House, Chacombe, Banbury, Oxfordshire

Set on the outskirts of sought-after Chacombe Village, this attractive country home was custom built in 2018 from characterful honey-coloured ironstone beneath a slate roof, complementing the local vernacular. The main house extends to over 4,650 sq ft, with beautifully appointed accommodation. It combines its generous proportions with a premium finish, including marble and other quality flooring, underfloor heating, Sonos sound, Cat 5 cabling and CCTV. A ground source heat pump and EV charging provide modern efficiency, while over twenty two acres of grounds complete the picture, with far-reaching views across rolling countryside.

Arranged over three floors, the house opens into an impressive light-filled reception hall with marble flooring and an ornate staircase. Designed equally for family life and entertaining, the principal reception rooms include dual-aspect sitting and entertaining rooms, a formal dining room centred around a striking stone fireplace, and a basement cinema. French doors also open from the dining room onto the terrace, extending the space outdoors. The bespoke kitchen features granite worktops, a central island and integrated Miele, Neff and Fisher & Paykel appliances. The kitchen also enjoys views across the gardens and direct access to a practical utility room. The basement also provides a pump room and bespoke wine store and a basement cinema room.

The five double bedrooms are served by contemporary en suite shower rooms, including a superb principal suite with walk-in wardrobe and French doors to a south-facing balcony. A stylish family bathroom with freestanding bath completes the first floor.
