Description

3,270 sq ft Gated Village Home | Vaulted Principal Suite | South-West Garden Backing onto Countryside | Conservation Area Setting

Tucked away at the end of the private and rarely available Preslent Close, widely regarded as one of the village’s most desirable locations, this impressive five-bedroom detached residence occupies a secluded gated corner plot within the Shillington Conservation Area and offers approximately 3,270 sq ft of accommodation, including an oversized double garage.

The property enjoys a particularly special outlook across open countryside towards All Saints Church – the remarkable Saxon landmark described by Sir John Betjeman as “The Cathedral of the Chilterns” – with far-reaching views towards the Chiltern Hills beyond.

Opportunities to acquire a home of this scale and position within the Shillington Conservation Area are rarely available, particularly one enjoying uninterrupted countryside views in such a peaceful village setting — reflected by the fact that the current owner has enjoyed living here for over 31 years.

Living Accommodation

The ground floor provides generous and versatile reception space ideal for both family life and entertaining. A substantial 25-foot living room, centred around a characterful exposed brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, enjoys views across the garden and flows into a music room. A separate formal dining room provides an elegant setting for entertaining.

The kitchen/breakfast room forms the hub of everyday living and is complemented by a bright conservatory overlooking the garden.

Further ground floor accommodation includes a study ideal for home working, cloakroom, boiler room and internal access to the oversized double garage.

Principal Bedroom Suite

The first floor is arranged around a spacious landing and offers five well-proportioned bedrooms.

The principal bedroom suite is a particularly striking feature, showcasing dramatic vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a dressing room, vaulted en-suite bathroom, and direct access to a private balcony offering elevated views across the garden, surrounding countryside and the historic church.

The remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and additional bathroom facilities, providing excellent flexibility for family living or visiting guests.

Gardens & Setting

Externally the property enjoys a private South-West facing garden backing onto open countryside, enhancing the sense of space and tranquillity.

To the front, a gated entrance opens onto a generous driveway providing ample parking alongside the oversized double garage.

Village amenities including a local shop, petrol station and the well-regarded Crown public house and restaurant are all just a few minutes’ walk away, while the peaceful setting and surrounding countryside make the location ideal for families, walkers and pet owners seeking safety, space and tranquillity.
