Set within a generous, private plot in Littleworth, this architect‑led refurbishment by Gresford Architects reimagines an existing house into a bright, contemporary family home. Over 3,200 sq ft of living space unfolds across two storeys, with large picture windows framing landscaped gardens and countryside views. The design prioritises sustainability and material craft, using retained structure where possible and a refined palette of timber, porcelain and Dinesen boards.
The house is fitted with robust eco‑systems: 22 solar panels, a 16 kWh battery, MVHR with duct heater, an air‑to‑water pump for hot water, a water softener, external blinds and triple‑glazed Ecovia windows. The Bulthaup B3 kitchen and high‑spec Miele appliances sit within open plan living that extends via sliding doors to an expansive veranda and professionally landscaped lawns, kitchen garden and greenhouse. Practical outbuildings include a double garage, sheds, summerhouse and off‑street parking for multiple vehicles.
There is clear scope for further development of ancillary structures subject to the relevant permissions. Buyers should note the property’s main heating system remains oil‑fired boiler and radiators (the MVHR provides duct heating but the home currently relies on the oil system), and Council Tax is high (Band G). Mobile signal is average despite fast broadband; the location favours those seeking village life with easy access to Faringdon, Oxford and the Cotswolds.
