Property description

A six/seven bedroom detached country house with a gym and garage/workshop, a barn and stable, on a plot of approximately 3.4 acres with landscaped wraparound gardens and a field, walking distance from village amenities.

The property has over 4,529 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation over three storeys with four double bedrooms on the first floor and up to three further bedrooms on the second floor which could alternatively be used as dressing room or games/sitting room. The ground floor has three reception rooms including a dining room with a bar and a study for working from home. There is also a kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining pantry, a boot room, utility room and a cloakroom. The extension is a versatile space which could be used as a fourth reception room or as an open plan kitchen/dining/family room once completed. The property sits within a plot of approximately 3.4 acres which is accessed via an electric gated entrance to a driveway which continues through the field and landscaped lawned gardens to a parking area which can accommodate numerous cars. Nearly 1,500 sq. ft of outbuildings include a garage with adjoining gym, and a detached barn/stable which is currently used for storage.

Design and Specification

Built in 1995, Field house is an award-winning property constructed utilising high quality materials in a traditional style but with the advantage of modern day efficiency. The current vendors bought the house in 2019 and since then have undertaken a comprehensive refurbishment and alteration programme which has included a new heating system with a new oil-fired boiler and new cast iron period style radiators throughout. The vendors have also upgraded the kitchen and pantry with additional units and integrated appliances, and remodelled the staircase with a bespoke oak and cast iron curved staircase. High specification finishes have been used throughout including solid oak and French limestone flooring, bespoke wallpaper, Farrow and Ball paintwork, oak internal ledged doors, and Hudson Reed brassware throughout the bath/shower and cloakrooms.The vendors have also considerably increased the square footage of the property adding a boot room and utility room to the rear, and converting the loft to create three versatile new rooms and a shower room. The garage has also been partly converted to create a gym with accessible space above.Planning permission was obtained to add a garden room to the side of the house along with a new two bay oak carport adjacent to the current garage. The construction of the carport has not commenced, but the garden room is substantially progressed with the advantage of new vendors being able to adapt the space to their chosen configuration and preference (changes to planning may be required). The green oak frame, masonry, and the roof have all been completed and approved by building control to the original scope.

Ground Floor

The front door opens into an entrance hall which has a bespoke handmade curved staircase with oak treads and cast iron and steel balustrades. The stairs curve around a custom-made feature chandelier which suspends from the second floor to the ground floor. The French limestone flooring continues into the kitchen/ breakfast room, pantry, cloakroom, boot room and utility room. The boot room is accessed via an opening from the hall and has an exposed brick and stone feature wall and windows and a door out to the rear garden. There is space for coat and shoe storage, and seating.

The utility room is accessed from the boot room and has storage cupboards, quartz work surfaces incorporating a Rangemaster Belfast sink, and space and plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The oil-fired boiler is concealed in a corner of the utility room under the work surface.

First Floor

The staircase leads up to a first floor landing and continues up to the second floor. The landing has solid oak parquet flooring, an exposed ceiling beam, space for a seating area and access to two eaves storage spaces, one of which is used as a plant room housing the pressurised water system.

Principal Bedroom Suite

The principal bedroom has dual aspect windows with views over the parterre garden. The dressing room is fitted with a comprehensive range of handmade, oak veneered wardrobes with a combination of hanging space and shelving, a shoe cupboard, and a range of glass fronted drawers which are designed to mimic haberdashery units. The dressing room leads to the en suite which has bespoke wallpaper, and a walk-in shower with a bespoke shower tray, and rainwater and standard shower heads. There is a Harvey George vanity unit with twin washbasins, a WC, and a towel radiator.

Other First Floor Bedrooms and Bathrooms

The second bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes spanning one wall, and wall panelling behind the bed. Cole and Sons wallpaper extends into the en suite shower room which has a walk-in shower, a WC, and a washbasin which is set on a unit reclaimed from the base of a threshing machine with a quartz surface. The third bedroom has dual aspect windows, and range of fitted wardrobes and dressing table spanning one wall. This bedroom has a door to the main bathroom which can also be accessed from the landing. It has a walk-in shower with rainwater and standard shower heads, a cast iron freestanding bateau bath, and Burlington WC and washbasin. There is a towel radiator and a built-in shelved wall cupboard. There is also a fourth double bedroom on the first floor with wall panelling behind the bed and bespoke mural wallpaper.

Second Floor

The vendors have converted the loft into additional accommodation with three additional rooms and a shower room leading off the second floor landing. The rooms could all be used as additional bedrooms if desired but currently one bedroom is being used as a dressing room and another bedroom is used as a study/sitting/games room. The space would work well for staff or the whole floor could be used as the principal suite with a dressing room and a private sitting room. The vendors have retained a feature panel which has the build completion date, the name of the designer and signatures of all the builders and tradesmen who worked on the original construction.

Garage/Workshop and Gym

The vendors have converted part of the original garaging to create a gym which has a cloakroom, an insulated and screeded floor with rubber gym flooring and space for five/six machines as well as floor exercises. The original garage openings have been glazed but the original garage doors have been retained to facilitate reconversion back to garaging if preferred. A door from the gym opens to the remaining garage which measures 17 ft. 5 by 14 ft. 8 and has space for a workshop as well as space to park a car. Stairs from the gym lead up to a first floor workshop/store which measures over 35 ft. by over 16 ft. The building has power, light and water connected and has scope for further conversion, subject to obtaining and necessary planning permissions, to create an annexe if desired.

Barn and Stable

The stable has power and light and is currently used for garden machinery storage but could be used as a stable if required and the field, after which the house is named, could be fenced off to house a pony or other animals if needed.

Garden & Grounds

The property is set well back from the road in approximately 3.4 acres with gardens which wrap around the house. The whole plot is very private and secluded and is not directly overlooked.Electric gates with an intercom system open to a long gravel drive which leads to the house and a parking area outside the garage/gym. The field is nearest the road with mature hedgerow on the boundary to screen the property from view. The field has several mature trees interspersed and an orchard with apple, pear, plum, cherry and quince trees.A curved beech hedge separates the field from the formal garden which is lawned with mature trees interspersed and a circular bed with a stone urn and lavender and rose bushes. A mature Yew hedge separates the formal garden from the parterre garden which has symmetrical beds, some with box hedge borders, intersected by gravel pathways. There is space for a table and chairs for al fresco dining and entertaining, and a circular pond with a fountain.To the side of the formal garden and parterre there is a vegetable and cut flower garden with a small greenhouse. Beyond the vegetable garden there is a further entertaining space with a block paved patio and, behind the patio, there is an area with space to add a summerhouse, pagoda or an outdoor kitchen if desired and subject to obtaining any necessary permissions.The rear garden has gravel and paved seating areas by the house, bordered by a low wall with steps up through an arch with a clematis climbing over, to a lawned garden with shaped topiary bushes, and mature trees and hedges for screening.

Ground Floor Extension and Planning Permission

The oak framed extension measures over 25 ft. by 23 ft. and has a high vaulted ceiling with exposed Oak king trusses, and an open fireplace with a timber bressummer. The vendors intended the room as a family/garden room with sets of bi-fold doors to the front and rear gardens. Glazing has been installed in the gable ends but the vendors have decided against installing the bi-fold doors and internal finishes to allow purchasers to complete the room to their own preference dependent upon chosen use.The approved planning permission to build the garden room also includes permission to build a two-bay carport which would be set back from the existing home gym and detached from the main house. Full details of the planning decision can be found on the Buckinghamshire Council Aylesbury Vale area website under reference 21/00862/APP.
