SUMMARY
A distinctive 1930's, five bedroom residence set in glorious gardens of approximately one acre enjoying outstanding views across three counties.


DESCRIPTION
Originally built in the 1930's this impressive family home was sympathetically extended in 1986 and 1994 to provide quite exceptional and versatile family accommodation. The current owners have made some significant changes to the property over the last ten years, including creating a fabulous kitchen/dining/living space opening onto the garden which is now the real hub of this lovely home.

Accommodation 
The front door opens into a light reception hall, incorporating an oak staircase leading to the first floor and a cloakroom. The drawing room has a wonderful triple aspect with casement doors opening out on to the garden. The original oak parquet flooring has been beautifully preserved and the focal point of the room is a stunning fireplace. The formal dining room easily accommodates a generous table and retains the original parquet flooring. Central to the dynamics of this house is the kitchen and living space; the kitchen area is fitted with a bespoke range of units combining natural oak and hand painted cabinets, incorporating granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and a four oven Aga. The bright and airy living/dining area overlooks the rear garden and has casement doors opening onto the terrace. The main sitting room has a very comfortable feel with a magnificent oak 'Art Deco' fireplace complete with wood burning stove. Casement doors open out onto the garden and there is a door to the study. There is a utility room adjoining the secondary hall, which also has the staircase up to the guest suite.
On the first floor there is a long landing with access to all the principal bedrooms. The indulgent master suite offers all the space you could ever want, including a wonderful duel aspect with window seats to admire the outlook in both directions. There are three built in wardrobes and a sumptuous fully tiled en suite bathroom. In the main section of the house are two further large double bedrooms, each with a hand basin and a generous single. The family bathroom is also well equipped and there is an adjoining shower/steam room. The en suite guest room is accessed off the secondary staircase, but there is also a concealed door off the master bedroom.

Outside 
The property is approached via double wooden gates and a block paved driveway providing plenty of parking. The front garden has a clever mixture of soft and hard landscaping with varied deciduous and evergreen shrubbery.
The twin garage block has double doors to the front and access through to the workshop at the rear, where there is the boiler and filtration plant for the swimming pool.
The extensive gardens are a real reflection of the owner's passion, with beautifully stocked beds and borders, varied specimen bushes and shrubs, all of which are a profusion of colour. There is a large three level terrace with a pond and an adjoining heated swimming pool (32' x 16'). An open expanse of lawn sweeps away from the house, with a charming formal rose garden incorporating a pergola and wrought iron arches, complete with David Austin roses. To the rear there is a productive vegetable garden and fruit trees. The gardens enjoy a perfect south westerly aspect with complete privacy and an outstanding view from every corner.

Location 
Situated in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in a stunning elevated position on the periphery of the village, the property commands one of the finest locations in the area, with panoramic views across to Ivinghoe Beacon in one direction, the wooded escarpment of the Chiltern Hills in another and across to Mentmore Towers. On a clear day it is also possible to catch Waddesdon Manor to the north.
