Handsome family home with fantastic rolling countryside views.

Description

Fayrefield is a magnificent family home which was lovingly designed to incorporate the traditional Cotswolds house with the high-end luxury and specifications of a bespoke contemporary property.

Nestled behind electric gates and approached via a winding tree-lined driveway you are immediately struck by a great sense of arrival as you take in the 2 acres of landscaped gardens and the rolling rural views towards Lower Swell.

This handsome house sits on a height allowing you to maximise the enjoyment of the country view which penetrates every room in the house. The formal entrance to the house faces a stunning courtyard with a water feature and ample parking defined by clever landscaping blending this space into the surrounding land and creating a soft exterior which is replicated around the house by the planting of beautiful trees and fauna. As you enter the triple-height hallway your eye is drawn to the bespoke oak wooden staircase which is framed by a stunning chandelier which sets the tone for the rest of the house. The drawing room is to the left of the hallway and upon entering this room the high ceilings, the impressive mullion windows, parquet wood floor, open fire place and double doors onto the side patio give it a sense of grandeur and a fabulous room to capture those memorable events in life. The heart of the house is the open plan bespoke kitchen/living room. This part of the house really allows you to appreciate the views and the living room is framed by three stunning arched doorways leading to the south facing patio and to the sunken fire pit. This outside living space adds another dimension to this house and can be enjoyed for those long summer nights or with the fire pit going during those cosy winter evenings. The landscape designer has cut into the land grass steps which leads you to an area of wild meadow and to the Cotswold stone wall creating your boundary. Off the living room is the study or additional snug area. The kitchen and living room are separated by a stone feature with a gas fire and the kitchen is beautifully designed with a circular breakfast bar attached to a solid marble island with a wine fridge and ample storage. The 5-door Everhot oven is top of the range with a wonderful destressed mirror as a splash back plus the ventilation system means that your air is filtered throughout the house controlling the air temperature throughout the year. As you move along to the secondary hallway there is an additional pantry, laundry room, and one of the two downstairs guest WC. The house has underfloor heating, state of the art surround sound system and high tech security all neatly hidden behind bespoke carpentry.

As you ascend the oak staircase or if you wished to use the internal lift you arrive on the top floor of the house which is this wonderfully bright landing extending into an L shaped corridor. The principle suite with its pitched ceiling creates a sense of space and has been designed to ensure maximum storage with a large built in wardrobe running along the wall but also there is a dressing room leading to a large en suite with bath, his and her sinks and double width shower. As you move along the corridor you have 4 double bedrooms all with individually designed en suites and again boasting those pitched ceilings.

Also present is a large 2 bed annexe which is an amazing space for quests or could be a fantastic gym/wellness space or if you wished to work away from the main house a very tranquil space to work from. There is a two-carport adjacent to the annexe.
