also recently been installed including solar battery storage. There is also an eco rain water storage system which feeds the washing machine and toilets within the house to save on water consumption. With double glazing and the addition of the contemporary wood burning stove this really should keep the running costs down.

The wonderful mellow colour of the stone walls has a variety of climbing plants adding interest. The neat lawn is edged with attractive borders and shrubs.
