House For Sale £1,550,000
It is believed that this property was built circa 1926 for the Glenister family (the founders of the High Wycombe furniture business). It was constructed to a high standard with fine quality materials and attention to detail. Today, it is a fabulous family home, retaining many period features such as oak panelling and flooring in several rooms, quarry tiles, picture rails, working fireplaces and leaded windows. The kitchen, with a separate utility area is triple aspect and the drawing room is quadruple aspect whilst the dining room and family room both have attractive corner fireplaces and overlook the rear gardens. The dining room opens via a double, oak-panelled door into the drawing room to make an expansive entertaining area. Conveniently located en route to the kitchen, the exquisite butler's pantry and walk-in pantry retain original cupboards and marble shelving. The boot room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Rising to the first floor, there are five bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a study) a family bathroom and a shower room. The largest bedroom has a fireplace and a bay window. There are two additional bedrooms on the second floor.
Outside
Set back from the road with a carriage driveway, there are areas of lawn, mature trees and shrubs to the front of the property with access to the garage and ample space for several more cars.
A side gate leads to the gardens at the rear and these are a joy to behold. With a terrace and two paths leading to seating areas, the summer house and the wisteria-clad pergola, there is plenty of scope for al fresco dining. The collection of interesting plantings includes a strawberry tree, corkscrew hazel and a productive fig tree.
