5 bedroom detached house for sale

An immaculate, energy efficient, quality village home.

Description

Constructed in 2009, Chestnut House is one of only 2 such properties, built in natural Cotswold stone under a slate roof, offering immaculately presented accommodation laid out over three floors.

The property is particularly energy efficient, with heating and hot water provided by a ground source heat pump, which takes energy from the ground and converts this to heating and hot water. There is, therefore, no requirement for oil which is the customary heating source in this area. The ground floor rooms are heated by underfloor heating whilst there are conventional radiators to the first and second floors.

All windows are double glazed, there is a specialist Danskan wood burning stove in the Drawing Room. There is a 4500 litre rainwater harvesting system in the front garden. The double garage, to the rear of the property, has been fully insulated and 3 phase electricity installed. This is currently used as a workshop, and may be ideal for those looking for space to pursue a similar interest.

The front door leads into an entrance hall, with oak effect Amtico flooring, with the kitchen and dining rooms at the front of the house. The kitchen is fully fitted, with a range style cooker, and a utility room off. The drawing room lies to the rear of the house, with Everest bi-fold doors out to the south facing Cotswold stone patio area. A study and cloakroom are also on this floor. On the first floor lies the master suite, with full bathroom and dressing room. Two other good sized bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities are also on this floor. On the second floor are two bedrooms (one currently used as a study) and a bathroom.

The gardens lie principally to the south side of the house and are level, and laid to lawns with most attractive and well planted flower and shrub borders. Cotswold stone pathways run around the house, and there is a summer house and garden shed. To the end of the garden lies the detached garage, currently used as a workshop, with two electronic up and over doors.
