A stunning architect-designed oak framed house, approached off a no-through road and with outstanding views across from Woodchester Valley to Amberley, there is an internal lift to all floors. Oakstone House is a unique contemporary home built around a Welsh Oak frame with natural Cotswold stone and light-rendered elevations under a Welsh slate roof. The property enjoys beautifully presented and highly versatile accommodation across three floors, measuring just over 4,600 sq ft, with ample room for entertaining, working and relaxing. The house was completed in 2016 to exacting standards and benefits from the remaining balance of a 10-year NHBC guarantee. Of particular note on the ground floor is the hall, giving rise to a spectacular triple height space reaching to the uppermost second floor with cascading natural light flooding the space. On the second floor, the kitchen/family room and living rooms are sensational, with high vaulted ceilings exposing fabulous oak rafters and beams, and have the best views of all. Other highlights include a new high specification German Leicht kitchen with all new appliances including a top of range Qooker, CUBE tap and Insinkerator waste disposal unit. There’s a four-person lift situated in the rear utility/pantry that can take a wheelchair to all floors. There is a potential to create a self-contained flat on the ground floor. The house is thermally very efficient due to exceptional insulation, thermal glass and an efficient heating system. Gardens and grounds: Approached via a tarmac drive, which sweeps up from Atcombe Road between Cotswold stone walls to a three-bay extra-wide carport with parking and turning space in front. The garage has a large upper floor that is carpeted and has plumbing and electricity. At the end of the drive, there is an electrical connection for driveway gating if required. Above the carport is a large studio/workshop, and on one side, there are some useful outbuildings, including a spacious garden mower shed. In addition, there is a bin and a log store. Immediately in front of the house is a wide flagstone paved terrace flanked by clipped, beautiful, planted borders. The garden has been professionally landscaped and planted for ease of maintenance. A gravel path winds its way up to the southwest of the house to a second sun terrace and on up to the top of the garden, where a third paved patio is positioned to capture the last of the afternoon sun. There is an area of lawn at the top, part of which is shaded by a mature Lime tree. Both the driveway and garden paths have lighting installed. Services: Mains electricity, water and drainage. Mitsubishi ECODAN air source heat pump. All rooms have underfloor heating with room temperature controllers.
