Fine country house in an idyllic location set in beautiful landscaped gardens.

Description

Occupying a picturesque setting on the edge of Hedgerley village, Bulstrode House offers one of the best combinations of country space and a quick commute to London. Nestled in the quintessentially pretty hamlet of Hedgerley Green with just seventeen houses and benefiting from a friendly and active community, the area is a hidden oasis with ponds, woodland and country walks, perfect for growing families. An adjacent bridleway provides a pretty walk to the village pub and local shop.

Dating back to about 1920, Bulstrode House provides substantial and attractive family accommodation of character, set in mature and secluded gardens. Many of the rooms are double aspect and enjoy delightful views over the gardens. The ground floor provides excellent reception space with an elegant reception hall leading through to the kitchen/breakfast room which opens into the most delightful family room with a cosy woodburner. A wall of French doors in the family room open to the garden creating ideal inside/outside entertaining space. The kitchen itself is well equipped with a comprehensive range of units complemented by granite worktops and integrated appliances. A freestanding central island gives flexible and additional worktop space and there is ample room for a table. Off the reception hall is a quietly situated study alongside a utility room and cloakroom. Beyond here is a superb drawing room of excellent proportions, with a central wood burning stove and two sets of French doors to the garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a bedroom, with doors to the garden and an adjacent TV room/snug. This area would be ideal for an au pair or visiting family.

On the first floor a large landing is currently arranged as a study. The large principal bedroom suite overlooks the garden with a substantial roof terrace affording lovely garden views. There is an adjacent bath/shower room and bedroom six across the hall is ideal for use as a dressing room. In addition is a guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom and mezzanine level giving further space, leading through to eaves storage. There are two further bedrooms served by a family shower room.

Bulstrode House enjoys an idyllic setting in the heart of Hedgerley Green. The wonderfully tended landscaped gardens wrap around the house, with large areas of lawn to the front and rear interspersed with well stocked shrub and floral beds. An attractive terrace adjoins the rear of the house giving ideal space for outside dining and to enjoy the garden. The gardens are well screened with high hedging and mature trees giving seclusion and privacy.
