Oakfield Rise is a landmark contemporary house on the private Battledown Estate, completed in 2021 and built to an exceptional specification. The house delivers flexible living across substantial footprints: a Seimatic kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, multiple reception rooms, gym, cinema and a self-contained two-bedroom courtyard apartment ideal for guests, staff or extended family. Extensive glazing, a double-height gallery and a dramatic feature staircase frame wide Cotswold views and generous natural light.
The property is highly specified for low-carbon, efficient living: Control4 smart-home integration, solar panels, an air-source heat pump, underfloor heating and EPC A rating reduce running demands. Outside, a heated swimming pool, summer kitchen, bespoke bar, outdoor AV and vast terraces create a strong indoor–outdoor entertaining offering. Gated access, ANPR-operated garaging for six cars, EV charging and a covered car port add practicality and security.
This home suits an executive family seeking privacy, technology and high-end entertaining on a substantial plot with countryside outlooks. Buyers should note material ownership costs: council tax is very expensive and the scale of the house and grounds will demand ongoing maintenance and higher running attention despite efficiency measures. The main fuel source is electricity, and the home’s size and systems mean specialised servicing will be required.
In short, Oakfield Rise blends contemporary architecture, technology and generous amenity to set a premium standard on Battledown Estate. It will appeal to purchasers wanting turnkey luxury, flexible guest accommodation and exceptional outdoor entertaining—provided they budget for upkeep and higher local tax liabilities.
