William Buckland Way, Stonesfield, OX29 8FF

An exceptional and beautifully presented contemporary village house, constructed approximately nine years ago by the highly regarded local developer Pye Homes (now Pye Homes, Blenheim).

The property occupies a particularly enviable position on the edge of this sought-after village, within the Cotswolds National Landscape and bordering open farmland, with immediate access to a network of wonderful countryside walks.

The house sits within a superb wrap-around plot that has been thoughtfully and imaginatively landscaped by the current owners.

Designed with a strong sense of place, the gardens are nature-led and wildlife-friendly, with minimal hard landscaping.

Native hedging, mature specimen trees and carefully shaped yew topiary create a series of distinct garden “rooms”, interwoven with a rich palette of herbaceous planting and charming wildflower meadows, with views across open countryside.

Internally, the house offers light-filled and beautifully balanced accommodation, enhanced by numerous windows overlooking the gardens and a calm, contemporary decorative scheme.

Double French doors from both the sitting room and the open-plan kitchen/dining space open onto an attractive terrace, perfectly positioned for outdoor dining, wildlife watching and enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside towards the parklands of Blenheim Palace.

At the heart of the home is the impressive double-aspect kitchen/dining/family room, an elegant and highly sociable space ideal for modern family living and entertaining.

The beautiful sitting room is ideal for daytime and evening relaxation: it overlooks the gardens on three sides and has a working fireplace.

Additional reception rooms, currently arranged as a study and a snug/television room, provide excellent flexibility.

The house has oak floorboards throughout, with porcelain tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms; underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and bathrooms also ensures both comfort and clean architectural lines.

The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous, offering excellent storage and a stylish en-suite shower room.

The second bedroom also benefits from a well-appointed en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, while the remaining two bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

All first-floor bathrooms benefit from underfloor heating. An integral double garage, with electric door, provides internal access via the utility room.

A generous driveway offers parking for a number of vehicles and includes an EV charging point.

The property is well insulated and energy efficient, with a Worcester Bosch boiler, Gigaclear fibre broadband connected to the property and CAT 6 network points throughout.

Further features include smart lighting, smart utility meters and a burglar alarm system. Subject to the necessary consents, the house offers scope for further adaptation if required.
