Wonderful family home with views across open fields.
Description
Greenleas is a most attractive and substantial family home situated on the edge of the sought after village of Little Gaddesden and within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Greenleas has, over recent years, undergone a thoughtful and comprehensive program of enlargement and refurbishment by the present owners and now represents a fabulous family home.
As one arrives through the front gates, one immediately starts to appreciate what lies in store as the front gardens and driveway have been meticulously designed to create a wonderful front garden area by way of carefully positioned box hedging with herbaceous borders filled with delightful plants and flowers.
The reception hall is bright and spacious and gives access to three of the five reception rooms and the superb kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of units, integrated appliances complemented by granite work tops and taking center stage, an Aga. As well as a useful pantry and two utility rooms can been found from the kitchen, a door leads through to a lovely family room and playroom beyond. On the southern side of the house is a comfortable study/home office and a stylishly decorated sitting room featuring an attractive fireplace and bi-folding doors that lead out to the sun terrace. There is an elegantly styled double aspect dining room which features a cleverly concealed paneled door that opens to a secondary staircase rising to the first floor and a further door to the garaging.
The landing to the first floor is also bright and spacious and where five of the six bedrooms can be found. The principal double aspect bedroom features a bank of handmade wardrobes and wonderful views over the rear gardens and countryside beyond. There is a door that leads to a further bedroom, which would make a very large dressing room or nursery, if required. Alternatively, a separate bedroom in its own right as it features its own en suit shower room.
The main bedroom boasts a stylish en suite bath and shower room and a further separate bath and shower room serves the additional bedrooms.
Gardens
The rear garden is just exceptional. A large paved sun terrace extends across the rear of the house and features with two principal seating areas, one beneath a wooden arbor. Level lawned gardens extend away from the house and are flanked down both sides by an immense variety of mature shrubs, hedgerows and trees that collectively provide a high degree of privacy and seclusion. two thirds of the way down the garden, a lovely Beech hedgerow separates the formal garden from the manicured cottage garden where raised vegetable beds can be found.
