Full Details

If you are looking for an exceptional property, with complete calm, bird song, sunny gardens, surrounded by nature with breath-taking walks and countryside, yet close to an array of wonderful villages, then this could be for you ! This immaculately presented  Four Bedroomed Detached Bungalow is situated in a semi-rural idyll in the  'The Old Walled Gardens' of the 18th-century, country mansion, Compton Verney House, with  120 acres of  classical parkland, designed by ‘Capability’ Brown.  From your doorstep you can wander across farmland paths for many miles, enjoying a coffee along the way at the Café in the grounds of Compton Park.  Property in this location is rare on the market, and presents the opportunity to reside in a truly privileged environment, normally afforded to just a few.

The property is reached via an exclusive and  elegant tree lined private driveway that takes you past a handful of prestigious,  individual detached properties. As soon as you arrive at the gated entrance you get a feel of the calm that emanates from this superb environment. Being tucked away at the end of the road, this property has absolutely no noise or nuisance, with deer, ducks and pheasants making the occasional visit, and beautiful birds chirping all day long. 

The Property 

Gently graduated paved steps lead to the front door.  Entering the property into a spacious hallway with beautiful Indian Slate floor tiles,  leading into the dining area with gorgeous Karndean Oak effect flooring and warm terracotta walls, looking out over the  beautifully planted back gardens. With door off to a spacious well planned  kitchen in apple green, with  matt cream units complementing  Karndean floors, this time in tones of grey, leading to a very useful utility room with an exterior door exiting to the side of the property. Back to the hallway a small step down takes you into the peaceful,  angular living room, dominated by absolutely glorious views over the rear gardens,  a beautifully reposing room to sit back and enjoy the lovely garden views, and in the colder months settle in next to the cosy glow of the Woodburner.

The corridor leads one way to the living space and the other to four good sized bedrooms and a lovely morning/garden room in ‘lemon squash’ sitting in-between. The accommodation has a really logical flow with some lovely angular rooms,  moving  effortlessly from day to night,  with every room offering  gorgeous garden views. The front bedroom is a really peaceful room and overlooks  ‘the secret garden’,  a  second  lawned and beautifully planted garden hidden away to the side of the property.  All decorated with great taste and with lovely natural light.  The master bedroom in mellow mocha is especially beautiful  with a dressing area and fabulous walk in shower and creamy beige porcelain wall and floor tiles.

The gardens would make  Capability’ Brown proud. - planted to be in flower and beautiful throughout the year with changing colours reflecting the seasons. Spring flowers,  Lavender, Passion Flowers, Alliums, Hydrangeas, Roses, Peonies, Fushsias, Red Robin Tree, Yew, Plum, Cherry, Apple Trees, Japanese Acer….. what really strikes me about the gardens, is the way they wrap themselves all the way around the property, creating  a single beautiful living space, in and out.  It is so peaceful here, you really have the best of both worlds, countryside, yet with village life all around.
