Property description

A modern detached property with a double garage and off street parking, set in 0.79 acres of garden and paddock in a village position overlooking open countryside with notable views of the Chilterns.

Set on a plot of 0.79 acres, the high specification property was constructed in 2015 and fitted with contemporary kitchen and bathrooms, double-glazed leaded effect windows, solid oak doors, and underfloor heating on two floors. Part of a small group of houses in Bledlow village, the property, with brick and flint walls under a clay tiled roof, benefits from a modern layout, but is designed with a stylistic nod to the traditional architecture of the area. Particularly notable is the internal layout which takes full advantage of the impressive views from the rear of the building, such that two reception areas and the principal bedroom have bi-folding doors and a Juliet balcony, respectively, overlooking the paddock, the fields beyond, and taking in the vista of the Chilterns, which is framed by mature trees in the garden. While the impression given is one of tranquillity, the property is not isolated, being within easy reach of village amenities and transport links.

About The House cont'd

The house has approx. 2,963 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation arranged over two floors. The panelled wooden front door opens to an entrance hall with a staircase to the first floor landing, with painted balusters and an oak handrail. Double doors open to a storage cupboard (with a water softener), a downstairs cloakroom, the utility room, and the office; a partially glazed door accesses the family room. Partially glazed double doors open to the siting room and the open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining room. Porcelain tiles extend from the entrance hall to the kitchen area, the utility room, and the cloakroom. Moulded skirting boards feature throughout, and downstairs rooms have moulded coving. The galleried landing accesses all five bedrooms, two en suite, and a family bathroom. There is underfloor heating on both floors, the LPG fired Viessmann boiler was fitted recently (fed from an underground tank in the garden), and a Sonos sound system operates through the house.

Kitchen/Breakfast/Family Room

This open plan room has windows overlooking the drive and bi-fold doors in the dining area opening to the rear terrace and garden beyond. The kitchen has a range of fitted Shaker style base and wall units with quartz worktops and splashbacks, and an inset one-and-a-half stainless steel sink. The central island, with further storage, has a similar worktop and breakfast seating for four people. A Rangemaster cooker is beneath a decorative wooden mantel with an inset extractor above. Integrated appliances, all manufactured by Neff, include, two under-counter freezers, a full-height fridge/freezer, a wine cooler, a dishwasher, and a microwave.

Utility Room and Cloakroom

Across the entrance hall and opposite the kitchen area, is the utility room with matching Shaker style base and wall units and a worksurface with an inset stainless steel sink, and a glazed exterior door. There is a cupboard housing the boiler, and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.Off the entrance hall also, is the partially tiled cloakroom with an obscured window to the side and a marble shelf over the basin with a mirror covering the wall above. There is a matching WC and ample hooks for hanging coats.

Sitting Room

The 22 ft. by 17 ft. sitting room has two sets of bi-fold doors, one opening to the terrace on one side of the room and the other at the far end opening to the area of terrace continuing round to the rear of the house. These bi-fold doors, which nearly fill the end wall, create the effect of bringing the remarkable view from the garden – the paddock, fields beyond and view of the Chilterns – into the house. The sitting room fireplace, with a contemporary limestone surround and an inset wood burning stove, has flanking windows bringing more natural light into the room, typical of a house that, weather permitting, benefits from sunlight somewhere throughout the day. There are also built-in bookshelves.

Family Room and Office

At the front of the house, the family room has a canted bay window overlooking an area of paving in the drive. The over 15 ft. by over 13 ft. room could be used as a separate dining room.Like the family room, the office is accessed from the entrance hall and has French doors opening to the rear terrace, sharing the view of the open countryside. The house benefits from modern CAT 5 cabling and TV points throughout with hyperfast full fibre 900 pro broadband, which is housed in the understairs cupboard containing the plant room.

Principal Bedroom and En Suite Shower Room

Measuring 17 ft. by over 13 ft. the principal bedroom has unleaded French doors, with flanking windows, opening to a Juliet balcony with a reinforced glass balustrade. Being on the first storey, the impression given by the view over the rear garden and across open countryside towards the Chilterns is heightened. The room has built-in, floor-to-ceiling wardrobes incorporating hanging space, shelves and drawers, and a door to the en suite shower room. This room has an obscured window at the side, a ceramic tiled floor, and partially tiled walls. There is a walk-in double shower with a Hansgrohe Raindance shower head, a WC, a double-sized basin built into a vanity unit and a marble window sill.

Bedroom Two and En Suite Shower Room

Double aspect bedroom two (over 16 ft. by over 15 ft.), has windows overlooking the side and the drive and built-in wardrobes, similar to those in the principal bedroom. The en suite shower room has an obscured window and marble effect tiles behind the corner shower and above the basin which is built into a vanity unit. There is a WC and the floor has porcelain tiles.

Bedrooms Three and Four and Family Bathroom

Bedrooms two and three are similar in layout, they each have leaded windows overlooking the drive, (bedroom 3) or the rear garden (bedroom four), and one of the walls in each room reflects the shape of the roof above. Both bedrooms have double doors opening to low eaves storage and separate sets of three, deep drawers again built into the eaves. Bedroom five, currently used as a gym, overlooks the rear garden, and has access in the ceiling, with a concealed folding ladder, to the loft space. All three bedrooms, as elsewhere in the house, have recessed spot downlighting.The family bathroom has an obscured window, a ceramic tiled floor, and partially tiled walls. There is a panelled bath with a marble surround and splash back, and a matching marble window sill. The double length basin, set in a vanity unit with two drawers, has a mirror inset into the wall above. There is a WC and a corner shower.

Front Drive

From the road, a five-bar gate opens to the gravelled driveway, which accesses the double garage and the front of the house. The front of the property is enclosed by mature hedging and timber fencing on each side of the house, with gates on both sides to the rear garden. There is off street parking for up to four cars, an area of lawn, and a paved area under the family room window, which forms part of the path to the tiled porch over the front door.

Rear Garden and Paddocks

A paved terrace, providing extensive seating, is adjacent to the rear of the house, with an additional gravelled area; there is external water and power. The end of the terrace is enclosed by post and rail fencing, lined with hedging, with a single and a double gate opening to the garden. The rear garden, enclosed by timber fencing and mainly laid to lawn, is partially screened by mature indigenous trees such as lime and beech, which provide shade and shelter, but frame rather than obscure the view. There is a planted border on the left, a path, and an apple tree. The paddock, which continues from the lawned garden, is enclosed by established hedges and backs onto farmland with the remarkable view over open countryside already mentioned.

Double Garage

The separate double garage is designed to accord with the house, it is brick-built with a pitched clay tiled room. There are two electrically operated doors into the undivided space which has a concreted floor and a personnel door at the side nearest the gate to the drive. The garage has light and power.An additional point about the solar panels on the roof: these are owned (not leased), and are not currently linked to the grid since the energy is for personal consumption.

Location

The property is in Bledlow village, at the foot of the Chiltern Hills in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and about three miles away from the amenities in Princes Risborough. Bledlow has a parish church, the Lions of Bledlow public house dating from the 16th Century and a lively, popular cricket club. There is also The Lyde Garden – a privately owned aquatic garden - and access to the Ridgeway for country walks. There is a regular bus/rail link service from Bledlow village hall to Princes Risborough station. The property is in catchment for grammar schools in Buckinghamshire rated by Ofsted as Outstanding.
