Oysterwell House Oysterwell House is a delightful Cotswold stone farmhouse, under a reconstituted stone tile roof. The house is situated at the end of a long privately owned drive on the edge of a large Cotswold principally Ash and Beech wood. The house is situated in the middle of its own land in an idyllic unspoilt location. One cannot see another house from the property and it sits in the middle of its own oasis within the wood. The house has been the subject of an extensive renovation and restoration program during the current owner’s tenure and it is now extremely well presented and provides very good family accommodation, whilst also benefiting from a separate annexe/flat for use for either family purposes or having letting potential. The accommodation briefly comprises hall, with a cosy sitting room adjoining with a wood burner. The kitchen/breakfast room provides a delightful light room with a modern fitted kitchen including an electric/gas range, fridge freezer, dishwasher and twin sink with a large dining area. From the inner hall, a door leads to the magnificent drawing room which is a full height room with exposed roof timbers and the gable wall being totally glazed. There is a free standing wood burning stove. This room is very adaptable in its use as either a drawing room/dining room or one large entertaining room. From the hall, stairs rise to the first floor to the master bedroom suite with an en suite bathroom and leading through to a separate dressing room. There is also a guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Stairs rise to the second floor where there are two further double bedrooms with a family bathroom with separate bath and shower cubicle. From the hall, an original stone staircase descends to the lower ground floor where there is a wine store with extensive wine racks and a boot room, leading through to the utility room with the main boiler and with space and plumbing for a washing machine, and a large Belfast sink.

The Gardens On the southern side of the house there is a private formal garden, surrounded by a Cotswold stone wall with a large paved terrace running beside the house, making it ideal for outdoor entertainment and eating and a large lawn with a substantial herbaceous and shrub border. On the other side of the house is a well-tended and manicured grass tennis court. Adjoining the house there is a range of timber stables with 3 stables and a tack room, currently housing the second boiler. The house sits in the middle of its 5.75 acres, much of which is woodland but with extensive grassland lying beneath the trees. A large amount of thinning has taken place so giving fantastic vistas through the woodland to the surrounding countryside. The woodland is principally beech and ash and has an understudy of spring bulbs and wild flowers so giving a carpet of colour for the first few months of the year.
