An award-winning Chilterns home blending classic charm with bold modernity, set in four acres of paddocks, and one acre of private gardens with panoramic countryside views. A truly versatile family home with style, space and light.

ABOUT THIS HOUSE

A strikingly modern property, where rural tranquillity meets contemporary elegance. Nestled within the beautiful landscape of The Chilterns, this award winning property is a unique blend of two architectural styles, seamlessly uniting a classic brick structure with a modern cladding extension. With expansive paddock fields of 4 acres, stabling, and state-of-the-art home systems, this home is as versatile as it is impressive.
The house unfolds across two distinct sections, in the main part of the house, there are four beautifully appointed bedrooms, while the second wing is home to a generous guest suite — perfect for extended family or visitors seeking their own space. Downstairs, a bespoke home office, thoughtfully fitted with built-in furniture and shelving, provides a serene and productive environment, framed by an inspiring view of the rolling countryside. The heart of the home is the striking open-plan kitchen and dining area, where full-height vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass create a breathtaking sense of space and light. A wall of glazing seamlessly connects this area to the magnificent living room beyond, where sliding doors open onto a patio, with nothing but fields and open sky stretching ahead. A dedicated home gym is discreetly tucked into this wing. Across the way, the second section of the house offers even more versatility. Here, a vaulted reception room could easily transform into a party room, complete with its own kitchen. Outside, electric gates open to ample parking and a double garage both ensuring privacy as well as security.

ABOUT THIS AREA

Set within the undulating Chiltern Hills, Ley Hill is a village that combines rural charm with an authentic sense of community. At its centre lies a broad, 80-acre common, a focal point for village life where you’ll find children playing, local cricket matches in full swing, and walkers enjoying the wide-open space.
The surrounding landscape invites exploration. The Ley Hill Circular is a gentle, stile-free walk threading through Cowcroft Wood and the Chess Valley, a peaceful route rich in seasonal colour and birdsong. For golfers, there’s a well-kept 9-hole course skirting the edge of the common, while the local cricket club is a lively hub for sport and social events. Ley Hill may be modest in size, but it hums with quiet activity. The village hall plays host to everything from produce shows to community gatherings, giving residents the chance to feel part of something rooted and real. A short drive from Chesham and the Metropolitan line, Ley Hill offers the rare luxury of countryside living without isolation, a place where the pace is gentler, but the spirit is alive and well.
