Sly Corner House is situated on the outskirts of Lee Common in the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just 2.5 miles north of Great Missenden.
Sly Corner House retains a number of charming period features including leaded light and sash windows, open fireplaces and exposed beams. The house is accessed through the porch which leads to the hallway with parquet flooring and stairs rising to the first floor. Immediately to the right is the double aspect sitting room overlooking the garden, with exposed ceiling beams, a lovely open fireplace and parquet flooring. A door leads through to the large drawing room, again with an open fireplace and exposed ceiling beams. Two sets of double doors open into the L-shaped conservatory, giving delightful views over the gardens and grounds.
The double aspect kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a modern range of eye and base level units with integrated appliances. A door opens to the coat room and pantry beyond. A separate utility room houses the laundry facilities. A study, a guest cloakroom and a formal dining room with open fireplace complete the ground floor accommodation. There is also a basement with a boiler room and a separate wine store.
The first floor landing, approached by either of the two staircases gives access to 6 double bedrooms, all with built-in storage and exposed ceiling beams, along with 3 family bathrooms.
The gardens and grounds of Sly Corner House extend to just over 2.5 acres and are a true highlight of the property.
The front is accessed via a gravel driveway leading to a parking area for a number of cars and 2 garages. To the side of the garage is an attached wood store and a room housing the oil tanks. Beyond this is the double-height large studio/workshop.
The garden comprises a variety of mature trees and woodland boundary. Immediately to the south side of the house is a large paved terrace, ideal for outside entertaining and beyond this are extensive well-maintained lawns, with mature shrub beds and herbaceous borders.
There is an outdoor heated swimming pool with a paved surround and a chalet-style pool house and a separate pump house.
There is direct access from the garden to a extensive network of public footpaths and bridleways, providing delightful countryside walks and rides through the Chiltern Hills.
There is further land (approximately 8.5 acres) available by separate negotiation.
Within the village is a Church of England Infant School, a community-run village shop and tennis courts. Close-by is an 11th century and a 19th century church, along with the popular Cock and Rabbit public house in the pretty village of The Lee. The nearby village of Great Missenden offers a range of shops for day-to-day needs and access to the Chiltern Line, whilst Amersham and Chesham offer more comprehensive facilities, along with access to the Metropolitan Line.
Sly Corner House lies within the catchment area for a number of Ofsted rated 'outstanding' schools, including Chesham Grammar for boys and girls, Dr Challoner's Grammar for boys and Dr Challoner's High for girls. There are also a number of popular independent schools nearby, including The Beacon, The Gateway, Godstowe and Wycombe Abbey.
