This high-performance double glazing is as much a design feature as it is a functional element, combining style with sustainability.
Outside there’s a fantastic enclosed garden with excellent entertaining spaces, mature trees and shrubs, well-stocked flower borders and plenty of room for children to explore and play.
And the location is fantastic too! Rowans is perfectly positioned for those who desire the tranquillity of rural living without sacrificing convenience. It’s surrounded by picturesque countryside yet exceptionally well connected with the A34 and train services within easy reach.
We’re sure you’ll want to hear more about Rowans, so let’s fill you in on the finer details:
Light and space in abundance
As you approach Rowans, its striking façade of brick and wood cladding immediately captures your attention. Rowans is one of just three individually designed homes that offer a thoughtful design and meticulous construction, along with elegant fixtures and fittings and a host of modern touches.
The large gravel driveway in front of the house will comfortably accommodate four cars, and there’s an EV charging point and detached garage too.
Stepping into Rowans, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hall that exudes warmth and sophistication. Beneath the oak stairs, bespoke storage solutions ensure that every inch of space is utilised efficiently, maintaining the home’s clean, uncluttered aesthetic. There’s a handy downstairs WC here too.
To the left of the entrance hall, a bright and airy study with a charming bay window offers the perfect space for a home office, providing a quiet retreat with views of the front garden.
The elegant 16.5ft x 14.5ft sitting room, situated to the right, is a haven of relaxation and is decorated in neutral tones with engineered oak flooring underfoot. The feature fireplace with inset wood burner is a lovely focal point and provides cosy warmth in winter. With double doors opening onto the super kitchen/diner, this is the perfect space both for entertaining, or relaxing with the family.
The heart of the home
The heart of this lovely home is undoubtedly the superb 28ft x 18.4ft kitchen/diner, which runs across the entire width of the house, offering direct access onto the garden and far-reaching views onto open countryside beyond.
This impressive room is designed for both everyday family living and effortless entertaining. The kitchen, with its sleek quartz work surfaces and state-of-the-art Bosch appliances, is as functional as it is stylish. Ample storage space ensures that all your culinary tools are at hand, while the layout encourages social interaction, making meal preparation a joyous, communal experience.
The dining area, with its panoramic views of the garden and fields beyond, is a space that inspires. Whether you are enjoying a casual breakfast with the family or hosting a dinner party, the ever-changing landscape outside provides a stunning backdrop. In the warmer months, throw open the bi-fold doors and extend your living space onto the patio to enjoy alfresco dining surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.
A sanctuary of sleep
Upstairs, the first floor reveals four generously proportioned bedrooms offering the ultimate in comfort and privacy. The principal suite is a true retreat, featuring a luxurious en-suite bathroom and a Juliette balcony that offers sweeping views of the idyllic countryside.
The guest bedroom, also with an en-suite, ensures that visitors are afforded the same level of comfort, while the two additional bedrooms are perfect for children, guests, or as additional office space. Each room is thoughtfully designed, with built-in wardrobes that provide ample storage without compromising on space or style.
Glorious Gardens
The rear garden at Rowans is more than just an outdoor space—it is an extension of the home’s living area and a sanctuary for those who appreciate the beauty of nature. Laid to lawn with attractive borders, the garden is a peaceful haven where you can relax and reconnect with the natural world. From the vibrant blooms of summer to the crisp, clear nights of winter, the garden offers a front-row seat to the changing seasons.
Nature enthusiasts will particularly enjoy this garden. It is not uncommon to spot squirrels, pheasants, or even a muntjac deer wandering through the fields, while red kites and barn owls soar overhead. On clear nights, the full moon rises over the fields, casting a magical glow that transforms the landscape.
More to discover
Rowans is more than just a beautiful home; it is a property with endless possibilities. The large detached garage, equipped with light, power, and an electric car charging point, offers ample space for vehicles and storage. Additionally, both the house and garage have been constructed with future expansion in mind—the roof voids are ready for conversion, offering the potential to create additional living space should you desire.
The home’s smart zonal heating system, underfloor heating, and burglar alarm provide the latest in modern convenience, while the plumbing for a water softener ensures that even the smallest details have been considered.
A fantastic location
Situated in the hamlet of Rowstock, within the parish of East Hendred, the home is surrounded by picturesque countryside, with numerous footpaths offering endless opportunities for walking, running, and exploring. The rolling hills and lush greenery have become an integral part of life here, providing a backdrop that is as beautiful as it is calming.
Despite its rural setting, Rowans is exceptionally well-connected. The nearby town of Didcot, just four miles away, offers a comprehensive range of shops, leisure amenities, and a fast, regular rail service to London Paddington, making the commute to the capital both quick and convenient. The A34 is also within easy reach, providing direct access to the M4 and M40 motorways, and placing Oxford, Abingdon, and Wantage just a short drive away.
