This house offers all the benefits of a modern brand-new home, built in traditional Cotswold style, with everything now fully bedded in. This house was commissioned by its current owners, built to the highest standards and has been beautifully maintained by them since completion just 5 years ago.
The house is situated on the High Street, a quiet, traditional, rural street in the heart of the Standlake. The village is superb, a strong community with so much going on; a renowned cricket club, tennis club, well attended running club, water sports lakes, a great local pub, excellent walks by the River Thames, close to outstanding State and Independent Schools - all whilst still being close to Oxford, good rail links to London and an hour’s drive to Heathrow.
The quality of design and build is apparent from the moment you step foot inside the front door, it’s clear no expense has been spared with thoughtful touches such as SONOS integrated speakers, top quality Kloeber windows and doors, a bespoke glass and solid oak staircase and under floor heating with porcelain tiles throughout the ground floor. The house has all of the modern technology you would expect from a bespoke build like this: a Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery (MVHR) system maintains the indoor environment of this highly insulated house, providing fresh warm air in the winter and comfort cooling in the summer, Solar Panels top up the Battery Storage with free electricity, CAT 5 cabling distributes the high speed fibre-optic internet connection throughout the house and smart lighting controls give automated and voice activated lighting.
The layout of the house also reflects the thoughtful design by the owners. An impressive entrance welcomes you in, the bespoke oak and glass staircase is the central feature of the large hall and then double doors lead you through to the exceptional open plan kitchen / breakfast room. With two sets of sliding doors and a fantastic roof lantern, this is an incredible space for entertaining. The Mereway kitchen, boasting a double Neff oven, Quartz worktops, Franke hot water tap and a Caple wine fridge, seamlessly integrates with two further reception rooms, both enjoying doors opening out on to the spacious terrace and garden beyond. One of these reception rooms is separated by glazed French doors, perfect for a home cinema room or children’s playroom.
There are two studies, ideal for those looking to work from home, alongside a boot room, cloakroom and a useful storage cupboard which has been designed to enable conversion into a three person lift if required. An inner hall leads you through to a larger than average utility room, beyond which is a side entrance hall with a staircase leading to the fifth bedroom, currently used as a home gym, and a large bedroom and en suite bathroom with underfloor heating. This space could be an ideal space for teenagers or visiting family and friends.
The principal bedroom suite has everything you could need including air-conditioning, a dressing room and en suite with electric underfloor heating, luxurious free standing bath and separate shower. There are three further generously sized bedrooms on the first floor, two with en suite bathroom/shower rooms. On the second floor is a large open landing, a further double bedroom and a modern, well-equipped family bathroom.
The south facing rear garden, generously sized and predominantly laid to lawn, is adorned with well stocked flower beds and shrubs. There is a large terrace which spans almost the full width of the house and can be assessed from the kitchen and both principal reception rooms. There is planning permission in place to allow for a glass veranda to be added over the terrace. To the front of the property is an expansive gravel driveway and a large double garage with EV charging point, room for two cars and a workshop. There are five years remaining on the NHBC warranty.
