The main open-plan living area is situated within a superb triple aspect room and combines a beautifully designed, bespoke kitchen by St Giles Furniture comprising a comprehensive range of floor, wall and full height units with a feature central island. To the rear of the room an informal dining area is flanked by two sets of bi-folding doors which open out seamlessly into the gardens.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a snug/t.v. area cleverly separated in part to give privacy and with internal concertina doors. From here an inner hallway leads past a secondary family room and into a series of functional rooms currently used as a utility and boot room.

The lower section leads down to two rooms currently used a bedroom and gym, both with en suite facilities, whist the upper floor is a part vaulted games room.

GARDENS & GROUNDS
The gardens and grounds have been extensively landscaped and carefully designed with specifically zoned areas ideal for both ease of maintenance and to separate the multi-faceted setting. The property itself is positioned well back within the grounds and is approached via electronically operated gates and over a sweeping driveway which branches off to give access to the equestrian areas and cottage.

Within the formal gardens there is a recently constructed heated swimming pool which is flanked by a large patio and timber gazebo, along with a separate summer house. The gardens themselves are interspersed with mature specimen trees and secured with animal friendly fencing. Situated on the edge of rolling Chiltern Hills, the views from the top of the gardens are spectacular.
