Farmhouse kitchen units are arranged in a L-shape layout, painted in 'Stiffkey Blue' by Farrow and Ball, with quartz tops and brushed gold fittings by Buster and Punch. Appliances include a beautiful Rangemaster Elise stainless-steel range oven with induction hob, a fully-integrated French door fridge/freezer by Fisher and Paykel. At the centre, the large island houses a Belfast sink with Quooker tap in brushed gold and has plenty of space for food preparation and informal dining. The generous dining area is tucked to one corner, anchored by built-in banquette seating in a matching blue shade. Floor-to-ceiling Crittall-style glazing along the rear wall leads out onto the terrace, where an outdoor dining and seating area overlooks the rolling hills.
From the hallway, double Crittall-style doors slide open into the spacious sitting room, finished in a neutral palette with 'Shadow White' by Farrow and Ball and warmed by a Hamlet wood burner set within a stone fireplace. Two south-facing windows invite in gentle morning light, while a wall of well-crafted cabinets and shelves provides additional space for storage, and bespoke wall-mounted cabinetry has been fitted to conceal the television unit when not in use.
Also on this floor is a quiet home office, accessed from the snug, with an exposed stone open fireplace and abundant built-in storage. The airy utility room is appointed with practical units painted in a light sage and topped with wood surfaces, with integrated washer and dryer, and a large Belfast sink.
Accessible from the hallway, the staircase has sisal carpeting and leads up to the first floor, where there are four double bedrooms. Private and quiet, the principal bedroom is tucked to the rear, dressed in Barneby Gates Gold Palm patterned wallpaper, harmoniously complemented by antique gold fittings. The en suite bathroom is finished in a neutral palette, with timber panelling and bathtub with overhead shower and Crittall-style screen. There are three further double bedrooms, one with an en suite and arresting views of the church and open countryside beyond. The shared bathroom has a nautical palette with blue timber panelling, matching roll-top bath and separate shower.
The Great Outdoors
A charming, traditional Cotswold dry-stone wall wraps around the south-west facing front gardens alongside established trees and flowering shrubs, providing privacy and a colourful backdrop throughout the seasons. A generous stone terrace extends from the snug, offering plenty of space for outdoor dining and lounging, surrounded by well-maintained lawn and plantings of juneberry, Himalayan birch and a mix of specimen shrubs and herbaceous perennials.
Courtyard-style gardens continue to the rear, bordered by traditional drystone walls. Here, a further dining area is seamlessly connected to the kitchen, perfect for outdoor dining and easy entertaining in the warmer seasons, with undisturbed views across the north Cotswolds landscape. Opposite across the lane is a double garage and an off-road parking area with space for several cars.
