If that is not enough, the Cotswolds boasts idyllic villages, historic towns, a rich heritage of country houses, wildlife parks, stunning gardens and enchanting nature reserves.
Blackbird House is an example of the striking architect designed ‘skydeck’ style that you will see on the development. There are many other designs but this has to be one of the most contemporary and eye-catching ones. It offers decked terraces on each floor with spiral staircases between them. The top terrace is a wonder with incredible views of the estate and alfresco dining. Blackbird House has the added attraction of a Canadian Hydropool Serenity hot tub with Hydrowise therapy and Versa massage functions. What a treat to sit on the deck, relaxing with a glass of bubbles in such wonderful, natural surroundings!
The ground floor offers a fabulous master bedroom suite with its comfy kingsize bed, immaculate ensuite bathroom with a bath and access to the ground floor deck overlooking Howells Mere. There is another beautifully finished king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a ground floor cloakroom.
Upstairs on the first floor, you will find a delightful children’s bunk bed room with an adjacent family shower room, an ensuite twin bedroom and another lovely king bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. Some of the bedrooms boast striking feature walls to brighten the otherwise calm, neutral colour palette. This is an extremely comfortable, spacious holiday home which has been furnished with excellent taste.
The top floor is home to the open plan living area which is brilliantly illuminated with so many windows. The kitchen is stunning with outstanding, contemporary units and excellent appliances. Surrounded with windows, you will be cooking and washing up with a view! Just beyond the kitchen is a fabulous dining arrangement with luxurious bench seating and chairs.
