Camp Lane, Warmington, Banbury, Oxfordshire, OX17

Space, light and views on the edge of the Cotswold ridge.

Description

Ridge House occupies a discreet and sought after position on the edge of the village of Warmington, enjoying a notably elevated outlook across surrounding countryside. The house is well balanced and attractively proportioned, offering comfortable family accommodation underpinned by light, space and a strong sense of connection to its setting.

The principal rooms are arranged to take full advantage of the position, with generous windows drawing in both views and natural light. The flow of the accommodation is particularly effective, lending itself equally well to everyday family life and more formal entertaining, with a calm, understated character throughout.

The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the house, practical yet welcoming, and supported by well considered reception space that allows flexibility of use. Here there are two sets of double doors out to the terrace flooding the house with natural light. The kitchen features handmade bespoke units by Terence Ball, a wide range of Neff appliances and a contemporary wood burner. There is a charming morning room with wooden floors and double doors leading out to the south facing terrace and garden. Ascending from the morning room is a galleried study/ bedroom five, with ample space and a glass feature window overlooking the Ratley Valley.

The bedrooms have generous proportions and are thoughtfully arranged, with the principal suite enjoying the most favourable outlook and a reassuring degree of privacy.

Descending from the morning room is a spacious media room/ family room, and a fourth bedroom and shower room which together with the small kitchen could provide ancillary accommodation. Plant room and large storeroom.

High specification technology throughout, including internet accessible lighting controls (KNX), Nest integrated smoke and CO alarm system and Windhager biomass boiler.

Outside, the gardens are a notable feature. They are primarily laid to lawn and carefully arranged to provide variety, interest and a series of places to sit and enjoy the outlook. The elevated position gives a sense of openness without exposure, a rare balance in a village setting. A bespoke outdoor office adds to the overall appeal and arguably commands the best view. Light and power is connected so this space can easily adapt to a workshop.
