Exclusive country homes launched at The Stables

Builders Ede has launched five large family homes in the West Oxfordshire village of Aston. The development is on the edge of the countryside, and one home even comes with its very own half an acre of farmland.

The exclusive homes, all named after traditional working Cotswold horses, will be available from December 2007. The homes have been constructed using a combination of traditional natural materials including stone, slate, larch boarding and oak and stone lintels.

Reservations are already being taken. Prices start from £495,000 for the four bedroom semi-detached ‘Breton Cottage’ which features an open plan kitchen, dining room and family room and a separate living room with a large open fire. Slate tiles are being used on the roof, and the property will have a landscaped front garden and a generous rear garden with open views across the meadows.

The Shire Barn, priced from £795,000 is a sympathetic barn conversion with half an acre of land as well as landscaped gardens. The detached home has four double bedrooms and is being restored with a combination of natural stone and rendered walls. Where possible, original features such as beams and trusses will be kept. The spacious home also includes an open plan kitchen, dining room and family room. It has a separate living room with a large open fireplace, cloakroom, en-suite to the master bedroom, family bathroom and a detached double garage.

Claire Johnson, Sales Manager at Builders Ede said: “Traditional materials including natural stone and slate and clay tiles are being used wherever possible on the homes, and each property will be finished with great attention to detail. We believe that the Stables homes, with their exclusivity and charm, will provide luxury living but will also maintain the simplicity of life in the country.

“The Stables will suit those looking for a family home in a village setting, but with the convenience of nearby towns and cities such as Oxford.”

Aston is a delightful and historic country village with exceptional peace and quiet with an abundance of outdoor activities nearby including the Oxfordshire cycle way and the Oxford Union Canal. There are a wide range of country pubs and restaurants in the surrounding villages.

Each home will be fully tiled throughout the hallways, cloakroom, kitchen, dining room, family room and utility room. The homes include fitted kitchens with granite worktops and a selection of Bosch appliances. Some homes will include a contemporary range oven. The living areas will also be wired for surround sound and wireless broadband.
