4 bedroom house

Coruisk was built by the current owners over a 2-year period and was completed in 2011. The objective was to build a property which blended into this beautiful surrounding Cotswold Village, yet using the very latest building techniques to deliver a futuristic home with the lowest carbon footprint possible. The owners have successfully managed to incorporate period features in the form of wooden structural beams that make the house feel less contemporary and more in-keeping with the style of architecture in the Cotswolds. Coruisk is accessed through an attractive Cotswold stone porch into a large reception hall / sitting room. On the ground floor are the dining room and the formal drawing room both accessed directly from the reception all. All rooms on the ground floor, have large Cotswold stone fireplaces with open fires. At the rear of the ground floor is a fully fitted large kitchen / family room with utility room and large plant room housing the heating and ventilation systems. Accessed from the family room and the drawing room there is a stunning garden room with stacking “slimline” double glazed doors that can be opened fully to incorporate the garden into your living space. The entire ground floor is laid with ceramic tiles over a water- based underfloor heating system. The ground source heating system utilises heat from two 95 meter bore holes and works in unison with the whole house ventilation system to keep air flow and temperature perfectly balanced year round. The principal bedroom is on the first floor and has a dressing room and en suite bathroom. This bedroom has windows both front and back giving stunning views over the garden and surrounding countryside. There are three further double bedrooms on this floor with one en suite bathroom and family bathroom servicing bedroom's three and four. On the second floor, there is a large fifth bedroom (which is currently used as a study) with separate shower room, large built-in cupboard and additional built in storage.

The property is accessed over a gravelled driveway through wooden electric gates. On the right-hand side of the drive is a triple garage with gardener's loo and bin store. Upstairs is a large fully insulated workshop / studio and storeroom, perfect for those in need of hobby space or office facilities.
The front garden is mainly manicured lawn bordered by mature shrub beds and bushes. Under the lawn is a rainwater harvesting system that supplies water for the garden and the loos throughout the house. The large, very private rear garden has access to the bridle way and again consists of manicured lawns with mature shrub beds and hedges. There are several rare and unusual trees dotted
throughout the grounds. In the rear garden there is also a large tool store, perfect for machinery.
