Minimal, expansive and quietly contemporary, this bright new-build home in the south of the Cotswolds National Landscape combines stellar eco credentials and the finest local craftsmanship. Across its plan of some 4,230 sq ft are high-quality fittings and fixtures and thoughtful design features. Multiple doors open the house to its south-facing garden, which has beautiful views over the Churn Valley.



Environmental Performance



Recently built, the house comes with a 10-year new home warranty and has an exceptional EPC 'A' rating, denoting the highest class of energy performance.



Environmentally conscious interventions include 21 photovoltaic panels on the roof with battery storage. An MVHR system was fitted, which, combined with a high level of insulation, triple glazing, and air tightness, ensures a comfortable temperature throughout the seasons. There is also an air-source heat pump, which provides underfloor heating on the ground level, and first-floor radiators designed to provide shorter, more efficient bursts of heating.



The Tour



A large gravel driveway with space to park several cars lies in front of the cedar-clad house. Its striking silhouette of natural stone and cedar, which comprises three connected volumes and a sedum roof, indicates the spaciousness within. The front door opens to a spacious hallway with a WC and a cloak room.



The main living space - a long, lateral room - lies beyond. Honey-toned Amtico flooring runs underfoot, and there is plenty of room for dining and seating areas. Windows line all three sides, with additional brightness added by a lightwell over the stairs. The views are private and tranquil, facing out to fieldland and mature trees. The kitchen is contained here; designed by Voga of Cirencester, it has a Quooker tap, Siemens appliances, and a Bora induction hob. A walk-in pantry is revealed by a subtle door.



There is an additional living space near the front door, delineated with elegant Crittall-style doors. Downstairs is another sitting room with sliding doors to the garden, and a dedicated home study.



The hallway here extends, passing extensive built-in storage to reach two bedrooms: one with an en suite and doors to the garden, the other adjacent to a shower room. As with the rest of the home, the finishes and fittings here are pristine.



On the first floor are another three bedrooms, all with en suites. The principal bedroom is a particularly lovely space, with green-painted walls that mimic the colours in the garden outside. It has dual-aspect windows and a dedicated dressing room.



Outdoor Space



A carefully landscaped garden surrounds the house, with large sections of lawn and terraced areas for outdoor dining. Fieldland beyond acts as a peaceful, undisturbed backdrop.



There is also a garage and an EV charging point.



The Area



This house lies in the beautiful Cotswold National Landscape. As a result, there are plenty of atmospheric walking and cycling routes nearby, as well as an abundance of cosy watering holes and idyllic scenery.
