Unique period home in the heart of the Chiltern Hills with landscaped gardens and affording stunning distant countryside views.

Description

Set in an elevated position within the heart of the picturesque Chiltern Hills, Loosley House is a unique and captivating four bedroom character home with beautiful landscaped gardens and affording stunning distant countryside views. Dating back to the 18th century, this elegant residence combines timeless architectural detail with an enviable rural setting, enjoying the most spectacular countryside views.

Believed to have its origins in the Georgian era, the house has evolved gracefully over the centuries. Notably, its striking brick-and-flint façade is thought to have been introduced during the Rothschild family’s probable occupancy in the late 1800s, when the property may have been used as a hunting lodge. In the 1970s, the building was thoughtfully converted into three individual residences. This property forms the central portion, retaining much of its original charm and historic character.

Extending to almost 3,000 Sq. ft., the property offers versatile living space arranged over three floors. Internally there are a wealth of character features including high ceilings and sash windows which give a wonderful feel and charm. The ground floor features two elegant reception rooms, both rich in period character, alongside a dedicated study that provides an ideal space for working from home. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of units, wood worktops and integrated appliances. There is also a convenient guest cloakroom and practical utility space. There is also more useful storage in a third cellar reached internally by a door in the hall.

Upstairs, the first floor is home to four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys its own private en suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom.

Beneath the house, two substantial cellars provide excellent storage and hold exciting potential for conversion into additional living space, a gym, or a wine cellar, adding further flexibility to the accommodation, subject to the usual consents.

Set over several levels, the beautifully landscaped gardens have been designed to complement the surrounding countryside, offering a peaceful setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Every rear window captures the breathtaking views of the rolling Chiltern Hills, creating a sense of tranquillity. A terrace area adjoins the rear of the house providing the perfect spot for entertaining and to enjoy the view. The property also includes a double garage and ample additional parking.
