House Swanson

Another of our Cotswold Downs Estate homes includes House Swanson. The north facing site has magnificent views over the main golf course with an indigenous forest as a backdrop. The design sucks in the views with all but one bedroom facing north. Large frameless stacking doors on the first floor open onto covered  balconies which extend from each end of the house. The house is entered from 2 sides,  allowing private entrances to the bedrooms from the ground floor as well as a more public entrance from the first floor, off the main road.

From the start, the visitor is offered an abundance of light and views when entering the solid timber pivot door. The style is traditional contemporary farmhouse architecture; Light colours and exposed red brick walls play a dominant role the upper floors – A solid timber staircase leads to the ground floor with a sunroom forming a central  space from which the bedrooms lead.
