5 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Built at the beginning of the 20th century by the renowned firm, H J & A Wright, this property is an excellent example of the style of architecture at the time with attractive sloping rooves, cross gables, hung tiles and a pretty external porch with an ox-eye window above. Period features include dado rails and oak doors. The key reception rooms open off the split-level reception hall with the dining room opening through French doors to the triple aspect drawing room which features an open fire with a marble surround and ornate wooden mantelpiece. In addition to French doors on one side, there is a large bay window offering views across the gardens. These two rooms create a magnificent space for entertaining, winter and summer alike. On the other side of the hall, the open-plan breakfast room and kitchen work well for less formal entertaining. The study, family room, wine store and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation. Rising to the first floor there are four bedrooms, a family bathroom and a night cloakroom. The principal bedroom is dual aspect with an arched ceiling whilst the en suite bathroom is vaulted with exposed beams and has a luxurious free-standing roll-top bath. The current owner added a self-contained annexe to the eastern end of the house. With warm oak flooring and a vaulted ceiling, this complements the main house perfectly and comprises a kitchen/utility room, bedroom and wet room as well as a sitting room with French doors to the decked terrace; the perfect spot for al fresco dining. The mezzanine above the sitting room is full of natural light and is used as a games room. With the exception of the cloakroom, sanitary ware throughout is by Villeroy & Boch and Hansgrohe.OutsideThe house is approached via an electrically-operated gate opening onto a shingle drive where there is plenty of parking space in addition to the double garage. Lawn surrounds the house on three sides and there are magnificent views to the fields beyond. A few steps descend to a slightly sunken area of lawn which was formerly the site of a tennis court and this could easily be re-established if desired. The grounds are surrounded by mature hedging, trees and a few attractive roses are planted against the rear of the house.SituationLocated very close to both Little Kingshill and Great Missenden, this property is perfectly placed to take advantage of the extensive network of public footpaths and bridle paths.
