Description
Originally forming part of the Ponds Farm Estate as the dairy and stables, this beautiful property is thought to date back to the late 1800s and retains a host of original features. The house is arranged over two floors, alongside a self-contained annexe and exudes charm and character having been sympathetically converted to provide ideal family accommodation, expertly combining rustic, original features with contemporary design.
The ground floor offers an easy flow between the main living spaces with the front door opening into the generous reception hall. The kitchen/dining/family room is a beautifully designed and characterful space, divided into three distinct areas creating an open, sociable layout with a rotating wood burner as a central feature. The kitchen is bespoke fitted with integrated appliances including an electric Aga.
Across the hall the study and games room is a fabulous space, perfect for families and incorporating an old stable door as a charming feature, while French doors open to the garden. There is door access from this room into the annexe, which is well appointed with a kitchenette, sitting room, large bedroom and en suite shower room. The annexe affords a flexible use of space, ideal for guests or an au pair, with the benefit of private access from the front courtyard. Overlooking the gardens, both the drawing room and sitting room enjoy a dual aspect with feature fireplaces and wood burning stoves. From the drawing room French doors open the room to the terrace during summer months.
On the first floor are four beautifully appointed and characterful bedrooms alongside a family bathroom and a separate shower room. Overlooking the garden the principal bedroom benefits from both a fully fitted dressing room and an en suite shower room. In addition is a delightful reading room with its bow window flooding the room with natural light, ideal as a nursery/occasional bedroom.
Gardens
The landscaped gardens of Ponds Farm are a real feature of the property, wrapping around the house with extensive areas of lawn with raised, well stocked flower borders providing colour and scent. The gardens are well enclosed and offer a good deal of privacy. Just off the sitting room a large terrace gives an ideal spot for entertaining friends and family. Electric gates open to a private driveway leading to a large enclosed courtyard to the rear of the house providing ample parking. In addition is a detached, brick built outbuilding, ideal for storage but could have a multitude of uses.
Location
The pretty, sought after village of Seer Green is nestled in the tranquil Buckinghamshire countryside offering a small variety of shops, two local pubs, a well-regarded village school and a wonderful recreation ground, ideal for families.
More comprehensive facilities are available in Gerrards Cross and the market town of Beaconsfield. On the doorstep, the local countryside provides some excellent walks and bridle paths along the Chiltern footpaths and of particular note is a local vineyard offering wine tasting and countryside activities.
This family home is ideal for commuters as Seer Green and Jordans station is about a mile away, offering a mainline train service to London Marylebone while the M40 (J2) affords access to London, Heathrow and the M25.
The area benefits from the grammar school system with schools in Amersham, Little Chalfont, Beaconsfield and High Wycombe. Local independent preparatory schools include Thorpe House, Davenies, Caldicott (for boys); St. Marys, High March, Maltmans Green (for girls) and Gayhurst for girls and boys, to name a few.
Square Footage: 4,523 sq ft
