A beautifully presented family home surrounded by open countryside with land and equestrian facilities.
Description
Originally built in about 1970, this unique family home occupies a lovely semi-rural, yet accessible setting in the heart of the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Set within grounds of about 2.65 acres, The Hermitage is a beautifully presented and well-appointed country home and is particularly well suited to equestrian enthusiasts with excellent facilities including stabling, paddocks, outdoor ménage and access on to the bridleway network.
On the ground floor the accommodation flows well, with the front door opening into a spacious reception hall with a guest cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. Oak flooring extends to many of the rooms on this floor. The well-proportioned drawing room enjoys a dual aspect, with a decorative fireplace and open fire creating a relaxed and inviting setting. The dining room is ideally suited for family gatherings or more formal entertaining. The superb family kitchen/breakfast room is a brilliant communal space at the heart of the home. Beautifully appointed, the kitchen features an excellent range of bespoke hand crafted units, complemented by granite worktops and integrated appliances. There is ample room for a table or sofa with French doors opening the space on to the garden. Beyond the kitchen, a boot room leads to a fully fitted utility room with direct access to the garden. From the boot room, stairs rise to a superb loft office, flooded with natural light and enjoying elevated views over the garden and surrounding countryside. The space is further enhanced by bespoke built-in cabinetry.
A handsome staircase splits at the half landing, leading to the bedroom accommodation on the first floor. The principal bedroom features French doors opening onto a balcony, complemented by a fully fitted dressing room and en suite bathroom. There are five further double bedrooms, three with built-in wardrobes, served by both a family bathroom and separate shower room.
Accessed from the rear garden, a potential annexe comprises a fully fitted kitchen, shower room, utility room, sitting room, and bedroom. Ideal for visiting family or an au pair, it could equally be incorporated into the main residence, providing flexible accommodation to suit a variety of needs.
The property is approached through gates on to a carriage driveway providing ample parking and leading to the double garage. High hedging and mature trees on the boundaries allow for a good deal of privacy.
To the rear, the garden is predominately laid to lawn with walling and mature trees/hedging on the boundaries. Terrace areas provide ideal outside entertaining space. A substantial brick outbuilding, incorporating separate storage rooms, sits at the rear of the garden and offers an excellent versatility of use.
Beyond the garden lie the excellent and well maintained equestrian facilities, comprising stable yard, three Monarch box stables, haybarn, tack & feed room, 25m x 45m ménage with a sand & fibre surface and an all weather turnout pen. The land, complete with a field shelter, is divided into post and rail grazing paddocks with auto feeders. In addition there is vehicular access from the road.
