Description
Woodbank is a beautifully presented house, full of character with a delightful rear garden. The property dates back to the 1920s and has been enlarged and enhanced over the years to provide a lovely family home with a wonderful blend of contemporary and traditional features including fireplaces, stripped wood doors, picture rails and exposed brickwork.
A covered entrance porch leads to a stable door opening into the reception hall with wood flooring and staircase to the first floor. The sitting room lies to the front with a stripped wood built in cupboard and a decorative fireplace with an open fire. Very much the hub of the house is the open plan kitchen/dining/family room which provides a perfect family living space. The family room is charming, full of character with a brick fireplace and wood burner, together with a full height built in stripped wood cupboard. This room opens into the kitchen and dining area, overlooking the garden and with plenty of room for a good sized dining table. Bi-fold doors open on to the outside terrace and a large roof lantern floods the room with natural light. The kitchen is beautifully fitted with a range of luxury units complemented by stone worktops. Appliances include a Rangemaster and integrated dishwasher, with space for an American style fridge freezer. The utility room lies off the kitchen with a further range of units and storage with space for appliances and door access to the side of the house. A study, just off the family room, and a cloakroom off the reception hall completes the accommodation on the ground floor.
On the first floor the principal bedroom is located to the front, and enjoys a decorative fireplace and a dressing room. There are three further bedrooms together with a family bathroom and a separate shower room.
Outside
A gravelled driveway gives off road parking and gated side access leads to the long rear garden which is a real feature of the property. A generous terrace adjoins the rear of the house, accessed from the kitchen, and provides a lovely spot for outside dining and entertaining. The garden is mainly laid to lawn interspersed with a variety of trees including hornbeam, sycamore and a mature apple tree. At the rear of the garden is a lovely summer house, with electricity, and a gated area with a useful shed for outside storage. The garden is enclosed with high hedging giving a good deal of privacy.
Location
Beaconsfield 1.1 miles, M40 (J2) 3.2 miles, High Wycombe 6 miles, Gerrards Cross 7 miles, Heathrow (J5) 18 miles, central London 27 miles.
Woodbank is ideally situated in the semi-rural leafy hamlet of Forty Green which is conveniently located within 1.1 miles of Beaconsfield New Town with its extensive shopping facilities and mainline railway station. Forty Green is home to two local pubs, one of which is The Royal Standard, reputed to be the oldest free house in England with a rich history spanning over 800 years. Beaconsfield is popular with families and commuters, offering an unrivalled way of life due to its amenities and countryside setting in The Chilterns, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Excellent communication links include a mainline station into London Marylebone (fastest train from 24 minutes) and Birmingham, whilst the close proximity of the M40 and M25 enable access to central London and Heathrow and Gatwick airports. The picturesque Old Town dates back to the 13th Century and local amenities include a wide variety of restaurants, supermarkets and independent retailers. Sports enthusiasts are also well catered for with nearby tennis, riding, squash, golf, cricket, rugby and football clubs.
Buckinghamshire is renowned for its choice and standard of schooling. The county is one of the last to maintain the traditional grammar school system, and includes Beaconsfield High School and Wycombe High School for girls, and Royal Grammar School & John Hampden for boys in High Wycombe. Local independent preparatory schools include Davenies (Beaconsfield), High March (Beaconsfield), Caldicott (Burnham), The Beacon (Amersham), Pipers Corner (Great Kingshill) to name a few.
