About this property

An award-winning, architect-designed four-bedroom contemporary home in the heart of Graven Hill, the celebrated self-build community on the southern edge of Bicester. Completed in 2021, the house was designed by its commissioning owner working with a small London practice, and combines a bold contemporary form — black-stained timber cladding to the upper floor, zinc gables, full-height bronze-framed glazing — with an exceptional energy performance specification. The double-height entrance hall, lit by a tall slot window, opens to the principal living space: a vast open-plan kitchen-living-dining room running the full depth of the house, with engineered oak flooring throughout and a wall of bi-fold doors onto a south-facing terrace. The kitchen is custom-made in light oak with polished concrete worktops, an island in the same materials, and integrated Bosch and Liebherr appliances. A separate snug, study and utility complete the ground floor. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms include a principal suite with a vaulted ceiling, walk-in dressing room and a marble-clad ensuite. The three remaining bedrooms share a contemporary family bathroom finished in large-format porcelain. Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, an air-source heat pump, solar PV array, and battery storage give an EPC A rating and very low running costs. The south-facing garden is enclosed by black-stained timber fencing planted with pleached hornbeam, with a generous porcelain terrace, level lawn, and a small contemporary garden studio. Integral car port with EV charging. Freehold, council tax F, EPC A.
