A classically designed house within a mews style exclusive gated development set in over six acres of parkland.
Description
This most attractive property occupies a lovely position in this unique, small mews style exclusive gated development set in six acres of parkland. The development is approached through electric gates onto a landscaped courtyard with a central water feature and fountain. The property benefits from a pretty garden bordering the communal gardens providing a lovely backdrop to this home. On the opposite side of the road is access to the National Trust property, Cliveden House, with its 375 acres of woodlands and gardens leading down to the River Thames.
A fine entrance portico leads into the reception hall with stairs to the first floor, storage and a guest cloakroom. The L shaped sitting/dining room enjoys a dual aspect with an elegant stone fireplace in the sitting room and ample room in the dining area for a large table. The adjacent conservatory, accessed from the sitting room overlooks the garden with French doors on to the outside terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room, with views over the communal gardens is well equipped with an excellent range of storage units, complemented by wood worktops and integrated appliances including an Everhot range.
On the first floor all the bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom is of a good size benefiting from a wonderfully spacious and luxurious en suite bathroom, with a bath and separate shower cubicle. The remaining two bedrooms are served by a well-appointed bathroom.
The property is accessed from a circular drive, leading to a private driveway with parking for two cars and a garage, incorporating a utility area. The rear garden has been attractively landscaped with an area of lawn, gravelled pathways and two terrace areas for outside dining and entertaining. A gate from the garden leads into the unspoilt communal gardens of over six acres, with magnificent trees from when the original historic Orkney House occupied this site. A hard tennis court with pavilion is bounded by fields at the rear of surrounding gardens.
