House For Sale £2,000,000
This incredible modernist eco-home in rural Buckinghamshire is perfect for a growing family or young professionals. Designed by internationally award winning architect, Jason King, the property was commissioned by the current owners, leading to an extremely high build quality with features to suit modern living. A multitude of eco-friendly features were incorporated into the build meaning running costs are far lower compared to other properties of its size.
The property is situated on half an acre of garden with a croquet lawn and wildflower meadow, and is surrounded by peaceful Buckinghamshire countryside with the occasional bleating of sheep in the distance. As well as being in the catchment area for The Royal Latin and Aylesbury Grammar Schools, the house is also close to transport links such as the M1 and Milton Keynes station, also with the Cambridge - Oxford Line due to open shortly you will be just 5 minutes from the Winslow station, as well as the closest shop.
Immediately, as you enter the property, you will notice the amount of natural light shining through the triple glazed floor-to-ceiling windows and spilling into the open planned living space with high ceilings and exposed beams. The house is arranged over two floors offering just over 3,800 square feet of living space. You are greeted with a large 14 person dining room adjoining a large kitchen with in-built appliances (two ovens, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer), and also a 3-step-down living room with 3D cinema projector and integrated Bose surround sound system. The main living room also offers a stunning fireplace and huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the grounds. The rear elevation is south facing meaning you will enjoy sunlight throughout the entire day, with the garden designed to make the most of the sun as it moves across the sky.
The first floor boasts three king bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and three further bedrooms (2x king, 1x single) which share a family/guest bathroom, two further rooms downstairs have also been used as bedrooms, offices, or playrooms in the past. The principal bedroom has access to a south facing wraparound balcony, and walk-in wardrobe with the en-suite including a bespoke corner bath, his & hers sinks and walk-in rain room shower, along with separate toilet, bidet, and hand washing basin.
