5 bedroom detached house for sale

An appealing and versatile family home in a quite delightful setting in this much admired part of the Chilterns.

Sandycot was originally built in the 1930’s and substantially extended over subsequent years to create an exceptionally versatile family home. The current owner created a self-contained one bedroom annexe adjoining the main house perfect for a dependant relative or a small business.

The front door opens into a particularly generous reception room with a staircase up to the first floor. There is a cosy double aspect sitting room with a deep bay window and an open fireplace. A separate dining room connects with the dual aspect family room which in turn has doors out onto the garden. The kitchen was refitted just two years ago and is well equipped including integrated appliances, induction hob, underfloor heating, a breakfast bar, quartz work surfaces, a larder and a water softener. Off the kitchen is a utility room with a cloakroom and a door out to the rear courtyard.

On the first floor there is a large dual aspect principal bedroom, three further bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower.

ANNEXE

The self-contained annexe, accessed from the courtyard, has a large, combined kitchen and living space with a bathroom and a separate bedroom that is currently being used as an office

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a driveway which leads to parking in front of the house. The driveway continues to the left side with a small greenhouse and to the right into the courtyard with the triple garage block. Off the garage is a further office that could be a workroom or gym.

The gardens are a delight and mainly to lawn with shrubs, beds and mature hedging on the boundary. To the rear of the garden is a wonderful flower meadow with over 70 varieties of wild flowers, including Orchids and in particular the rare Bee Orchid and White Helleborine. The owner has put together the following website which documents the seasons . There is a further lightly wooded area with a picnic table and chairs making a perfect playground for children.
