Hervines Road, Amersham, Buckinghamshire, HP6

A handsome Arts & Crafts family home located on Hervines Road, one of the most highly regarded residential locations in South Buckinghamshire.

Description

Hillersdon is a fine example of a traditional family home which has undergone an extensive programme of redevelopment by the current owners to provide exceptionally well crafted internal accommodation combining the very best period elements with a sympathetic contemporary twist and a fine attention to detail throughout.

The property is situated on a beautifully landscaped plot approaching 0.75 acre with mature gardens and grounds providing the perfect blend of privacy and seclusion.
Offering an extremely adaptable living arrangement and arranged around a centrally positioned entrance hall with ground floor cloakroom and ample storage, the ground floor accommodation features well-proportioned, light and spacious reception spaces with high ceilings and original detailing throughout.

There are three formal reception rooms located on one side of the hallway comprising a music room with a open brick fireplace and a triple aspect living room again with fireplace & wood burning stove and with double doors opening out on the gardens. Adjacent to the living room is a wonderfully light and airy double aspect garden room, perfect as a quiet reading space or home office. There are two further reception rooms located across the hallway, a double aspect family room and a home office/study.

To the rear of the property there is a magnificent open plan kitchen/ding room/family room. Part vaulted with a double height feature window providing spectacular views over the gardens, this wonderful informal family living space is the heart of the home.

Featuring hand crafted bespoke units and matching island, the kitchen design is both contemporary but with traditional stylings and lovely splashes of personality including a feature Heather coloured Aga, ‘Piazetta’ Italian gas stove and walk in pantry. Accessed from the kitchen are a generous utility room and separate boot room.

Located to the rear of the kitchen a part glazed sun room with bi-fold doors opening out onto the garden gives access to a further ground floor annex, again with bi-fold doors, which has been cleverly designed as an independent living space with its own kitchen and shower room, or as a further play room/games room.

Generous room proportions continue on the first floor, with five double bedrooms all benefitting from built in storage.

The principal bedroom is a real feature with its internal picture window, ‘Juliet’ balcony and luxury en suite bath/shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by two further remodelled bath/shower rooms, with one en-suite.

Approached over a large gravel driveway with turning circle, the property enjoys immense kerb appeal and is set well back on its generous plot, allowing for ample parking alongside a ‘Heritage’ style twin open bay garage with additional workshop.

The gardens themselves have been extensively landscaped with an enormous amount of love and care. A large patio wraps around the rear of the property allowing for multiple seating areas alongside a further gravelled BBQ/entertaining area with pretty pergola.

Generous areas of manicured lawns are interspersed with well stocked shrub beds of specimen plants. A brick bordered and paved potting area has two arched greenhouses and an abundance of herb beds.

Flanking the lawns there is a super garden office/gym with lovely views across to the outdoor swimming pool which is itself secured with picket fencing and has independent changing rooms. To the rear of the plot there is a full size tennis court and further seating area, ideal for summer parties.
