Property description

A modern four bedroom detached house with a separate workshop/garden office, driveway parking and established wraparound gardens in a village location in a conservation area.

Built in 2009, the brick under clay tile property has approximately 2,354 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over two floors and is surrounded by its own gardens in Wingrave Conservation Area. The ground floor has underfloor heating throughout, and includes the entrance hall opening into the sitting room and the study, both with box bay windows, the utility room, the cloakroom, and the open plan kitchen/dining/family room. This contemporary open plan space spans the nearly 33 ft. width of the house and has three sets of French doors opening to the patio and rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn, with raised vegetable beds and mature trees. Stairs rise to the first floor landing, leading to four double bedrooms, two of which are en suite, and a three piece family bathroom. Adjacent to the property is the detached garage, which has double garage doors at the front and has been converted to a workshop at the front and a home office at the rear, with French doors to the garden.

Ground Floor

The front door, with a glazed side panel, opens to the entrance hall, accessing the study and over 22 ft. long sitting room, both overlooking the front garden and driveway. The dual aspect sitting room has a feature fireplace flanked by windows. The kitchen/dining/family room opens at three points to the garden, and enables a view through to the rear garden from the front door. The kitchen has base and wall fitted units with a contrasting worksurface and an inset sink. There is a gas fired range double oven with an extractor hood above, an integral eye-level combination oven, and space for an American style fridge/freezer.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Two of the four first floor double bedrooms have en suite shower rooms and there is a three piece main bathroom. Bedrooms one and two have fitted wardrobes, and overlook the lawned front garden with its clipped laurel hedging. Bedrooms three and four overlook the rear garden, which is mainly laid to lawn and has a paved patio adjacent to the house. There are herbaceous borders, raised vegetable beds with a wooden pergola, together with mature trees.

Situation and Schooling

The property is in catchment for Wingrave Church of England Combined School and Cottlesloe Upper School in Wing. Aylesbury’s grammar schools are about 6 miles away, and Berkhamsted Boys and Girls Schools are just over 11 miles away.
