An attractive detached property, extended and much improved to create a spacious and well planned modern family home, set within glorious parkland style gardens of around 1.6 acres.
Chiltern Lodge is a handsome detached property, extended and much improved by its current owner to create a spacious and well planned family home set within glorious parkland style gardens of about 1.6 acres. The property enjoys a clever L.shaped design allowing for attractive views over the gardens and grounds from every room.
Accessed over a generous, part vaulted entrance hall, the living accommodation has been remodelled to provide a superb dual aspect living room with a feature inglenook style brick fireplace with wood burning stove and matching sets of double doors opening out onto the rear garden. Adjacent to the living room is another dual aspect family room with a further door leading to a hobbies room. There is a centrally positioned dining room with concertina doors allowing for an open plan feel and an extensively fitted home office/study.
The property has been enlarged to allow for a most impressive kitchen/ breakfast room which overlooks both the courtyard to the front and gardens to the rear. Comprehensively fitted with an extensive range of base level and full height units this room provides a relaxed and informal family living space. Located next to the kitchen is a good size utility/boot room with a handy pantry cupboard and access to the double garage.
The first floor is again generous with a long galleried landing giving access to five double bedrooms served by two remodelled and well-appointed bath/shower rooms (one en suite). The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the property. Extensively landscaped with an open parkland aesthetic, the gardens envelop the property giving privacy and seclusion. A recently redesigned split level terrace wraps around the rear of the property creating a lovely outside entertaining space from which from which to enjoy the gardens.
The extensive lawns are gently broken up by manicured hedgerows and a further patio area whilst interspersed with specimen trees, all framed with mature trees. With the rear garden is a most impressive garden kitchen, brick built in an oak framed barn style, the kitchen features a built in BBQ and pizza oven along with power, light and seating areas.
Positioned next to the garden kitchen are expensive vegetable beds and a small fruit orchard. To the rear of the garden is a large store which has potential for use as a studio, gym, games room or similar subject to the relevant consent.
The house is accessed past an attractive brick entrance and over a large sweeping gravel driveway providing ample parking with a turning area leading to the garage and an oak framed car port.
