High quality modern living with space and privacy.
Swerbrook has recently been painstakingly modernised throughout bringing this picturesque Hornton stone house into the 21st century with the expectant comforts and versatility. More importantly the property does full justice to its divine private setting bringing the home and garden together – all to provide a truly dynamic home where village living meets a country retreat.
Both properties are of Hornton stone construction under either a Stonesfield slate or thatch roof.
Wealth of period features compliment the architecture and include open fireplaces, mullion windows, deep window bords, window seats, leaded lights and exposed timbers.
Laid out over four floors Swerbrook offers split level living, with the kitchen/breakfast room at an elevated position to take in the views out across your garden and the Swere Brook below. The idyllic wraparound country garden can be viewed from within each room offering a calm escape from city living.
Near to the house is Moore Cottage, the quintessential Cotswolds’ cottage. Ideal for weekend guests and holiday short lets and is one of the last remaining thatched properties in the village.
Lapsed planning permission and Listed Building consent exists for a substantial ground floor extension to create a generous kitchen/breakfast room, utility room and entrance hall (Planning Ref 19/00823/HHD)
Externally there are lovely gardens that gently fall away from the house and are predominately laid to lawn interspersed with a wildflower meadow, orchard, herb garden, meandering Swere Brook and mill race.
The property is accessed via a discreet, treelined lane to automatic electric timber gates.
Footpath access to the surrounding countryside begins right from the front gate, so the surrounding countryside, villages and renowned country pubs can be easily explored on foot and bicycle.
There are numerous seating areas dotted throughout, perfect for summer entertaining.
Oak framed garage next to the main house provides space for garden machinery and storage and a fully kitted out gym, which could also be used as a home office, complete with contemporary lighting, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and TV connection.
This is space, privacy and views personified. There is little light pollution, no passing traffic, no footpaths and being positioned in a private edge of village setting, this is a lovely country property, rarely found.
Other must haves are an OX7 postcode and, of course, easy proximity to Soho Farmhouse and Daylesford Organic Farm shop, merely underline and complement this glorious gem.

I have always been intrigued by this amazing hidden gem. Given its private, protected position it was always difficult to fully understand just what it comprised. And that is why its needs to be physically seen to fully appreciate it.
