The Property
Nestled away in the heart of “William Morris’s village” of Kelmscott, Jobbs Close enjoys a private and secluded setting framed by beautiful gardens and surrounding countryside. This exceptionally handsome house built of Cotswold stone under a natural stone roof is Listed Grade II and a blue chip example of Cotswold charm personified.
Presented to the highest of standards, the house has also evolved over recent years to provide a skilful blend of period features with modern family requirements. The principal reception rooms are well proportioned with lovely views over the garden. Attention to detail is second to none, window seats and an inglenook fire place give the formal rooms a feel of character. The Kitchen/Dining extension won the RIBA ‘Town and Country’ award for Best Extension in Wessex (Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and the Channel Islands) in 2003. The intuitive use of space and natural light through a bay window is something to behold. The bedroom accommodation is versatile. There are three bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor plus a fourth bedroom and shower room on the ground floor.
Outside established south-facing gardens wrap around the house and are cleverly compartmentalised into rooms each with a different feel. There is a beautifully landscaped sun terraces suitable for alfresco dining and entertaining. The purpose-built multifunction stone outbuilding is impressive. The Annexe serves several purposes and houses an ensuite bedroom, single garage, sauna/utility room, music studio with superb home office above.
