Lake View House is an impressive seven-bedroom family home with excellent proportions and far-reaching views. The house was built in the early 1990s with the principal reception and bedrooms looking out over Farmoor Reservoir. The house, which is situated in a raised position, is approached by electric gates and a sweeping driveway with space for plenty of cars. There are several mature trees surrounding the house, with a pretty assortment of topiary beds and shrubs at the front of the house near a parking area and a double-bay garage.

Accessed via stone steps and a charming porchway, the first room of the house is a grand reception hall with high ceilings and a large galleried staircase. To the left is a sizeable drawing room with corniced ceilings, dual aspect bay windows and an ornate wooden and marble hearth. Continuing through to the westerly side of the house, there is a spacious and bright orangery with very high ceilings, which was added on a couple of years after the initial build. To the right of the reception hall is the dining room, which enjoys amazing far-reaching views through a floor-to-ceiling bay window. Further along, the corridor is a sitting room with French doors providing access to a pretty terrace at the front of the house – the perfect spot for taking in the beautiful countryside views. The main reception rooms in the house lend themselves very well to both family life and entertaining on a grand scale. The kitchen offers views of the back garden and is a good size with a small breakfast bar and seating area, which can also be accessed via a side door in the double-bay garage.

On the first floor, there is a charming triple aspect principal bedroom suite with a corniced ceiling and bay window. There is also a large connecting en suite bathroom and dressing area. On the first floor, there are four further bedrooms, all with en suite facilities. Up a smaller set of stairs, the second floor accommodates two sizeable bedrooms, a home office and a large attic storeroom.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
