Stableyard by Chalix
Introducing an exclusive development of two exceptional new homesdesigned to sit perfectly within their surroundings. These homes combinea modern design language featuring interior designs by Cecilia Halling Howells Interiors with subtle nods to traditional local architecture. StableYard expertly blends innovative design with its idyllic location offering modern convenience and traditional country charm in perfect harmony.
The Homes
The refined architectural design choices are instantly evident at Stable Yard. With pitched slate roofs on Cotswold stone and black timber finished walls, which match the aluminium-framed windows, both houses echo the local vernacular with a contemporary feel and are perfectly designed for modern living.
Built to meet exacting standards, both homes have energy efficiency as a keystone of their design, with air-source heating systems, underfloor heating on the ground floor, discrete radiators on the first floor and high-performance double glazing, all helping to reduce energy
usage.
The Interiors
The interiors are carefully curated by renowned interior designer Cecilia Halling Howells, offering timeless design, sophisticated palettes and natural textures. The result is an elegant aesthetic
that transcends fleeting trends.
The kitchen and living areas feature an extra-wide engineered oak floor with a durable finish. The entrance and utility rooms are laid with timeless largeformat limestone tiles in a tumbled finish, while the upstairs bathrooms showcase beautiful marble flooring. Thewalls are painted in a warm ivory white, complemented by contrasting doors,
skirtings, and architraves.
Kitchen & Utility
The homes are fitted with bespoke kitchens of exceptional quality, handcrafted by local craftsmen. The cabinets, designed in a transitional style with slatted fronts, are hand-painted in a
subtle Cotswolds green and finished with elegant bronze hardware.
Durable yet sophisticated, the worktops are crafted from a cutting-edge ceramic
material. Each kitchen features a double butler’s sink, ceramic tiled splash backs, and taps in a brushed gunmetal finish. High-specification appliances include a range induction cooker, integrated fridge-freezer and dishwasher, blending practicality with a timeless aesthetic.
Bathrooms
The bathrooms are well proportioned and fitted with high-quality sanitaryware, complete with tapware and brassware in a gunmetal finish.
Each bathroom is equipped with decorative wall-mounted mirrors, paired with matching high quality wall light fittings.
Upstairs, the bathrooms include tiled shower areas, complemented by oak vanity units. The master bathrooms also feature generous ‘his and hers’ basins. Downstairs the bathrooms are finished with Calacatta Viola marble tiles, paired
with sinks in solid matching marble.
Ground Floor
In each home, the entrance hall offers a glimpse through to the countryside beyond.
At the front of the properties, away from the hustle and bustle of the family home, is a lovely snug – a quiet, cosy room to relax in, or an ideal space to work from home. As it adjoins the downstairs shower room and WC, once the discrete sliding door is closed, it makes an excellent guest suite. This flexible layout offers superb convenience for contemporary family life.
The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen and living areas, both generously proportioned spaces filled with natural light. The interiors are sophisticated, with a contemporary take on country styling, muted colour palettes, natural materials and elegant bronze hardware. There is
ample space for comfortable seating, a large dining area, a bespoke kitchen with high specification appliances, and a central island for the family to gather around.
Sliding doors and French windows open up to the landscaped garden, which provides a safe place for children to play and offers outdoor entertainment areas for BBQs and garden parties.
First Floor
The staircases leading up to the upper floors are crafted in oak with elegant metal balustrades. Each has a central pendant point and skylights, allowing light to cascade down to the entrance hall and through to the landing areas and corridors.
There are three further bedrooms on the upper floor of each property. The master bedroom is a haven of calm; close the door and breathe deeply. Endless views over the neighbouring countryside and gardens are a lovely way to wake up in the
morning. Each master bedroom is fitted with wall light points for decorative wall sconces.
And each one has a dressing room and a huge ensuite bathroom, perfect for a pamper evening or for sinking into a deep bubble bath to relax in at the end of a busy day.
There are another two generously proportioned double bedrooms on the upper floor. In Saddlebrook House, the second bedroom also has a dressing room.
The upper-floor bedrooms and corridors are fitted with beautiful sisal-style carpets in a durable finish, providing a modern country house feel.
Garden
Both homes feature landscaped gardens by
renowned local designer Two Oaks Landscapes in
which more than thirty different species of flowers, shrubs and trees have been carefully planned and planted to enhance the outdoor spaces.
Outdoor kitchens, BBQ areas and wellness
facilities, including saunas, hot and cold plunge
pools and outdoor showers are all available by
separate agreement.
Please contact the agent to discuss any additional
requirements.
