Luxury living redefined
An incredible opportunity to not just own a stunning, luxury home in a fantastic location, but also to be able to have input into the finer details of a property that represents the future of sustainability.
An exclusive collection of 5 new, luxury, carbon-negative properties in the village of Crowmarsh Gifford, just over a mile outside Wallingford. These bespoke properties are part of their own private gated development and are constructed with every modern, smart home and energy efficient consideration in mind, yet tastefully clad in beautiful, traditional Cotswold stone. All 5 properties feature a top floor principal suite as well as an incredible, spacious basement with 3m high ceilings and MVHR air flow; ready for a snug, home cinema, gym, bar, games room or virtually anything else you can imagine.
Ready for occupation by March 2025 and available to secure now during the construction phase, these spacious properties offer incredible value as well as unmatched luxury with a conveniently short lead time before they are ready to move into, fully finished and decorated and customised to your specifications.
And it’s important to stress that an awful lot is included here, so not only can you choose and design elements such as flooring, tiling and kitchens, but you also benefit from brand new appliances and much more as part of your purchase. Please enquire for more details.
What’s more, these are houses built with energy efficiency at the forefront of the design, seamlessly integrating state of the art features into the overall design and build. Which is why they are being sold with Pearcroft’s 5-year zero energy bills guarantee (1)
Enviably handsome, both outside and in
Tucked away at the end of a no through road sits the gated entrance to this exclusive five home development. Set amongst landscaped communal areas with mature plants and trees, lighting and sound proofing for extra privacy, these unique properties sit handsomely clad in attractive Cotswold stone.
Despite the beguiling traditional appearance however, this four-story detached house is as sustainably and ecologically modern as can be under the surface.
First impressions
You enter a wide, light hallway with clever built-in storage for coats and shoes. Moving through the hall you pass the living room on your left – a large but cosy room with windows looking out to the front of the property.
Opposite the door to the living room is the entrance to the beautiful kitchen
The heart of the home
The kitchen itself is a bespoke installation bursting with smart appliances (all energy efficient of course) and custom cabinetry with soft close hinges. The breakfast bar and worktops can be chosen from exquisite granite, marble or silestone and there is no shortage of inspiration for budding chefs with an integrated larder fridge, built-in microwave oven, single oven with slide-and-hide functionality, 5-ring induction hob with integrated extractor and of course an undercounter single-zone wine cooler cabinet.
When it comes to cleaning up there’s a fully integrated dishwasher and a Quooker instant hot water and filtered water system for both hot and cold. Bifold doors open on to the garden whilst the adjacent dining area provides a perfect place to entertain.
Through the door opposite the central kitchen island, you enter the pantry, downstairs WC and the Utility Room which comes complete with a top brand washing machine and tumble drier and continues the quality of the kitchen cabinetry. The rear of the dining area connects you directly to the garden via bifold doors ensuring that the social flow of this entire space can be extended to include the rear garden.
And so to bed
The second floor houses the sumptuous Principal Suite and is quite the haven of escape and relaxation. Quiet, private and grand in scale, with a dressing area, bathroom and separate WC. The Bathroom area features a high-end walk-in shower and double width sink while the opulent feel is further enhanced by the freestanding bath and dressing area.
As with all areas of the house, the home-networked ethernet ports provide rock-solid internet connection while touches like smart plugs with USB-C ports ensure flawless device compatibility and connection. When it comes to bed time, the electric Velux windows with blackout blinds make getting ready for bed a breeze.
The first-floor features four spacious double bedrooms, two with ensuites, as well as a further family bathroom finished to the same exacting standards.
Extended living
You might be forgiven for thinking that was all of the accommodation but as is always the case, Pearcroft Developments have gone above and beyond to maximise the plot and create something special.
From the stairs in the hallway, you can continue down to the basement level, which contains 2 additional rooms as well as storage and a plant room.
The first of these rooms makes an ideal gym or perhaps a playroom or TV room for the kids. Alternatively, this could be the perfect space for that hobby you have been wanting to get into.
Next door is an incredible, generous and again versatile space. Envisaged as a cosy living room space and cinema room with its pre-installed screen and ceiling speakers, it’s also a perfect large games room, bigger gym or anything else you fancy.
The basement features its own dedicated purged MVHR system ensuring fresh and clean air at all times and clever lighting solutions make things feel just as homely and comfortable as the rest of the house.
Lastly, there’s also a plant room and store area to keep the “working” parts of the house nice and tidily tucked away.
Outside spaces
Elsewhere outside, the garden space is enhanced by fastidious attention to detail. Featheredge fencing, Indian sandstone or porcelain patios and pathways, enhanced outdoor lighting and professional landscaping and planting; all combine to create a beautiful, relaxing space from the day you move in.
At the front of the house, there’s more planting enhancing the already significant kerb appeal, a Marshalls block paved driveway providing two parking spaces as well as the single garage.
