A handsome regency former vicarage set within beautifully maintained grounds of approximately 2 acres in all, with wonderful panoramic views.

Originally dating from 1835 and occupying a fabulous position surrounded by open fields with complete privacy, this property has so much to offer the growing family. The property was completely refurbished by the present owners and has been meticulously maintained during their tenure.

The approach has a real sense of arrival and the accommodation certainly lives up to expectations. The front door opens into a reception hall with the living space having the classic symmetry and high ceilings of the era on both the ground and first floors. There are four principal reception rooms with three having floor to ceiling windows and doors taking in the garden and views beyond. The kitchen/dining/living room is the real hub of the home with a spectacular vaulted space and fabulous sliding doors making the most of the panorama.
There is a door to the cellars and through to the family size utility room and cloakroom. The rear hall has an ensuite guest bedroom and stairs up to the self-contained one bedroom flat/annexe, perfect for extended family, guests or working from home.

On the first floor there are four ensuite bedrooms all of which enjoy a wonderful outlook over the gardens and surrounding countryside.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a privately owned drive and electric gates leading to a sweeping gravel carriageway providing plenty of parking. There is a double garage.

The formal gardens to the front are beautifully landscaped and absolutely stunning. The gardens sweep round to the side and rear, laid predominantly to lawn with well stocked borders, mature trees and an area of paddock. In an addition there is an area of paddock the owners have created,

LOCATION
The village of Totternhoe is situated on the edge of the Chilterns yet within easy reach of major urban and commercial centres together with arterial travel routes.

The beautiful surrounding countryside offers miles of footpaths, cycling, horse riding and gliding with both Whipsnade and Dunstable Downs on your doorstep. The area is well served for a good selection of both state and private schools, including the renowned private schools of Beechwood Park, The Performing Arts at Tring and Berkhamsted School for Boys & Girls.
