An impressive family home with land, superbly presented throughout set in about eight acres with a charming one bedroom self contained flat and equestrian facilities.
Description
Occupying a generous plot approaching eight acres, The Gables is nestled in semi-rural surroundings at the foot of the Chiltern Hills, with stunning views over the rolling countryside, yet conveniently located between the thriving market towns of Princes Risborough and Wendover. The property offers beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors, ideal for growing families, alongside a self-contained one bedroom apartment, equestrian facilities, three paddocks and formal gardens. Perfect for those seeking a tranquil lifestyle with easy access to local amenities and transport links.
The Gables dates back to about 1900 and has undergone a complete renovation including an extension, by the current owners about twenty years ago, artfully pairing original architectural features with more modern design. The internal layout on all floors takes full advantage of the impressive views over the garden and beyond.
On the ground floor there are three main reception rooms, all with beautiful feature fireplaces and box bay windows overlooking the front garden. The triple aspect dining room is of excellent proportions, with bi-fold doors opening on to the rear garden. A further central reception space, ideal as a family room opens into the entrance hall and through to the charming sitting room. The kitchen/breakfast room is ideally suited for the practicalities of everyday living. There is ample room for a family dining table with bi-fold doors extending the space into the garden. The kitchen itself is well equipped with a range of units complemented by granite worktops and appliances including a Brittania stove. An adjacent inner hallway benefits from further storage and a larder. To complete the ground floor accommodation is a guest cloakroom and a generous, fully fitted utility room, with excellent floor to ceiling built in storage.
On the first floor a generous landing provides a cosy versatile space, ideal as a sitting area or children’s play area. Of particular note is the wood flooring, some original, extending to all of the rooms. There are four characterful double bedrooms on this floor all framing captivating views of the garden and beyond. The principal bedroom enjoys a dual aspect with a dressing room and en suite bathroom. The guest room also benefits from an en suite shower room whilst the two remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bath/shower room. On the top floor are two further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom, both with eaves storage.
The property is set on a generous plot with landscaped, wraparound formal gardens providing a delightful backdrop to the house and a field with a wooden field shelter beyond. A gravelled driveway provides ample parking and there is a two bay car port. A terrace area adjoins the house with an oak framed porch providing a shady refuge. Large areas of manicured lawn to the front and rear are interspersed with well stocked and tended flower beds and a variety of trees including an old orchard with apple, pear, rowen and crab apple. To the rear in the far corner is a kitchen garden area with raised vegetable beds. The Gables benefits from excellent equestrian facilities including a 20 x 40m manège, 3 stables, yard and a storage barn. About 7.95 acres in all.
Old Orchard (self-contained flat)
This beautifully executed self-contained accommodation above the car port and adjacent tack room and tool shed, is arranged over two floors. The front door opens into a hallway and through to a utility area. Upstairs the main living space is most attractively presented, with a vaulted sitting/kitchen/dining room, bedroom and bathroom.
