Description

A handsome detached family home in one of South Buckinghamshire’s most sought after residential locations.

Cherry Trees is a substantial family home which has been enlarged and extensively remodeled to exacting standards with symmetrical Georgian inspired elevations and a traditionally designed interior arrangement. The property has been built around the principles of light and space, benefiting from full height Georgian windows throughout and an exceptionally high specification with individual flair and a fine attention to detail throughout.

Internally, a large generous open plan vaulted reception hall with cloakroom and feature bespoke designed staircase gives an impactful first impression of the house. Formal double aspect reception rooms accessed from here include a family room with fireplace and inset wood burning stove, a formal living room featuring bespoke recessed bookshelves and a further recessed fireplace with sash windows either side and a doors opening out onto the rear garden. On the other side of the hallway is a further home office/study.

Spanning the remainder of the ground floor is a simply breath taking open plan kitchen and dining room, part open plan to an additional TV room/snug. This wonderful light and spacious informal family area is ideal for modern living with a bank of floor to ceiling doors and windows with a matching atrium roof lantern flooding the room with natural light. The bespoke, hand built kitchen is by Guild Anderson Furniture and features full height larder cupboards, walk-in pantry, built-in appliances by Gaggenau and an L shaped central island perfect for informal dining. Located next to the kitchen is a further “prep” kitchen comprising an extensive range of units, with oven and sink alongside twin full height wine fridges. Accessed from the kitchen are the utility room, boot room and plant room, again all thoughtfully planned for ease of access and internal maintenance.

On the first floor the centrally positioned and spacious galleried landing has a further lantern roof light, ample storage and gives access to the bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom suite has a generous walk through dressing room with two banks of full height wardrobes leading through to a luxury en-suite bath and shower room. The bedroom itself has been vaulted with exposed timbers and has doors leading out to a private balcony. There are five further double bedrooms including two full suites and two well-appointed bath/shower rooms (one further en-suite).

The property is situated on a magnificent plot approaching one acre and enjoying a pleasant Southerly aspect.

Extensively landscaped throughout the mature gardens are a joy. Set back well on its plot the property is approached past electronically operated Wrought Iron gates and over a sweeping gravel driveway framed by areas of lawn studded with specimen trees and well stocked borders. Mature hedging provides a high level of screening and privacy.

An expansive patio laid with porcelain tiles by London Stone frames the rear of the house and provides a series of split level entertaining areas surrounding a heated outdoor swimming pool with hard cover.

The gardens themselves are laid to expansive lawn interspersed by well stocked beds and bordered with mature hedging and trees.

Within the garden there is a timber framed home office/studio whilst positioned to the side of the property is a detached and remodeled annexe providing ancillary accommodation and comprising a vaulted reception room with built-in storage and work station along with a separate kitchenette and shower room.
