Martinsend Lane, Great Missenden, HP16

An impressive detached residence, built circa 2002 by Peter Bradley Construction, occupying an elevated, secluded position behind mature trees, offering an exceptional degree of privacy. Ideally located less than a third of a mile from Great Missenden’s mainline station and vibrant High Street, the property also enjoys easy access to scenic footpaths and countryside walks.

This beautifully maintained home is immaculately presented throughout, showcasing contemporary interiors and premium finishes. An elegant entrance hall with a grand oak staircase sets the tone, complemented by matching oak doors and windows. Nestled within well-established gardens, the property benefits from extensive parking and a triple garage.

The interiors are light-filled and modern, featuring a neutral colour palette and natural-effect flooring that create a timeless, versatile backdrop. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed in a chic French country style, with granite worktops, a Stoves range cooker, and a generous central island that doubles as both prep space and breakfast bar—making it a warm, inviting hub for family life.

Perfectly suited for entertaining, the house boasts five reception rooms, including expansive drawing and sitting rooms that open to the garden via six sets of French doors. Additional spaces include a private study, music room, and a family room adjoining the kitchen, complemented by a walk-in pantry and laundry room.

There are five bedrooms in the main house, each benefitting from en suite facilities, plus a sixth bedroom located above the garage—ideal for an au pair, guests, or older children. On the second floor, a superb 47-ft games/cinema room offers exciting potential for further development (subject to planning) or provides an excellent playroom or leisure space.

Outside

The property is approached via a gated entrance leading to a heated driveway with parking for several vehicles and access to the attached triple garage. The beautifully landscaped gardens are surrounded by mature planting, affording exceptional privacy. To the rear, a generous terrace offers a superb space for al fresco entertaining, overlooking the expansive lawn and its vibrant flower borders.
