"Superb contemporary home in the heart of the village and set in beautiful landscaped gardens.

Description

Ideally set in a tucked away position on a private, country lane this single storey, contemporary home was built by the current owners and finished in 2019, with meticulous attention to detail and to a high specification. Architect designed and with a high energy efficiency, Cherryfield is a stunning property, characterized by high ceilings, clean lines and floor to ceiling glass windows and doors, beautifully framing the surrounding landscaped gardens. Perfectly located for easy access to the surrounding countryside, connections to London are also excellent, with train services to London running from Gerrards Cross just over a mile away.

Careful interior planning optimises the free flowing space, with most of the rooms having door access on to the gardens or courtyard. The front door opens into the reception hall connecting the living and bedroom areas, flooded with natural light from the continuous sky light above. A cosy snug overlooks both the front garden and gives access to a pretty internal courtyard, offering a sheltered spot to sit or work outdoors. The main open plan kitchen dining sitting room is an expansive, light filled room with full height glazing framing lovely views over the rear garden with French doors opening the space on to the outside terrace. Built in window seating at one end incorporates extra storage and gives a perfect spot for a quiet read. The kitchen is well appointed and laid out to suit the practicalities of everyday living, with an excellent range of units complemented by a mix of stainless steel and butchers block worktops alongside integrated appliances. Just off the kitchen is a generous, fully fitted utility room, complete with a walk in larder. In addition, off the reception hall is a guest cloakroom and generous airing cupboard. Throughout the house are skylights to maximise the light, zoned underfloor heating with thermostatic controls and plentiful built in, full height storage.

The bedroom accommodation is well balanced, with three double bedrooms all accessed from the reception hall. The principal bedroom is a quiet retreat, overlooking the rear garden and enjoying a luxurious en suite shower room and a fully fitted walk in wardrobe. The two remaining bedrooms are both a good size and are served by a well appointed family shower room.

The outside space forms an integral part of the home, cleverly landscaped and exceptionally well designed. To the front are raised beds, framed in reclaimed railway sleepers and well stocked with a variety of plants, fruit and vegetables. Thoughtfully placed seating areas offer perfect spots for a coffee or to catch the sun. To the rear, a tapestry of herbaceous plants and ornamental grasses bring texture, movement and seasonal colour. Pathways weave through the garden leading to vegetable and fruit beds. A terrace adjoins the rear of Cherryfield, perfect for outside dining and entertaining with a further seating dining patio in the heart of the garden. In addition there is a controlled irrigation system and outdoor lighting. Of particular note is the green wild meadow flat roof, a sustainable roofing system. To the front farm style timber gates opens on to the private driveway with parking for several vehicles.
