Horseshoes Close, Grendon Underwood, Buckinghamshire.

DESCRIPTION
Horseshoes Close is a small cul de sac in the heart of the village and number 3 nestles in the back corner enjoying a superb open southerly aspect to the rear, its large garden backing onto farmland and fields.

Constructed in 2006 the house benefits from modern features you would expect, the whole of the ground floor enjoys underfloor heating, the rooms are generous sizes and light and the property has a Beam central vacuum system with strategically placed wall inlets throughout.

The entrance is from a patterned glass panel door into the hallway where there is a cloakroom with a wc and wash basin. The flooring is limestone and this continues to the kitchen/dining room where there are a comprehensive selection of soft close, cream shaker style units and black granite effect worktops. Integrated is a dishwasher and remaining a Samsung larder fridge/freezer and a Rangemaster cooking range equipped with 5 halogen hobs, warming plate, 2 ovens and a grill. The kitchen window has a wonderful view over the garden and beyond. In the utility room are more cupboards and worktops and spaces are provided for a tumble dryer and washing machine (plumbing in situ). The utilityroom also has a back door. The sitting room hosts a handsome cast iron woodburning stove within a large fireplace and the sitting room floor is tiled. Double doors lead to the conservatory where there is a different floor tile. The construction is brick and upvc, not everyones ideal build nowadays however the room itself really takes in the beautiful rural outlook.

On the landing there is a big airing cupboard and the staircase pivots to the second floor. There are three double bedrooms on the first floor, the principal bedroom of excellent dimensions with an expansive choice of furniture including wardrobes and drawers. Again, the view is wonderful and the ensuite shower room nicely fitted. Both guest bedrooms share said wonderful view, bedroom two being dual aspect. In the family bathroom is a white suite of wc, wash basin and accompanying the bath are handheld and overhead rainfall shower options. The paddle staircase delivers you to the attic room, I say room but ostensibly it is two areas and would make a perfect den of living room and bedroom or equally a pleasant studio/office or two with even further enhanced, elevated views. We are informed that plumbing is available at one end of the attic rooms enabling potential for an ensuite to be installed.


OUTSIDE
At the front the tarmac driveway provides parking for 3 vehicles and then there is a single garage.

The rear garden extends to almost 200ft in depth and comprises a simple mix of stone patio and lawn with towards the back boundary an orchard made up of plum, pear, eating and cooking apples and adjacent the trees is a greenhouse. On the patio stands a covered arbour, shed and dog kennel, the covered arbour by design to shelter a hot tub and the electrics are connected for this purpose.

Post and rail fencing mostly encompasses the garden so as not to block out the aforementioned views and along one edge is a particularly pretty Wedding Rose.

Gated access can be found on each side of the house.
