Vendors' thoughts: "We fell in love with Oakwood House because of its modern and spacious accommodation, coupled with elevated views over the Chedworth valley. Its secluded positioning off the historic Monarch’s Way bridle path adds further charm and character to this beautiful home.One of the many delights that Chedworth has to offer are the beautiful walks through its unspoilt village and surrounding countryside. Our pet Westie, Monty, loves his daily walks and has made many doggy friends along the way!We found that the village hall provides an abundance of activity and is very much at the heart of this thriving and friendly community. There really is something for everyone.We will be saddened to leave Oakwood House but happy in the knowledge that the new owners will find happiness and fulfilment in their new home."
In a nutshell: Superb contemporary living with beautiful countryside views.
Property Description
Built in 2022, Oakwood House is a fabulous Cotswold stone house, thoughtfully designed to provide practical contemporary living space combined with Cotswold charm and character. Finished to a very high spec, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, the house offers generous proportions with bright and light rooms and rural views to the rear.
The open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room is clearly the heart of the house and a fabulous room in which to entertain family and friends. Bi-folding doors lead to the terrace and garden beyond allowing for superb indoor/outdoor living in the warmer months.
The kitchen is well equipped with all the necessary modern appliances and there is plenty of worktop and storage space. The kitchen island works perfectly for morning catch ups over coffee and for putting the world to rights in the evening whilst cooking up a feast.
The living room with views over the front garden is ideal for quiet relaxing moments after a long country walk and the study is ideal for working from home or as a home library. The utility room, with it’s door leading to the garden, keeps the piles of washing out of sight and is handy for wet dogs and muddy wellies after a day exploring the Cotswolds!
Upstairs comprises four bedrooms, two with en suite bathrooms, and a family bathroom. All the rooms are generously proportioned and are bathed in an abundance of natural light.
Outside, the landscaped garden is predominantly laid to lawn with delightful views over the neighbouring countryside. The terrace is perfect for enjoying sundowners and al fresco dining in the summer and the private gated driveway offers ample parking, alongside a double garage with home office above.
