5 bedroom detached house for sale

An attractive, detached family home, positioned superbly at the end of this rarely available cul-de-sac. This fine residence, built by Berkeley Homes, has been cherished by the current owners for 30 years and is offered for sale with no onward chain. The location is truly exceptional, situated just moments from the village centre and a very short walk away from the ancient woodland of Burnham Beeches.

Upon entering, a bright and spacious reception hall with polished tiled flooring creates an immediate sense of arrival. The ground floor is thoughtfully arranged for both formal entertaining and relaxed family life. To one side, the impressive 25ft triple-aspect drawing room features a classic brick fireplace and sliding doors that open onto the rear terrace, flooding the room with natural light. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the sleek, open-plan kitchen/breakfast room fitted with high-gloss cabinetry, a central island, and premium integrated appliances. This space flows effortlessly into a dedicated dining area and a separate family room, ensuring the home feels connected and social. Complementing the practical side of the home is a well-positioned utility room, which provides seamless integral access to the substantial double garage.

The first floor accommodation continues to impress with five double bedrooms arranged around a central gallery landing. The principal suite is a standout feature, offering generous proportions and a private four-piece en-suite bathroom. Bedroom two features a private en-suite shower room, while the remaining three bedrooms—one of which includes fitted wardrobes—are served by a modern family bathroom.

Gardens and Grounds

The exterior of the property is equally well-considered. To the front, an expansive block-paved driveway provides parking for several vehicles.

The rear garden is a true sanctuary, featuring a wide paved patio—perfect for alfresco dining—and a sprawling lawn bordered by mature trees and lush hedging that ensure a high degree of privacy.

Farnham Common is widely regarded as one of South Buckinghamshire’s most desirable villages, offering a perfect balance of semi-rural charm and sophisticated convenience.

Residents enjoy a curated selection of amenities, including a Tesco Express, Sainsbury’s Local, a pharmacy, and a post office, alongside independent boutiques and the popular Costa Coffee. The local culinary scene is equally impressive, with a variety of highly-regarded pubs and restaurants, such as The Royal Oak and The Foresters, offering welcoming spots for socialising. For the active family, the 540-acre Burnham Beeches National Nature Reserve provides world-class woodland trails for walking and cycling, while the nearby Farnham Common Sports Club offers excellent facilities for tennis, cricket, rugby, and squash.

Education is a cornerstone of the area’s appeal, with the property falling within the prestigious Buckinghamshire Grammar School catchment system.
