A rare opportunity to purchase a characterful five bedroom detached family home on one of the most desirable roads in the area. Set on a mature south west facing plot of 0.48 acres.
The impressive width and size of the house is apparent from entry into the spacious hall which gives access to the principal rooms downstairs and an elegant stair case rises to the first floor. The hub of the house is the stunning open plan kitchen/ dining room which benefits from elevated views of the rear garden. The quality Martin Moore kitchen features a range of painted base and wall mounted units, stone surfaces, Porcelanosa tiling and is complemented by a generous utility room. The dual aspect drawing room has beautiful period detailing with a beamed ceiling, exposed brick wall and a central fireplace providing a focal point. A further reception room used by the current owners as a family room offers flexibility and the facility to have both informal and formal entertaining spaces ideally suited for modern family life.
On the first floor lies five generous bedrooms, the 2nd bedroom is currently being enjoyed by the present owners as a games/ cinema room. The luxurious principal suite benefits from a walk-in dressing room and large en suite bathroom fully tiled in marble. The guest bedroom also enjoys an en suite bathroom in addition to a built in wardrobe with the three remaining bedrooms supported by a good size family bathroom.
Given the large plot we believe there is excellent potential to extend subject to the usual planning permissions. There is lapsed planning for a detached double garage to the front of the house with plans available on the High Wycombe council website using reference 10/05273/ful.
Outside
Approached via electric wrought iron gates, the house is well set back from the road nestled discreetly behind mature hedging. An attractive paved driveway affords ample parking for a number of vehicles supplemented by an integral double garage. There is a section of lawn to the front of the property with two more lawns at the rear, a substantial level lawn and cloistered garden area adjacent to the swimming pool. The spacious south westerly rear garden is a wonderful feature of this characterful family home and is flanked by hedged borders offering a high degree of seclusion. A terrace adjacent to the rear of the house provides an ideal space for fine weather dining with an electric sun canopy giving optional shade. Steps leading down to a raised sun terrace and heated swimming pool complete with shower room, kitchen and changing room (formerly sauna) providing the perfect outdoor lifestyle. A further terrace and summer house complete the entertaining options in this peaceful oasis.
Situation
The property is situated on Manor Road a prestigious private road in the popular village of Penn. The area provides a range of local amenities including local pubs, convenience store, village green with picturesque duck pond and village hall. Beaconsfield is nearby with a comprehensive range of shopping facilities, quality restaurants and public houses. Fast trains from Beaconsfield and High Wycombe allow commuters to connect to London Marylebone in under 30 minutes. Whilst the M40 motorway at junction 3 is approximately 5 miles distant giving wider access to the M25 and M4, with Heathrow close by. The area is renowned for its outstanding education with a wide range of highly regarded state and private schools including The Royal Grammar School, John Hampden Grammar School, Beaconsfield High School, Dr Challoners High School for Girls, Dr Challoners Grammar School for Boys, Wycombe Abbey, Godstowe, Berkhamsted School, Eton, Merchant Taylors and Harrow.
