Set high above the rolling Cotswold countryside, this striking contemporary home has been carefully designed to embrace its spectacular surroundings. Combining natural stone, vertical timber cladding and dramatic cantilevered rooflines, the architecture balances bold modern design with materials that sit comfortably within the historic landscape. Expansive glazing plays a central role throughout, framing uninterrupted views across the valley towards the castle while flooding every living space with natural light.

Designed Around the View

Every elevation has been thoughtfully considered to strengthen the connection between the home and its setting. Large-format aluminium glazing creates uninterrupted sightlines from the principal living spaces, while slim framed bifold doors open directly onto generous terraces and balconies, allowing inside and outside to flow seamlessly together. Whether relaxing in the open plan living area or waking in the principal bedroom, the surrounding countryside becomes an integral part of the home's design, with panoramic views serving as a constantly changing backdrop throughout the day.

Modern Living with Lasting Character

While unmistakably contemporary, the property respects its rural setting through a carefully considered palette of natural materials and understated detailing. Warm timber cladding softens the bold architectural form, complemented by Cotswold stone that grounds the home within its surroundings. The slim aluminium glazing enhances this balance, delivering clean sightlines that maximise daylight without distracting from the architecture itself. The result is a home that feels both refined and welcoming, where contemporary design, exceptional craftsmanship and the surrounding landscape come together effortlessly.
