OUTSIDE
The profile of the building is low within its plot, designed to make it extremely private and barely visible from the roadside. Automatic gates open to reveal the house, gardens and driveway which leads to the triple bay oak framed garage, two of which are open bays. The gardens surround the house but the principal grounds, that extend to over an acre, are at the rear of the house and are a beautiful expanse for a home of this stature. Facing the River Churn, that gentle meanders at the boundary, the grounds are simply stunning. Naturally wooded, as this pocket of The Cotswolds is, they gently drop away from the house providing a large area of level lawn which meets large wild flower banks and mature trees. A large, raised desked terrace, is accessed from the principal reception rooms and is the ideal space to take in the views. At the bottom of the garden is a further decked area, providing strategic seating and an idyllic spot for children to play within the elements of the grounds. The design of the gardens has been led entirely by the sites unique nature, and the setting is a fundamental element to the overall feel of the house.
