Description
Dating in parts from the 18th-century, this semi-detached Grade II listed house is set within lovely grounds of about 8 acres within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The land, barns, stables and additional outbuildings present a wonderful opportunity for those seeking equestrian facilities or a small holding to enjoy a rural lifestyle. An interesting feature of the house is the layout and orientation of the rooms, which face away from the smaller neighbouring house and across land owned by the property, literally allowing the residents to be masters of all they survey.
The current owners tell me that this is only the third time the property has been offered for sale in 300 years, but the home’s appeal doesn't just lie in it's charming and varied period features, which include exposed 18th-century brickwork and timber beams, original fireplaces and even a Georgian 120-foot glass-top well in the sitting room. During their tenure the owners have extended and modernised the house, renewing the oil-fired heating, fitting a new electricity supply, distribution & fuse boards, new mains water supply and new sewerage & drainage. So the property now offers a lovely blend of period charm and modern convenience.
The house is accessed through a modern entrance hall with shower room. A recent extension adds a bright sitting room with vaulted ceiling and exposed oak beams, with French doors and windows offering great views over the gardens and paddock. Discovered during the build process, a Georgian well has been preserved under a structural glass cover making a lovely quirky feature. A modern Shaker style kitchen has integrated electric ovens and hob and is semi open plan to a bright breakfast room with large roof light, exposed beams and brickwork and French doors and windows to the patio. A beamed family room offers a cosier space with a large open fireplace and door to a small office or study. Finally there is a playroom or fourth bedroom.
On the first floor there are large principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling and two further bedrooms with good ceiling heights and lovely views over the gardens and beyond. There is a modern family bathroom.
As mentioned, this home would make a perfect family equestrian or smallholding 'lifestyle' choice given the facilities it offers and it's rural situation. It is located at the end of a driveway that serves only three properties and is approached through electric gates to a parking area. The formal gardens are mainly laid to lawn and there is a very private patio area accessed from the breakfast room. In addition to the formal garden there is grazing across seven paddocks, barns, a workshop, three stables and a tack room and storage all of which have their own electricity supply. Two shipping containers add additional storage.
An overage clause will apply to any planning gain relating to the outbuildings- further details on request.
