Description

Bucks House is a truly exceptional residence, meticulously renovated by the current owners to the highest standard, with an emphasis on quality, elegance, and practical luxury throughout. This beautifully designed home blends classic proportions with contemporary style, offering a refined and welcoming living environment.

Set behind electric wrought iron gates, the property is immediately striking with its elegant symmetry and inviting entrance. Upon entering, the hallway leads to a spectacular open-plan kitchen with lovely views of the garden. This space is fitted with premium appliances, extensive bespoke cabinetry, a rich walnut breakfast bar, and sophisticated mood lighting. An integrated bar area means it is a superb space for entertaining.

Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, a full-width conservatory spans the rear of the house, currently serving as both a dining area and playroom. Wide bi-fold doors open onto an expansive terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience that is ideal for hosting guests. Beyond the terrace is the covered decked outdoor kitchen and dining area, with lights and heaters, and under a separate structure, the covered hot tub.

The triple-aspect living room exudes understated luxury, featuring a bespoke media centre, wood-burning stove, and thoughtfully integrated blinds for both comfort and style. A dedicated study provides an inspiring workspace with bespoke shelving, excellent storage, and a large picture window overlooking the garden through the conservatory. A spacious utility and boot room, accessible via a separate entrance, is cleverly designed with ample storage, and there is also a stylish downstairs cloakroom for guests.

Upstairs, the principal suite is nothing short of extraordinary. This vaulted sanctuary includes a bespoke dressing room and a luxurious en suite bathroom complete with double sinks, double showers, a freestanding bath, and enclosed WC. The elevated sleeping area offers stunning views across the garden, making this a true retreat.

There are four further bedrooms, bedroom two has an en suite bathroom, with the remaining bedrooms are served by two beautifully appointed bathrooms. Additionally, a self-contained suite on the ground floor, accessed via the conservatory, offers ideal accommodation for extended family, guests, or a nanny. It comprises a bedroom with en suite, private living area, and the services are in place should you wish to add a separate kitchen.

The grounds, are just as impressive as the interior. The garden features large open lawns, a meadow orchard, a wildlife pond, and a beautifully landscaped, and fenced, ornamental pond with a pretty bridge set amidst Welsh slate and lovely planting. A detached garage complex offers plenty of space for four vehicles, each with new roller shutter doors. Above, you'll find a soundproofed music studio and a fully equipped home cinema — with potential to convert this into an additional annexe, subject to planning. Ample parking complements the garaging.

Further outbuildings include a stylish garden office/studio (currently used as a photography studio), a dry storage barn, greenhouse, metal feed shed, chicken coop, wood store, and an additional sheds, all thoughtfully placed around the grounds, and the entire property benefits from privacy and security.
