Fossebridge, Gloucestershire, GL54 3JP

A spacious and modern six-bedroom modern house in a highly desirable rural setting close to Northleach and the Fosse Way, with stunning panoramic country views.

Description Occupying an enviable elevated rural position 0.3 miles from the historic Fosse Way, Listercombe is an elegant modern country home extending to approximately 2,400 sq ft.

Constructed in 2014, the property has been thoughtfully designed with a handsome, symmetrical façade and timeless architectural styling that lends it the character and presence of a much older home.

Built to exacting standards, the house combines exceptional energy efficiency and environmental performance with outstanding levels of comfort, creating a home that is economical to run and enjoys a consistently pleasant indoor climate throughout the year.

Screened by mature trees and surrounded by attractive gardens, it enjoys a wonderfully private and rural setting, with far-reaching views across the rolling Cotswold countryside.

Downstairs, the mostly open plan living space is ideally configured for busy family life, with a bright and contemporary kitchen/dining room segueing into an equally light and spacious sitting room, with French doors opening to the garden.

The kitchen is appointed in attractive cream cabinetry, including a central island, and has a number of both integrated and freestanding appliances.

Underfloor heating extends throughout the ground and first floors. The ground floor is completed by a cloakroom/WC, a utility room and a boot room opening to the garden.

The first-floor bedrooms are set around a central landing, with the principal bedroom a particular highlight.

A soaring vaulted ceiling and tall windows create a wonderfully fresh and open feel, while a wall of wardrobes provides ample storage and there is an en suite bathroom with both bath and shower.

The remaining three bedrooms on the first floor share a family bathroom, while on the second floor, the two very spacious bedrooms are joined by a modern shower room, the ideal space for guests or older children.

Outside: Listercombe is accessed via a quiet single-track lane which links the Fosse Way to Chedworth and a handful of other charming villages.

A walled driveway leads off the lane and provides space for several cars as well as access to a detached single garage with an integrated storage shed to the rear.

The garden wraps around the west and south sides of the house, with the lawns sloping down to a large, paved terrace adjoining the sitting room making a sheltered spot for alfresco dining.

The garden features several trees, climbing plants and shrubs, with excellent potential for further landscaping.
