Property description

A modern detached four bedroom house with a one bedroom annexe, and extensive equestrian facilities including stable blocks, a poly tunnel and a manège set in 9.3 acres, within walking distance from amenities in the North Buckinghamshire village of Grendon Underwood.

The main house has versatile ground floor accommodation with wood laminate floors in the reception rooms. A particular feature is the open plan kitchen/dining room and sitting room. The dining and sitting rooms both have doors to the garden giving an excellent flow from interior to exterior space for modern life and entertaining. The sitting room has a vaulted ceiling, a lantern skylight, and an opening to an adjacent snug with a brick fireplace with a log burning stove, and access to the games room. The first floor landing has built-in storage and access to five bedrooms and a four piece family bathroom. Extensive professional equestrian facilities are situated beyond the garden accessed via a private gravel drive with parking for multiple cars or horseboxes. Timber outbuildings incorporate 19 stables, a tack room and an over 35 ft. by nearly 33ft old barn. There is a fully enclosed, professional rubber-and-sand manège and fenced, partitioned paddocks.

Ground Floor

The kitchen/dining room is the hub of the house, and has bespoke oak cabinets, multi-toned tiled splashbacks and white work surfaces. Windows with integrated plantation shutters overlook a private courtyard. There is a range cooker, other integrated appliances and low-maintenance terracotta floor tiles. The property blends open plan living with character. The snug is a large open brick fireplace with a heavy timber mantel and a Clearview log burning stove. The dining room also has a Clearview log burning stove. The vaulted sitting room is an extension at the rear of the house and has natural light from a central glass roof lantern, and windows and glazed doors to the rear garden.

First Floor

The triple aspect principal bedroom has a modern four piece en suite bathroom with a separate bath and corner shower cubicle. Bedroom two and bedroom three are both double rooms overlooking the rear, while bedrooms four and five offer flexible spaces suitable as additional bedrooms or home offices. Bedroom two has a range of fitted wardrobes.

Gardens and Equestrian Facilities

Spanning the rear of the house there is a split-level paved terrace for outdoor dining and entertaining. The rest of the rear garden is mainly lawned with established floral borders, mature trees and a hidden hot tub deck area. Close-boarded fencing and hedges at the side give privacy. Post and rail fencing at the rear allows unbroken views over the equestrian facilities which are engineered for professional use, and are centred around an all-weather manège with excellent drainage and a series of partitioned, level grazing paddocks.
