House For Sale £3,650,000
A modern detached country house set in a plot of over 5 acres, with outstanding views over a particularly attractive part of the Chiltern Hills. Less than 2.5 miles to Marlow town centre.
Description
Commendably built in a classic Chilterns vernacular in 2015, this exemplary country home is architecturally distinguished on the outside and exceptionally appointed on the inside. The accommodation has been impeccably designed to offer a wonderfully natural flowing feel and it capitalises on the stunning setting at every opportunity. From the integrated sound system and air-source heat pump to the Derbyshire Stone fireplaces and beautiful French stone floors, every aspect demonstrates an attention to detail.
Creating the perfect introduction, a large beautifully landscaped frontage with ample parking leads to the front door, opening into an impressive split-level galleried hallway. A formal double aspect living room is beautifully lit by a charming bay window to the front and window to the rear, and is both homely and refined with an open fire providing a strong focal point. Opening onto a peaceful patio and combining to create a wealth of space in which to relax and entertain, a superior kitchen/dining room connects with a tremendous sitting/dining room. The exquisitely crafted country kitchen offers every convenience with a notable array of Siemens appliances, a wine fridge and underfloor heating, while bi-fold doors in the marvellous sitting/dining room lead the way to a wonderful orangery with a fabulous roof lantern and enviable vistas. This large open space to the rear of the house provides views over the formal gardens and the valley beyond. The ground floor is completed by way of a utility room and stylish guest cloakroom, and a superb ground floor bedroom suite ideal for guests.
Looking out onto the surrounding countryside three attractive first floor bedrooms suites, the principal being ideally set to the rear of the house overlooking the hillside and valley. High ceilings to this space and a large panoramic window create a feeling of calmness and openness to the scenery. There are ample fitted wardrobes and a large en suite bathroom with separate shower. The two further double bedrooms both enjoy en suite bath or shower rooms, and these two rooms connect via a first floor gallery over the ground floor entrance hall.
Outside
The property sits nestled within approximately five acres of tranquil grounds and gardens, perfectly positioned to provide heavenly far-reaching views of the Chiltern Hills. A gated brick paved driveway instantly generates a sense of privacy and gives the ideal vantage point to admire the considered architecture of the house. Colourful flowerbeds frame the covered doorway, and detached double garaging with an adjoining workshop provides additional secure off-road parking.
At the rear of the house a wrap-around paved patio is a peaceful spot for a morning coffee or al fresco dining. Expansive lawns stretch out before you backing onto the rolling fields allowing the countryside to lend a breathtaking backdrop. Established trees add ample seclusion and a charming shepherd’s hut reflect the high specification of the property. In addition to the detached garaging to the frontage, there is a separate large barn and tractor shed sitting discreetly out of view to the rear. This space provides extra parking, or possible conversion to other uses, maybe a gym, home office or guest accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
Location
