A handsome and exceptionally well presented village family home situated within 2 acres of beautifully landscaped formal gardens and grounds, overlooking rolling Chilterns countryside.
Description
A handsome and characterful family home dating back in part to the mid 1800's, which has been enlarged and sympathetically improved to provide elegant and exceptionally well presented accommodation with a fine attention to detail and finish.
Cleverly arranged to provide the best of both formal and open plan informal living, the accommodation is perfect for entertaining with a light & spacious feel throughout and views accessible from every room. On the ground floor a welcoming reception hall gives access to three separate reception rooms, all with views over the formal gardens. The formal living room is the focal point of the house, centrally located and with a beautiful feature brick fireplace and inset wood burning stove. Adjacent to the living room is a second, more informal reception currently used as a T.V./games room which in turn gives access to a good size home office/study. Located on the other side of the living room is a most impressive kitchen/dining room/family room, ideal for modern family living with a beautifully extended open plan orangery addition offering either formal or informal entertaining. The kitchen itself comprises an extensive range of bespoke solid Oak ground level and full height units with matching dressers arranged around a large matching central island with breakfast bar. Located off the kitchen is a good size utility/boot room fitted with matching units and useful as a secondary “prep” kitchen.
The bedroom accommodation is well planned with four generous double bedrooms served by two well-appointed bath/shower rooms (one en suite). The principal bedroom features bi-folding doors opening out onto a covered veranda along with a separate access onto a large roof terrace overlooking the gardens and countryside beyond.
The property is situated on a beautiful 2 acre plot with panoramic views over rolling fields and open farmland both to the front and rear of the property. The private and secluded gardens are a real feature of the house having been extensively and thoughtfully landscaped for ease of maintenance, and whilst mainly laid to lawn are interspersed with well stocked beds and specimen trees.
There is also an abundance of seating areas, patios and terraces from which to enjoy both the surrounding countryside and the gardens themselves. Within the gardens is a hard surface tennis court with a heated undercover BBQ and seating area to the rear. There is also a large outbuilding with power which is currently plumbed for use as a kitchen but with potential for a studio, gym, home office or similar. To one side of the house lies a pretty, walled courtyard garden with central water feature which in turn leads to a separate kitchen garden with raised vegetable plots, greenhouse and store. There is gated access to the courtyard providing space for additional parking if required.
Location
