Description:

Stoneridge House is a superbly proportioned country home, beautifully laid out with an abundance of natural light throughout. The impressive, vaulted entrance hall sets the tone to this fabulous home which is both welcoming and adapted to contemporary living with cosy corners and versatile accommodation.

The raised level sitting room with wood burner and large windows overlooking the garden is a lovely spot to relax and unwind with a good book. The living room with a large fireplace and wood burner is ideal for entertaining or simply gathering the family together for a movie night. 

The kitchen/ dining/ family room is clearly the heart of the house and a fantastic room in which to host family and friends. Designed by Dominic Ash, the kitchen has plenty of worktop and storage space and the open plan layout lends itself superbly to everyday dining and festive gatherings. The seating area leads through to the garden room with its wood burner and doors to the terrace. The study is perfect for working from home and could also make a wonderful snug/ library room. 

Off the kitchen, the hallway leads through to the spa which comprises a heated indoor swimming pool with a Fastlane pro counter-current system, steam and sauna rooms, a changing room with shower and wc. Along the hall is the plant room and the utility room which is ideal for muddy wellies and keeping the piles of laundry out of sight! The utility leads through to the double integral garage. There is also a door leading to the front driveway. A rear staircase leads to the first floor and comprises two bedrooms and a bathroom. This wing of the house could easily be adapted to offer superb self-contained accommodation.

The principal bedrooms are accessed via the main staircase in the entrance hall. On the first floor is the master bedroom with en suite bathroom and dressing room. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second floor comprises two bedrooms and a bathroom. All the rooms have been thoughtfully laid out to provide ample discreet storage, plenty of natural light and comfortable living spaces.

Outside the rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, interspersed with a variety of fruit trees. The terrace is ideal for al fresco dining and summer BBQS and has lovely views over the paddock and valley beyond. There is a William Holland copper Alvius tub, a small pond, and two timber sheds to the side. There is tractor access to the side of the property and to the garden leading to the paddock. The front garden has been beautifully landscaped to include a box parterre ‘maze’ and the ‘in and out’ gravelled driveway provides ample parking alongside the double garage. There is also an electric car charging point.

Vendors' thoughts: "Stoneridge House is a big, sturdy house but on walking inside you discover a different side; we discovered, and have loved, the natural light from the open-plan layout, the cosy corners, the space, both inside and out for all of the family (and pets!) to enjoy, and the amazing views down into and across the valley, all in a private and tranquil position."

In a nutshell: A superb and generously proportioned Cotswold home in a fabulous village.
