A luxurious countryside retreat with a heated pool and modern interiors in the heart of the Cotswolds

Hanks House is a bold and sophisticated modern estate that brings high-end luxury to the rolling countryside of Oxfordshire. Set within grounds featuring manicured lawns, a lake, and a forest, the property is tailored for large gatherings of family or friends.

The exterior is made for open-air leisure and the celebration of countryside views. The focal point is a heated infinity pool bordered by sun loungers and a vast terrace. A shaded bar and lounge area, as well as an al fresco dining station equipped with a barbecue and a wood-fired pizza oven, make outdoor hosting effortless. For recreation, the grounds also feature table tennis, all wrapped in total privacy.

Comprising a grand main residence alongside a self-contained private annex, the property’s architecture seamlessly marries contemporary design with premium comfort. Featuring distinct colourful aesthetics in each room, large picture windows, and high ceilings. Indoors, the property transitions into a dramatic, high-fashion interior characterised by rich velvet textures, emerald greens, pale pinks, deep blacks, and striking marble accents.

The ground floor serves as the social heart of the home, boasting multiple lounge areas with large flat-screen TVs and cosy fireplaces, as well as an expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area with glass walls opening onto the pool terrace. For entertainment, the estate features a cinema room with plush seating, a library, and a hidden speakeasy bar. The wellness facilities include a private sauna, a dedicated massage room, and a fully equipped gym.

The accommodation is meticulously arranged across the main house and an annex, offering seven luxurious bedrooms that comfortably sleep up to 14 guests. On the first floor of the main house, the master suite is a palatial sanctuary complete with an emperor-size bed, a fireplace, a dedicated dressing room, a lavish en-suite with a luxurious bathtub, and double-height windows offering expansive views. Three additional themed king and super-king suites—the Black & White Room, the Green Room, and the Pink Room—each boast their own bespoke en-suite bathrooms. The Blue and Red Rooms, both featuring comfortable king-size beds, share a deluxe family-style bathroom with a separate bathtub and shower. Detached from the main building, the private Annex Room serves as a self-contained luxury suite, offering a super-king-size bed, an in-room standalone bathtub, a lounge with kitchenette, an en-suite shower room, and a scenic balcony overlooking the estate.

Hanks House is a stunning, colourful, modern luxury villa perfect for a quintessential English countryside escape in the heart of the Cotswolds.
