House For Sale £2,000,000
Substantial family house with excellent leisure facilities.
Description
An exceptional period house set on the edge of the town and standing in lovely gardens and grounds of about 1.57 acres in all. Chalk Hill Farm was once the old public house to the trading roads around Dunstable and Hockliffe, known then as The Green Man.
Today, Chalk Hill Farm represents a sumptuous family home, with fantastic leisure facilities, and an extensive run of open bay garages, which are ideal for the car enthusiast.
On entering the house, one is greeted by a lovely homely sitting area which extends and opens to the fantastic kitchen/breakfast/living room. This, undoubtedly, represents the 'hub' of the house. The kitchen is extensively fitted with bespoke units and complemented by a large central island with solid wood and slate worktop surfaces. There are bi-folding doors opening out to the rear garden and feature bi-folding windows which really bring the outside space into the house. There is a cosy sitting room with a ceiling adorned by exposed timbers, a fabulous open fireplace that takes center stage and solid oak flooring that finishes the room perfectly. The dining room lies opposite and a staircase rises to the first floor where two of the bedrooms can be found.
From the kitchen, a lovely bright and airy hallway runs to the far end of the house, passing the utility room, cloakroom, home office and library and finishing at the end where four further bedrooms can be found. The library is another particular feature as its been hand crafted with oak shelving and three integral cupboards provide additional storage. All four bedrooms boast en suites and walk-in dressing rooms.
There are two first floor double bedrooms and a large luxurious bath and shower room on the first floor and this whole floor is currently used as the main bedroom suite.
In addition to all the ground and first floor living space, there is a cellar with two main areas that offer a number of uses.
Leisure facilities
Across the main courtyard from the house is a significant purpose built barn, which incorporates a fantastic 'Trackman' golf simulator but also doubles up as a home cinema if one prefers. There is a dedicated Gymnasium and steam room for those who love to work-out at home. The rest of the barn has a multitude of uses and is currently used as a workshop and for storage. Last but not least, a staircase rises to a mezzanine floor where there is a dedicated 'barbers', although would make for a great beauty salon, if required.
Outside
The property is approached down its own private driveway and into the extensive private courtyard, which offers parking for numerous vehicles. For the car enthusiast, there is a purpose built timber framed garage block with five open bays and an extremely useful room above, which extends across the full length of the building. This space offers a multitude of uses and has services connected if one wanted to use for ancillary space. In addition, there is a further open bay attached to the main barn, currently used as a log store, but offers another garage space, if required.
Across from the main driveway, there is an area of land that with grass seeding, could make for a pony paddock, alternatively, does offer space to put in a tennis court, if desired (STPP).
