Rumseys Lodge, Blewbury,

A unique opportunity to build a striking and innovative contemporary home in the heart of Blewbury Village.

Tucked away within the village conservation area and next door to a period barn conversion, planning consent for Rumsey‘s Lodge was granted under P22/V0669/FUL and has subsequently been implemented by the vendors

The design offers 2300 square ft of accommodation designed to blend cutting edge features with lofty double height spaces and indoor-outdoor connections with the gardens. Arranged over three levels with a central statement double height kitchen, dining space in the heart of the house and three separate bedroom suites together with a drive-in integrated garage; this will be a truly unique home.
