Description
This rare opportunity presents a chance to build a large, contemporary country house on a stunning plot with exceptional, unimpeded west-facing panoramic views over an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property, designed by renowned architects James Ghorst, has planning permission for a replacement dwelling of approximately 5,000 square feet, plus an annexe and barn. The design allows for flexibility, enabling the new owner to proceed with the approved design or create their own vision. The house is built into the side of a hill, offering "upside-down living" with bedrooms opening onto the terraces and gardens. The interior features a striking double-height sitting room, a family kitchen and dining room, and a home office. The property also includes a separate annexe, a tennis court, and 14 acres of land, including two pastures and an orchard. The location is highly sought after, with the villages of Sibford Gower and Sibford Ferris nearby, and the market towns of Chipping Norton and Banbury within easy reach.
