Description

This exceptional and carefully-designed property sits on a no-through road in the convenient and well-connected village of Frilford.

Part barn conversion, part new build, Ash Tree Barn offers a stylish blend of contemporary living with the space and character of a conversion. Built in 2020, the house features a Cotswold Stone and composite board clad facade and stone roof tiles. It is super insulated and hi-tech including an air source heat pump, remote controlled blinds and a fully integrated WIFI and CCTV system. The current owners have added stunning original features and bespoke cabinetry throughout, which provides plentiful storage on every level.

The wide entrance door opens into a generous hallway with large light porcelain floor tiles which continue throughout most of the ground floor along with the underfloor heating. There is a good-sized study, boot room, cloakroom and utility room next to the back door which has a useful dog wash sink and a full length integrated fridge and separate freezer. A glass link seamlessly connects the new house and the original stone barn in which the kitchen/ dining room is situated. This is a stunning space with a vaulted ceiling, bespoke lighting, a top of the range gas stove in the style of a wood burner and bi-fold doors which lead directly onto the garden terrace and pergola. The hi-tech kitchen is made by the renowned British manufacturers Macintosh and has a quartz-topped island, wine fridge and fully integrated appliances including two ovens, a steamer and a microwave.

At the other end of the house the atrium library is an elegant double height space with a feature parquet wall and huge windows overlooking the back garden. To the front, there is an impressive wide spiral staircase and spacious and comfortable sitting room with full length bi-fold doors leading to the entertaining terrace.

The first floor continues the theme of immaculate decoration in subtle tones, bespoke joinery and a general feeling of light and space. Like the ground floor, there is underfloor heating in all the upstairs rooms. The principal bedroom suite features two 'Juliet' balconies', a dressing room and a bathroom with a large walk-in shower. There are a further two double bedrooms and family bathroom. Carpeted stairs lead to the second floor, where there is a spacious guest suite including a wall of eaves storage and a further double bedroom.

The sunny walled rear garden has been carefully planned by the owners. West facing, it features a full-length entertaining terrace and Louver-roofed Pergola, which can be closed to offer shade or rain protection. There is also a children's play area, a lawn, utility area with well-built shed and access to the double garage. The garage is a car lover's paradise with tool storage, electric roller doors, specialist floor tiles and a loft space with ladder. To the front of the property, there is parking for several cars behind electric gates and EV charging, and a small parcel of land on the other side of the lane which will be sold with the house.
