Upon entering the full-height reception hall, one is struck by the sense of space and light. The study/music room is to one side of the hall with the family room and 23' x 15' sitting room to the other. The latter has an attractive inglenook fireplace incorporating a wood-burning stove and French doors to the rear garden. Likewise, the large, open-plan kitchen and dining room have two pairs of French doors making this a fabulous house for entertaining. Clearly the domain of a serious cook, the kitchen has numerous integrated appliances including two ovens and flagstone flooring. Great attention has been paid to every detail including USB sockets on the large central island as well as underfloor heating throughout, double glazing and lovely wooden doors. The cloakroom and utility room with a door to the garage complete ground floor accommodation. On the first floor there are five bedrooms, two of which have en suite bathrooms in addition to the family bathroom. The principal suite is highly impressive; it has a walk-in dressing room and the en suite bathroom has a luxuriously deep bathtub and a large shower. Two of the bedrooms have fitted wardrobes and there is additional hanging space in the airing cupboard. Access is provided to the boarded loft by a pull-down ladder.OutsideScreened from the lane by tall hedging, the drive is bordered by an area of lawn to one side and shrubs to the other whilst a path opens from an arch created within the hedge; a very pretty feature. To the rear, the south-westerly-facing gardens are delightful and offer a great deal of privacy, surrounded by hedges and bordering an orchard and a field where sheep can often be seen grazing. A terrace runs across the back of the house - ideal for al fresco dining - and there is a large lawn and mature trees as well as a children's play area.SituationBledlow lies at the foot of the Chiltern Hills and is surrounded by beautiful countryside and a network of footpaths and bridleways.
