Far End is accessed via a lengthy gravel driveway leading to a turning and parking area in front of the house. An architectural marvel, the house is clad in oak, presenting a striking contrast to the traditional Cotswold stone properties that characterize the region. Seamlessly blending with its natural surroundings, Far End embodies contemporary design while celebrating the stunning Cotswold views. Constructed from concrete and wood, the house showcases exquisite design and impeccable finishes, featuring exceptional joinery, metalwork, wooden floors, and expansive glazed windows. Insulated with sheep's wool, Far End boasts an energy efficiency rating of A.

The spacious accommodation spans four floors, with the expansive kitchen/breakfast/living room as a standout feature. One end houses an elegant Bulthaup kitchen, complete with a large stainless steel preparation island and dining area. At the opposite end, a cosy sitting area includes a built-in log burner with a heat-retaining stone wall, large sliding doors, and electric internal and external blinds. The doors open at either end, offering breath-taking views of the gardens, grounds, and beyond.

The versatile lower ground floor can be adapted to suit the owners' preferences, currently serving as a media room with a drop-down screen and space for a built-in projector, storage rooms, an exercise room, and a shower. With a door leading outside, the media room could also function as a guest or staff apartment.

The first and second floors host the bedroom accommodations, providing a well-balanced ratio of bedrooms to bathrooms. This includes the luxurious master bedroom suite, featuring a dressing area and an adjacent balcony accessible from the landing.

The ground floor encompasses a welcoming reception hall, a cosy sitting room, a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room, and a utility room. The sitting room, complete with a log burner, invites guests to unwind and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. The fully fitted kitchen, adorned with marble work surfaces and a double Belfast sink, affords lovely views over the expansive grounds and beyond.

Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms and a bathroom provide ample space and comfort for guests. The Cottage's triple-glazed windows not only contribute to energy efficiency but also enhance the peaceful atmosphere, allowing guests to fully appreciate the breath-taking scenery that envelops this charming haven.

The gardens artfully embrace the existing mature trees, showcasing lush lawns and charming informal wildflower areas. Meandering paths grant access to the orchard, potting shed/ garden store, and greenhouse, which boasts raised vegetable and herb beds. The paths lead to a natural swimming pond, accompanied by a standalone wood-fired sauna.

Adjacent to the house and accessible from the kitchen, a spacious entertaining deck offers partial coverage and horizontal electric blinds for added shade when needed. The covered section features a cosy seating area, BBQ/outdoor dining, and an entertaining space equipped with a basin, built-in hot plate, and stone preparation island. At one end of the decking, a magnificent magnolia tree stands, while a box hedge parterre lined with gravel pathways adorns the side.

Illuminated pathways and up-lit trees encircle the house, creating a magical ambiance at night. Beyond the formal gardens surrounding the property, a level grass area, once a grass tennis court, is ideal for croquet.
