6 bedroom house

Contemporary house with stunning views over the Chilterns set in 2 acres with a separate annexe.


Description

High Point’s living areas are designed to enjoy the breath taking situation while it’s construction materials keep it at one with the natural environment. Traditional details have been adopted wherever possible, especially visible are the hand struck steel nails of the beautiful elm cladding. When in the mood, relax in the hot tub whilst your eyes feast on the panorama. The sawn York stone paving of the upper terrace descends down a similarly adorned staircase to the hot tub area with its aromatic lavender planting. High Point’s garden blends seamlessly into the landscape ‘borrowed scenery’ & ‘the great within the small’ are two fundamental concepts within Japanese garden design.

On the ground floor the main living area of High Point is completely open plan, with a Bulthaup kitchen and state of the art Gaggenau appliances, and incorporates a large sitting area with open fireplace and a feature stone shelf and wall. Beyond the dining area is a study with its abstract bookcase and access to the side. The dining area also has wide access to the top terrace. The adjacent main entrance area has double height volume with a glass balcony. Also located on this floor is bedroom five with an en suite shower room.
On the first floor are three further bedrooms all en suite, with bedroom two having wonderful countryside views. This room could also be used as the principal bedroom suite.
The principal bedroom wing is located on the lower ground floor. This building incorporates a spectacular living room with dual side bi-fold doors that open on to the lower hot tub terrace, to beautifully combine the inside/outside potential for perfect entertaining. The crowning element of this part of the building is the vast roof terrace, open only to the view. The principal bedroom wing is built in a Roman Brick format by Petersen, this material contrasts beautifully with the black elm of the main house and although adjoining is completely self-contained. The approach to the principal bedroom wing at High Point is via a link that incorporates a vast storage area and a complete second kitchen with a utility area serving this level of the building. In this area is a media room that is currently wired as a home cinema or alternatively can be used as a recording studio. This wing houses one of two magnificent principal bedroom suites with a vast walk in shower room with large format porcelain tiles, a theme that extends throughout the bath/shower rooms of the house.

There are two woodland areas on the property, one of which the annexe adjoins. The area above the garage has its own kitchen and en suite shower room and magnificent viewing deck. This level can be used either as a separate apartment or home office. The garage area below has a separate workshop & washroom facilities for outside staff.
