If This Was Your Home… - As you drive through the solid double entrance gates and along the driveway through electric gates, you'll either follow the track straight ahead leading you to your sixteen acres of land to the rear (subject to measuring), or turn onto a wide, block paved driveway to the front of your home that has ample parking space for four vehicles.
Stepping through the front door into your entrance hall, you'll find a spacious study immediately to your left, in here there is a window looking over the drive way. Home working is a breeze with fibre optic internet being available. If required this room could be used as another bedroom.
Further into the home to the left this is followed by two generous double bedrooms, and a stylish family bathroom placed in between. The bathroom is decorated in a sharp monochrome and grey palette, has chrome fixtures and fittings and the walk in shower stands separate to the double ended bath tub.
At the end of the entrance hall you'll arrive in the luxurious main bedroom, which has 340 square feet of floorspace, all covered in smooth engineered hardwood. A modern, bright en-suite shower room adds extra comfort and style, and fully glazed double doors give direct access to an outdoor terrace with hot tub which may be available via separate negotiation. Through the doors and windows you have amazing countryside views all the way to the horizon.
Back along the entrance hall you'll arrive in the heart of your home, a 475 square foot open plan kitchen and dining area. In here, you'll find kardean floorboards running throughout the dining space and laminate stone effect floor ti les in the kitchen area. Gloss mushroom cabinets house sleek integrated appliances, including a chef's oven and microwave, and pale green, metro tiled splashbacks run all the way round your kitchen. But the real show stealer in your kitchen is a gorgeous ebony, cream and brass trimmed range master, which no country home should be without.
From the dining area, a second set of patio doors give access to the rear terrace, but we're not quite ready to explore out there yet. First we'll take the internal, timber framed doors from the kitchen into your beautiful 265 square foot living room.
In this welcoming, relaxation and entertaining space, a wood burning stove provides the central focal point and is housed by an elegant mantel and hearth. Soft plush carpet runs underfoot and the whole room is tastefully decorated in neutral, earthy tones. Another set of bright patio doors opens onto the raised, decked terrace and fills the room with natural light.
Step outside and your breath will be taken away by the spectacular views across your terrace, lawn, and paddock, with lush green rolling fields that continue as far as the horizon. Out here you'll also find an expansive outdoor entertaining area, with a thatched roofed, bamboo constructed dining terrace and that fantastic, sheltered hot tub retreat. The tipi area and hot tub may be available by separate negotiation.
It's hard to overstate the sheer scale of the Buckinghamshire countryside arrayed before you here, your elevated deck is flanked by thriving mature foliage, framing that incredible vista perfectly, blue skies and fluffy clouds all the way to the horizon.
Beyond the hot tub, surrounded by mature foliage, there's a beautiful, 215 square foot Summer house, which could be used for a range of different purposes and would make an excellent games room, creative studio or additional home working space. The Summer house overlooks an expansive stretch of lawn where there's plenty of space for kickabouts and garden parties.
Continuing round to the side of your home, you'll pass two large outhouse stores of 130 and 220 square feet respectively. Opening a timber fenced gate and crossing a gravelled section of land, you'll arrive at your independent annex. A standalone affair, home to a 215 square foot open plan living area and fully equipped kitchen, as well as a 160 square foot bedroom with an en suite shower room. The perfect space for multi generational, independent living.
Further on, you'll find another timber fenced gate leading to that vast, 1065 square foot barn which lends itself to a variety of different uses and is an excellent storage space. Located on the 16 acres of land there are two barns/field shelters which total around 1300 square feet in size combined. The land would be suitable for an equestrian use, grazing or recreational uses.
We'll take one of the side entrances back into your home now. Two routes are available, the first enters via the utility room and ground floor WC, whereas the second takes you into the boot room. A very handy space for removing work clothes and footwear. Bedroom four is next door with a statement floral wallpaper. Here you have another very spacious double bedroom, this room could be utilised for a variety of uses including a music room.
Passing back into your entrance hall, the main staircase leads up to your first floor. Up here you'll find the fifth and sixth handsome double bedrooms. Both rooms have extra storage space in the eaves and the larger room comes in at an impressive 315 square feet, also with a generous purpose built storage cupboard and an en suite WC.
