Property description

A modern, individually designed four bedroom detached property with garaging, driveway parking, and secluded established gardens in a plot of approximately 0.63 acres, in a village location.

This modernist property was built in possibly 1920 and has been architecturally remodelled to provide approximately 2,725 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation arranged over two levels. Under a tiled roof and with rendered exterior walls, the original Art Deco lines have been softened by the addition of a curved entrance hall, angled rooflines and glazed walls and windows. From the drive, the glazed front door opens to a circular satellite entrance hall with a vaulted conical roof, two further glazed doors to the front garden and a door to an inner hallway with the main staircase to the first floor. Doors access three separate reception rooms and a walkthrough leads to the open plan kitchen/dining room/snug. A further door in the kitchen area accesses a ground floor cloakroom, a separate wet room and a door to the garden. Leading off the first floor landing are two bedrooms and a family bathroom. A glazed bridge connects to two further bedrooms and a shower room.

Ground Floor

The kitchen/breakfast/snug room has bi-fold doors to the patio with rear garden views and windows overlooking the front garden. The kitchen has wooden fronted base and wall units below tiled worksurfaces and a central gas hob with an extractor above, an integrated double oven, and space for white goods. The sitting room has bi-fold doors which open to the patio, and a contemporary open fire. There are also a family room and a study with a box bay window overlooking the front garden.

First Floor

There are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a shower room across the first floor. The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, a dressing area with in-built wardrobes, and a sliding glazed door to an AstroTurfed balcony. Dual aspect bedroom has a fully glazed wall dividing it from an inner hallway which connects to a part glazed bridge between the main house and two further bedrooms and a shower room. Over 21 ft. by 14 ft. bedroom two is currently used as a second sitting room, has a vaulted ceiling, a gas fire, and French doors accessing a wraparound veranda overlooking the gardens.

Outside

A paved driveway provides parking for multiple cars ahead of a double garage. One gate between the house and garage and another to the left lead to a terrace at the rear. The west facing rear garden has been landscaped and planted to provide a private setting, helped by established borders and mature trees, amongst which are nestled a pond, a pergola, a tree house, and a store. Separated by a gate and hedging, the end of the garden has been left wild and backs onto woodland.

Situation and Schooling

Bellingdon is a village within the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with country walks and bridlepaths close to hand.
