Description

**SCHEDULED VIEWING DAY - SATURDAY 1ST AUGUST - CALL TO BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT**

Steeped in history and occupying an enviable position alongside the Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal, Dashwood is an exceptional family home believed to date back to 1678. Originally constructed as three oak-framed cottages before later becoming part of the renowned Rothschild Halton Estate, the property has evolved over centuries into a truly remarkable residence combining historic charm with modern family living.

Over the years, the house has undergone extensive sympathetic refurbishment, introducing high-quality modern comforts including underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, a Megaflo hot water system, bespoke oak internal doors and tasteful lighting, whilst carefully preserving the wealth of exposed oak timbers and original architectural features that make this home so special.

Offering over 4,000 sq ft of versatile accommodation together with substantial outbuildings, beautifully landscaped gardens and excellent potential for multi-generational living, Dashwood is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the area's most significant period homes in one of Buckinghamshire's most desirable villages.

Accommodation
The front door opens into an impressive reception hall where an original open fireplace creates an immediate sense of warmth and character. Exposed oak timbers, generous proportions and useful storage set the tone for the quality found throughout the property.

To one side of the hallway, the sitting room is a magnificent reception space featuring exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and views over the gardens. Flowing naturally from here is a charming study/snug, fitted with bespoke oak bookcases and a second wood-burning stove, creating the perfect retreat for reading or home working.

Positioned across the rear of the property is the outstanding 32ft kitchen and dining room, undoubtedly the heart of the home. Beautifully fitted with bespoke Cotteswood cabinetry, solid oak and granite worktops, this exceptional space provides extensive storage and preparation areas whilst offering ample room for family dining and entertaining. Glazed double doors open directly onto the reclaimed York stone terraces, seamlessly connecting the house with the gardens beyond.

A practical utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

An elegant oak staircase rises to the first floor where five generous double bedrooms are arranged around the spacious landing. The guest bedroom enjoys a part-vaulted ceiling, an en-suite bathroom complete with steam shower and a hidden enclosed staircase leading to the second floor. The remaining bedrooms are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

Occupying the entire second floor, the principal suite provides a luxurious private retreat. The generous bedroom is complemented by a dressing room and an impressive en-suite bathroom featuring a large circular whirlpool bath, together with excellent loft storage.

Outside
The property is approached through gated access onto a sweeping gravel driveway which passes extensive lawns and mature planting before arriving at the oak-framed double carport.

Adjoining the carport is a substantial workshop featuring reclaimed Victorian tiled flooring, a butler sink and independent access to the house. Above, a large games room with its own shower room offers tremendous flexibility and would lend itself perfectly to use as a home office, studio, guest accommodation or self-contained annexe, subject to any necessary consents.

The rear gardens are a particular highlight, thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of private outdoor spaces ideal for both entertaining and quiet enjoyment. Beautiful reclaimed York stone terraces adjoin the house, whilst mature planting, fruit trees, herb and vegetable gardens create a wonderful cottage garden atmosphere.

An attractive oak-framed summerhouse with power and lighting provides further flexible accommodation and enjoys a delightful position overlooking the gardens. The grounds extend to approximately 0.38 acres and back onto the Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal, offering a peaceful and picturesque setting rarely found.

Location
Dashwood occupies an enviable position within Halton Village, one of Buckinghamshire's most attractive and historic villages. Situated alongside the Wendover Arm of the Grand Union Canal and surrounded by beautiful Chiltern countryside, the village enjoys a thriving community with regular social events, a village shop, a popular primary school and the highly regarded Halton Tennis Club, incorporating a health and fitness centre, café and bar.

The nearby market town of Wendover, approximately 1.7 miles away, offers an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants together with a mainline railway station providing regular services to London Marylebone in under 50 minutes. Tring station also offers direct services to London Euston.

The surrounding Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty provides exceptional opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, with Wendover Woods and its popular Go Ape adventure course close by. The area is also renowned for its excellent schooling, including the Buckinghamshire Grammar School system and a selection of highly regarded independent schools, making Halton one of the county's most sought-after village locations.
