Finings Road, Bolter End, Buckinghamshire, HP14

A fine three-bedroom character property with versatile accommodation in a private, gated position adjoining Bolter End Common.

Description

Nestled in a peaceful, semi-rural position in the village of Bolter End, this semi-detached property forms a wing of a former Edwardian mansion, built in 1906. The house is rich in character, with attractive casement windows, characterful flooring, timber ceiling paneling and original doors.

The property provides a considered blend of character and modernised interiors, with the latter sympathetically designed to complement the age and style of the home. Attractive window shutters feature in some rooms, while the light-filled entrance hall is laid with travertine flagstones, which continue into the kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary, timber cabinetry complemented by marble worktops and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, conventional oven, induction hob and microwave. The space opens into an attractive dining area with parquet flooring.

Beyond the kitchen is a ground floor shower room and a double bedroom with smart engineered wood flooring, enjoying views over the garden and with a door opening directly onto the grounds. The sitting room is a wonderfully light, triple-aspect room, with glazed double doors opening onto the veranda. Attractive parquet flooring and an open stone fireplace provide character and a cosy focal point during the winter months.
Upstairs, there are two good-sized double bedrooms, both enjoying pleasant dual aspects. One features a charming bay window with leafy views. The bedrooms are served by a bathroom.

Outside
The house is set within a small enclave, accessed via a gated entrance with intercom and CCTV. To the front, a private gravel driveway provides ample parking, together with a spacious double garage with an electric door.

The property is arranged in an L-shape, creating a charming courtyard feel. The traditional painted façade is complemented by a covered veranda, featuring decorative metal fretwork beneath a slate roof.

The front gardens are varied and beautifully landscaped, with a paved terrace providing a pleasant spot for enjoying the outdoor space. The lawn is dissected by a pathway and bordered by mature trees providing shade to the edges of the garden. A further decked area provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining.
