Set in the charming Cotswolds village of Oddington, this four bedroom family home was extended and renovated to an exceptional standard in 2023. Stripped to its bare bones, the house and gardens were thoughtfully redesigned to suit the new owner and her adult family and decorated with rich, patterned wallpapers and a vibrant palette that adds depth and character to each room. The redesign harmonises modern amenities with traditional English interiors, making the house practical, stylish and timeless. The ground floor unfolds through a series of wonderfully atmospheric reception spaces. At its centre is an impressive, newly built drawing room, where a vaulted ceiling, open fireplace and arched windows create a dramatic sense of volume, while a separate reception room offers a more intimate place to retreat. Between the two, a dining room connects naturally to the kitchen, making the layout feel both sociable and easy. The kitchen itself is fitted with bespoke cabinetry, granite worktops and a statement Lacanche range, with a utility room and guest cloakroom neatly tucked away. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom is particularly well arranged, with a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom, while the remaining two bedrooms are served by additional bathrooms on the same level. Above the garage, a separate guest room provides useful ancillary accommodation that would work equally well for visitors, older children, a home office or studio. Outside, the gardens are a major part of the appeal, with a beautifully landscaped terrace creating a natural setting for long summer lunches and evening drinks. There is also a greenhouse, a shed and a detached garage, giving the house a quietly practical edge beneath its decorative charm. Oddington remains one of the Cotswolds’ most desirable villages: picturesque, deeply rooted and brilliantly placed. The Fox at Oddington and The Horse & Groom are both nearby, while Stow-on-the-Wold and Kingham are within easy reach for shopping, trains and everyday essentials. Daylesford Organic, Soho Farmhouse and Estelle Manor are all a short drive away, placing some of the region’s best-loved addresses within easy reach, while excellent schools in Cheltenham and Oxford make this an especially appealing full-time or weekend base.
