Willow Gate, Chearsley, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP18

Welcome…

Set in the serene village of Chearsley, the exclusive development of Willow Gate is a unique gem. Named after the charming willow tree that graces the corner of the garden, this property is a magnificent family home.

From the road, make your way down the paved drive and park in front of the double garage of Moorefield.

Come on in…

The oak door pushes open to reveal an internal glazed door into the hallway. Light pours into the home from all directions, and from here, you get the first sneak peek down the steps and through the French doors of the living room, out to the gardens beyond.

A room of one's own…

Study
At the front of the property, a generously sized study offers a peaceful retreat with a view of the driveway. Close the door and immerse yourself in work, undisturbed by the rest of the home.

Playroom

Beyond the study is the playroom, a dedicated space for the children to play and enjoy themselves, and you can close the door to the mess and chaos, keeping the rest of your home clean and tidy.

There is also a fully fitted shower room from the hallway, with a shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin.

Kitchen…

The kitchen is accessed through a snug area, an open-plan area that is the perfect place for informal relaxation or to give the kids an area to watch TV or play video games outside the family living room.

The kitchen is a modern and functional space. Neutral shaker-style units line the room, complemented by granite work surfaces. The central island, topped with butcher block worktops, is a perfect spot for casual conversations while the chef prepares dinner.

The kitchen has integrated appliances, including a microwave and dishwasher and a fantastic Rangemaster double oven. There is space for an American-style fridge freezer with plumbing already in place for a water cooler and ice maker.

There is a useful utility room, with units to match the kitchen, plumbing and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, and a Belfast sink. A water softener is fitted here, too, to treat the water that comes into the home. The tiled floor is heated, and a door leads out to the garden, making this the perfect access to the property when the kids have muddy boots.

Living room…

At the rear of the property, down a few steps from the hallway, you will find the living room. Velux windows and French doors fill this space with natural light and give wonderful views of the magnificent gardens. With space for a dining table and comfortable sofas, this room is where the family gather and enjoy each other's company. Whether gathering for a meal or a movie night in front of the TV, this room is the heart of the home. Opening the French doors to the garden creates a seamless connection with the outside space.

Time for bed…

At the end of the day, climb the stairs to the four beautifully spacious bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes and decorated in soft, subtle colours to create a sophisticated atmosphere that promotes calm and relaxation.

The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes to keep everything nice and tidy. Natural tiles adorn the en suite shower room, which has a large walk-in shower, WC, and double wash basins in a vanity unit.

Beautiful Bathrooms…

Tiled in travertine that is gently warmed by the underfloor heating, two family bathrooms are accessed from the landing, meaning that there is no queue for the bathroom in a busy household. The bathroom has a large bath, edged in mosaic tiling, a wash hand basin and a WC. The shower room, located just next door, has a shower cubicle, wash hand basin and WC.

Outside…

"The garden is really a work of art, and we love watching it all change with the seasons."

Intricately designed by an award-winning garden designer, the gardens at Moorefield have been created with wildlife at the core. From the circular wildflower meadow to the sheltered seating area edged in vertical timbers, thought and consideration have gone into every element of this marvellous space. Bees, butterflies, and dragonflies enjoy the floral displays, and the small pond has frogs and newts as frequent visitors while birds fly around and make use of the beautiful willow tree in the corner. A wooden pergola has a grapevine growing up it, an experiment of sorts that has worked very well and results in a healthy crop of grapes in the summer - a few more years, and there should be enough to make your own wine!

"It is beautifully noisy in the garden with the birds and gentle buzz of the insects."

The patio area, positioned in front of the living room doors, is the perfect spot to enjoy an al fresco meal or BBQ with friends, where the children can run around and play in the gardens long into the evening.

The parking at the front of the property is enough to take several vehicles. A double garage with power and light and an electric car charging point and solar panels are fitted.

"Surrounded by trees makes the property feel very private; it's like looking out onto an arboretum."

Out and about…
Just a few minutes drive from the property, you will be in Cuddington, the next village along from Chearsley, where you will find village shops and a post office. There is also a fantastic primary school in this village and secondary schools in the area, including private schooling if your budget allows.

Only slightly further away is Long Crendon, a larger village with a nursery, primary school and shops, takeaway restaurants and some great pubs, ideal for a pub lunch on an autumnal day out with the children. Being in the countryside means that there is no end to the walking routes in the area.

Nearby Haddenham & Thame Parkway station has direct trains that take around 40 minutes into London, and the M40 can be reached in around a 15-minute drive, making Chearsley a very conveniently accessible location.
