Property description & features

Buckshorn House is a modern and substantial five bedroom eco-friendly family home offering over 2900 sq.ft of spacious accommodation, and is located in a small private gated community surrounded by scenic open countryside situated between Whipsnade Heath and the outskirts of Kensworth Village.

The community offers natural quiet surroundings, woodland trails, and open-field footpaths, providing an ideal rural lifestyle for those who want to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the countryside while remaining close to the nearby towns of Berkhamsted and Harpenden. Positioned in its secluded location, Buckshorn House is only a few minutes away from Whipsnade Zoo and Dunstable Downs, making it an excellent choice for those who want to explore and enjoy the area's attractions. The property was built approximately five years ago, and it showcases modern contemporary construction, incorporating a high level of eco insulation to find the perfect balance between the natural surroundings and modern comforts. Buckshorn House is presented to an exceptionally high standard throughout, offering spacious and flexible accommodation that is ideal for 21st Century living. The property is light and airy, and it sits in an exclusive gated development with just three other houses, making it a rare and unique opportunity for those looking for a private and peaceful lifestyle.

Entering this modern family home is a spacious and welcoming reception area with a tiled floor and a beautiful oak and glass staircase. Upon entering, double doors lead to a family area that offers a view of the garden and is bright and airy thanks to its dual aspect. Bi-fold doors open to a terrace, and there is a large opening that leads to the kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted with high-quality floor and wall mounted cupboards. The kitchen also has ample quartz work surfaces, an island with additional storage and a breakfast bar, as well as built-in appliances such as three ovens, a five-ring ceramic hob, a wine chiller, two full-height fridge/freezers, a full-height freezer, and a dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate utility room which is fully fitted with floor and wall mounted cupboards and quartz work surfaces, and also has plumbing for a washing machine and houses a hot water tank and a water softener. The entrance hall extends to a dual aspect separate sitting room which features an electric fire with an attractive flame effect as a focal point, and storage recesses on both sides of the fireplace. The study is located on the ground floor and has fitted cupboards along one wall, while the cloakroom has a white suite comprising a low-level WC and wash basin with a drawer underneath. Finally, bedroom five completes the ground floor and benefits from an ensuite shower room with a white suite comprising a shower cubicle, wash basin with drawer underneath, and a WC.

The property is accessed via an electric gate with a video entry system, and CCTV providing additional layers of security.

The gardens at Buckshorn House are fully enclosed with timber fencing and have been professionally landscaped with mature beds and borders, featuring a variety of established shrubs. The main garden area is laid mainly to lawn, providing an attractive outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment. Buckshorn House is a link detached property, with a small portion of the rear wall connected to the adjoining house. The adjoining property sits at a lower level, which may provide additional privacy for Buckshorn House. The property also features a paved sun terrace, which is extremely private and ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. The terrace is accessed via timber steps, which lead up to a storage shed. There is also an additional seating area on timber decking, providing an alternative outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment.

Kensworth is conveniently located within easy reach of the M1 Junction 9 and Luton airport, making it ideal for those who need to travel further afield. The village is also well-connected by rail, with both the Thameslink railway line and the West Coast main line within easy reach, providing quick and convenient links to London and the North. The village is also within easy driving distance of a number of towns and cities, including Harpenden, St. Albans, Milton Keynes and the M25, making it a great base for exploring the wider area.
