Description

3 Winns Close is not your usual bungalow. Architecturally designed in an innovative and stylish way, and built to exacting standards by the locally renowned team of Derek Foreman, the property is an excellent example of how lateral living has evolved, both in functionality and aesthetically.

The property is part of a small group of three houses built in 2020, effectively forming their own private close, all architecturally designed but varying in scale. The house is visually appealing upon arrival, with the mixed pallet of Western Red Cedar cladding, white render and anthracite grey framed double glazing all blending to great effect with sharp lines and soft wood.

Internally, the accommodation is cleverly arranged to make the use of the space, with vaulted ceilings accentuating the light and airy feel. The focal point of the house is the open plan living/dining/kitchen, triple aspect to the west, south and east, making it a room to enjoy throughout the day with large glazed sliding doors providing the feel of being part of the garden. It can then become a cosy evening space, with a contemporary woodburner providing a warmth alongside the under floor heating that serves the whole house. The bespoke kitchen area is complete with Island unit.

A central hall, with high ceilings and velux windows drawing in plenty of light, and with handy built in cupboards, link all the rooms. The principal double bedroom is a calm space, with direct access out to the garden, and a well fitted en suite shower room. The second bedroom is the opposite end of the house, with double aspect and built in wardrobe. This is served by a shower room and WC, whilst the utility room is a practical space, with its own external access helpful after muddy rural walks, or to hide an afternoon shopping in town.

The house has its own private parking, with a good sized Cotswold gravelled parking area in front of the house, behind a high rendered wall. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped, with paths and raised flowerbeds, leading to an open area, with raised area of well stocked herbaceous beds and shrubs, an oak pergola ideal for outside dining, and a stand of silver birch. The space has a good degree of privacy in the context of the location, and is complete with garden shed. At the front of the house is a contemporary glazed veranda, providing a delightful seating area with south to south west orientation.
