House For Sale £1,850,000
This impressive family home sits on an elevated position conveniently located between Great Missenden and Prestwood. Set back from the lane, access is gained via a five-bar gate opening onto a sweeping gravel driveway with space to park several cars. Built circa 1900, the design of this delightful house makes the most of natural daylight and many of the rooms are double or triple aspect with double glazed leaded windows throughout. The drawing room and the family room have working fireplaces and there are several feature fireplaces in other rooms contributing to the charm and welcoming atmosphere of this property. The kitchen/breakfast room features numerous integrated appliances including a Rangemaster oven and it opens to a spacious utility room and one of the garages on one side, and to the magnificent conservatory on the other. The room above the garage currently serves as a bedroom but it could work equally well as a study or hobbies room. Rising to the first floor, there is a study and four bedrooms which overlook the gardens and rolling countryside beyond. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom (with Whirlpool bath) and dressing area. One of the guest bedrooms also has an en suite bathroom whilst the two remaining rooms share a bathroom. Power showers throughout. There are plenty of fitted wardrobes, storage space and a boarded loft.
Outside
The grounds to the rear of the house are a joy to behold. Largely laid to lawn with yew and laurel hedging at the perimeters, the eye is drawn to the far end of the gardens where there is a very private heated swimming pool set behind an attractive array of plants including cypress trees, hydrangea and hollyhocks. A York stone terrace spans most of the rear of the house and doors open to it both from the conservatory and drawing room, allowing for al fresco dining in a magical setting. Other mature plants of note include rhododendrons, roses and cherry trees creating year-round colour. Additionally, there is a summerhouse and a second double garage with space above for a home office.
Situation
Great Missenden is one mile away and has a picturesque high street with many historical buildings, pubs, restaurants (including the newly opened Fanfan) and shops as well as The Roald Dahl Museum. The station offers a London Marylebone service in about 40 minutes and the Metropolitan line runs from Amersham (approx. 6.5 miles distant). Prestwood is under half a mile away. Of particular note are the stunning views from the house and the proximity to a wonderful network of footpaths and bridle paths. The area is also renowned for its state and private education including grammar schools, details of which can be gained from the local authority.
