Overview

Silver Birch Oddington

Silver Birch mixes open plan with traditional layout. The kitchen, dining and sitting room run together as one long space and act as the hub of the house, while separate drawing rooms, a study, a billiard room and a cinema room give everyone somewhere else to go.

Built in Cotswold stone with steel-framed glazing along the garden elevation, it stays bright and stays connected to the terrace and lawn. Comfortable rather than formal, it suits families and groups of ten who want to cook, eat and play in one place.

Highlights

What makes it special

One room as the hub

Kitchen, dining and sitting room run as one long space, opening to the terrace through a wall of steel-framed glass.

A cinema room that converts

Four bedrooms upstairs, plus a cinema room that turns into a fifth bedroom when the group needs the extra space.

A billiard room downstairs

A deep blue games room with a billiard table, set well away from the main living space.

A play frame in the walled garden

A timber climbing tower with swings and a slide at the far end of the lawn, behind gates and walls.

Daylesford under two miles away

A thirty-five minute walk across the fields, or a few minutes by car, to the farm shop, cafes and spa.

Gated, with parking for four

Electronic gates open onto a gravel drive that parks four cars; one garage can be fitted with gym equipment on request.

About the space

Silver Birch Oddington

Outside

The garden is walled and gated. It is not large, but it is private, with a lawn running down to the terrace and plenty of room for younger children to be let loose safely. A timber play frame with swings, a slide and a climbing tower sits at the far end.

The terrace outside the garden room takes a dining table and seating under a parasol, and the gravel drive behind the electronic gates parks four cars comfortably. One of the garages can be fitted out with gym equipment on request.

Inside

The kitchen runs along a wide range cooker with a central island and a large fridge, and opens straight into a dining area with a long oak table and bench seating for ten. Beyond it, sofas gather around a wood burner set into stone against the glazed wall, so the whole ground floor reads as one room while still giving each part its own corner.

A separate drawing room with mullioned windows makes a quieter sitting room, and a study off the hall works for anyone who needs to shut a door. Downstairs there is a billiard room in deep blue, and next to it a cinema room that converts to a fifth bedroom when the group needs it.

Four bedrooms sit upstairs off a galleried landing wide enough for armchairs and bookshelves. The four bathrooms are finished in stone and herringbone tile, with a mix of walk-in showers and baths.
