INSIDE: An 18th century home, ‘Saddlers’ has been lovingly restored throughout. The house was completely renovated including re-wiring, plumbing, new oil-fired boiler, extensive traditional wood panelling and skirting works, re-pointing, and a full conversion of a large outbuilding and an exquisite-linked reception hallway extension and pantry/boot room. The kitchen and dining room areas were opened-up to create a carefully considered open plan layout.
Timeless features include kitchens, pantry/boot-room and entertaining spaces designed and supplied by deVOL kitchens, which feature aged copper, black granite and silestone worktops, with traditional shaker units, fluted Belfast and polished brass sinks, along with deVOL Perrin and Rowe aged brass taps. The kitchens feature multiple fridges and dishwashers and a beautiful Italian cooker by Bertazzoni. Oak parquet, Burford Oak, and slate flooring features throughout for a classic feel, with newly fitted traditional wood burning stoves in the drawing room, dining room, and living room. All of the bathrooms have been fully re-designed with traditional Thomas Crapper fittings and given a modern twist, complemented by Lusso showers and bathroom suits. Marble checkered flooring in the bathrooms is also a lovely feature.
All internal and external windows and doors have been replaced with carefully hand-crafted solid wood traditional sash and casement windows and doors, adding to the strong character and age of the house. All ironmongery has been well considered in detail and sourced in aged brass from Anvil. To further compliment the quality of the fittings, all electrical plugs and sockets have been supplied by Corston. Painted throughout using Atelier Ellis and Farrow & Ball, the colours fitting the charming lifestyle perfectly.
OUTSIDE: A delightful outlook of the house, showing its prominence within the village. A private low-maintenance courtyard garden, perfect for enjoying the Kingham and Daylesford lifestyle, with a Cotswolds stone patio and manicured borders complimenting the beautiful surrounding countryside.
