This former farmhouse presents a remarkable opportunity to develop a modern country home in the picturesque Cotswolds, surrounded by approximately two acres of mature grounds and woodlands. With planning permission already in place for an extensive architectural reconfiguration, investors can transform this property into a distinctive residence that harmonizes traditional rural charm with contemporary living.
Accessed via a scenic tree-lined driveway, the property offers both seclusion and connection to its stunning environment. The proposed design includes three substantial ground-floor extensions aimed at enhancing the living spaces, which will be designed to embrace the natural surroundings through expansive windows that invite abundant light and stunning views.
The envisioned layout spans around 360 sq m, featuring five bedrooms, complete with a guest suite and an impressive principal suite that incorporates generous storage options. The new arrangement thoughtfully positions practical areas away from the main living zones, preserving a serene atmosphere throughout.
A focus on high-quality materials will ensure that the external appearance respects Cotswold architectural traditions while infusing modern elegance into its design. The use of local stonework with lime mortar establishes authenticity, complemented by bespoke cast stone details that add character. Meanwhile, modern roofing elements will align aesthetically with the existing structure.
Inside, a warm palette defined by natural materials such as rich timber and stone aims to create inviting yet sophisticated spaces ideal for family living and entertaining alike. With elements like bronze fixtures enhancing the luxurious feel, these interiors promise a refined ambiance while maintaining a strong connection to nature.
Set amidst tranquil gardens and woodlands, with diverse landscapes perfect for outdoor activities and gatherings, this property is enhanced by its unique reclaimed glasshouse—an architectural gem that could serve various purposes from dining to wellness retreats.
Situated conveniently near Chipping Norton’s vibrant social scene and well-connected transport links to London Paddington and Oxford, this property caters to both those seeking idyllic countryside lifestyle without sacrificing accessibility. The potential for expansion exists with an adjacent two-acre plot available separately.
