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 semi-detached house is as sustainably and ecologically modern as can be under the surface.
The heart of the home
The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall, downstairs WC and of course, the large open plan kitchen / living / dining room.
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. Two sets of bifold doors open on to the south facing garden from the dining area.
And so to bed
At the top of the house, the second floor houses the sumptuous principal suite and is quite the haven of escape and relaxation. Quiet, private and spacious, with a dressing area, built in storage, bathroom with walk-in shower and a separate WC.
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 two large double bedrooms (one with ensuite), a family bathroom finished to the same high standards and a final single bedroom could equally make a great nursery or study.
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 study; quiet and secluded and easy to leave behind after work. Alternatively, this could be the perfect space for a games room, kids TV room or hobby space.
Next door is an incredible 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, 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.
Energy efficient and sustainable

Technologically advanced
These are not just efficient homes but truly intelligent homes, too. Voice-activated appliances, energy monitoring, EV charging and Lightwave powered smart home automation for almost anything inside or outside the house.
When it comes to entertainment, you’re well catered for too, with ceiling speakers throughout the house, fibre broadband ready and a 2-year Sky TV package including movies and sport.
Add to that 360-degree security camera coverage, intruder alarm system and smoke, heat and carbon monoxide sensors and you have got total peace of mind as well.
