Description

A fine Grade II listed Georgian family home with attractive elevations and generous proportions set within landscaped gardens and grounds of 1 acre, located in a semi-rural position on the edge of this popular Chilterns village.

The property has undergone an extensive programme of redevelopment both internally and externally to offer tastefully presented, contemporary family living with a fine attention to detail and finish throughout, sympathetically improved whilst thoughtfully showcasing original features and key elements of the original layout.

The property also has the benefit of extensive leisure facilities, again remodelled and greatly improved, making it an extremely rare find.

Externally the gardens and ground have been carefully and lovingly enhanced and improved to provide the most remarkably invigorating setting.

The accommodation enjoys an extremely versatile arrangement comprising formal living accommodation within the main house whilst also providing further accommodation located on the far side of the leisure complex, ideal as ancillary or annexe living space if required.

The original Georgian wing comprises a traditional entrance hall with w.c. and provides three reception rooms. A striking Oak panelled TV/Cinema room with fireplace and wood burning stove perfect for cosy evenings, a further light and airy double aspect play room with access onto the gardens and an elegant formal living room. The living room is beautifully arranged with a feature fireplace open to the adjacent reception room, bespoke built-in storage and bookshelves and french doors opening out onto the gardens.

Located next to the living room is a formal dining room. Again double aspect with an abundance of natural light, the dining room flows seamlessly into a beautiful re-designed Orangery, ideal for both pre or post-dining entertaining and a quiet, uninterrupted space from which to enjoy the gardens.

The magnificent kitchen/breakfast room features a bespoke kitchen by Martin Moore kitchens with accompanying furniture. The units are of a country design with delicately balanced colouring within an extensive range of hand built units incorporating appliances by Lacanche, Gaggenau and Miele and with a matching central island. A recessed diner style seating area is ideal for informal dining and double doors/further window seating look out over a private, landscaped courtyard.

The bedroom accommodation on the first floor comprises a principal suite with a generous dressing room and luxury bath & shower room alongside a dedicated bedroom space. There are three further double bedrooms, each with views, which share two further well-appointed bath/shower rooms.

Located next to the pool room is further accommodation arranged over three floors currently arranged as two further double bedrooms and a separate shower room, a lower ground floor gym/play room, a study and and extensive boot room/plant room. The lower ground floor rooms open out onto a superb sunken patio and seating area.

Running along the flank of the plot is a magnificent, redesigned leisure complex. This quite spectacular addition has been redesigned with a luxury spa feel, housing a natural salt water endless pool, refitted tiling and pool surround with seating areas and twin sets of doors opening out onto the gardens which create a perfect indoor/outdoor experience.

A part vaulted internal hallway with Velux windows runs the length of the leisure complex, connecting both parts of house.
Set within a secluded plot of 1 acre, the gardens and grounds are a further feature of the property, having been extensively landscaped with care and attention to compliment the quality of the house.

Accessed through wooden privacy gates, a sweeping driveway runs through an avenue of Hornbeam trees, leading to an extensive parking area and detached double garage. From here steps lead up to the gardens via hard landscaping combining a mix of brick retaining walls and manicured box hedging encompasses a number of seating areas and well stocked feature beds.

A fine circular lawn with gravel surround, extensive seating area and four matching ponds provides lovely formal entertaining space, whilst extensive further lawns and an open summer house are positioned to the side. The gardens are enclosed by mature hedging and extensive acoustic fencing providing both seclusion and privacy.
