The triple aspect principal bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes, a large window to take full advantage of natural light and views over the garden, and an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom and all with fitted cupboards, and a separate family bathroom.

The gardens are a highlight of the property with wonderful views across to woodland and the Chiltern countryside. To the front of the property is a gravel driveway with parking for several cars and access to the garage and bordered by mature hedges.
The rear garden is south facing with a large paved terrace, accessed from the kitchen/conservatory and family room, with a pergola and vine providing shade from the sun, a superb space for al fresco entertaining. A decked veranda is accessed from the sitting room and family room, this lovely raised area is ideal to enjoy the amazing views. From the terrace steps lead up to the swimming pool area which is bordered by trellis and climbing shrubs, giving a sense of privacy from the rest of the garden. Steps lead to the rear of the pool area where the separate annexe can be found with its own garden and gated access.
