Description

York House is an imposing and impressive family home, set on a generous plot of about one acre and immaculately presented throughout. Built in 1992, the property enjoys a semi-rural setting offering the best of both worlds with the countryside on the doorstep yet ideally located between Beaconsfield and Bourne End with rapid rail connections, schooling and local facilities. Internally the dimensions are generous and the large footprint of the property is ideal for a family offering excellent versatile living space.

The accommodation flows well, with a mix of formal and informal reception space, perfect for family life. The front door opens into an entrance porch, leading into a generous reception hall with a guest cloakroom, built-in wine storage and stairs to the first floor. A quietly positioned study gives an ideal setting for working from home. At the heart of the home the superb open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room is a beautifully designed space for all the family to enjoy. The adjoining orangery, with underfloor heating, is flooded with natural light and two sets of French doors open out on to the garden. The bespoke fitted kitchen is well appointed, providing a comprehensive range of units complemented by marble worktops and a superb array of integrated appliances. A large island unit incorporates breakfast bar seating. Just off the kitchen lies a formal dining room and a family room, both overlooking the frontage. A practical utility room offers further storage and appliance space and leads through to a good sized boot room, perfect for muddy dogs and boots. Completing the ground floor accommodation is an elegant triple aspect drawing room just off the reception hall, featuring a fireplace, bay window and French doors to the outside terrace opening the room to the garden in the summer months.

On the first-floor, the landing is generously proportioned, providing an ideal area for a desk or reading nook. The principal bedroom offers a quiet retreat overlooking the frontage, with a fully fitted dressing room, built-in wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bath and shower room. A guest bedroom also benefits from built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with a large walk-in shower. There are three further bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes and all served by a well-appointed family bath/shower room.

An electric gated driveway provides ample parking and leads to the triple garage (with a power point). Set on a plot of about one acre, the gardens have been exceptionally well designed. The front is landscaped with gate access to the rear garden on both sides. To the rear, the garden enjoys a wonderfully private setting, wrapping around the house on both sides with a large area of lawn and well stocked beds & borders. A generous terrace area extends from the house, creating an ideal outside entertaining space for friends and family. The garden is wonderfully private and well-screened with high hedging, mature trees and shrubs
