A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial detached residence set within approximately two acres, offering immense scope for modernisation, extension and reconfiguration (subject to the usual planning permissions). Properties of this size and potential are seldom available, making this a true one-off for buyers seeking space, privacy and long-term opportunity.
The ground floor provides extensive and versatile accommodation with four generous reception rooms. The principal living room is a superb space, centred around a fireplace and enjoying sliding doors that open directly onto the patio and gardens beyond. A large double-aspect dining room sits adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room, offering excellent potential to create a stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/family space if desired. Further reception space includes a family room and a separate study, ideal for home working. A spacious utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor layout.
To the first floor, the property continues to impress with five well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from a double aspect with delightful views over the rear gardens, along with a generous ensuite. A guest bedroom also enjoys ensuite facilities and features a balcony overlooking the swimming pool and grounds. Three additional double bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.
Externally, the property truly comes into its own. The formal gardens are well screened by mature hedging and fencing, creating a private and secluded setting, and include a swimming pool (currently requiring refurbishment). Beyond this lies an expansive paddock area, bringing the total plot to approximately two acres. The grounds also include a variety of outbuildings such as kennels, sheds and storage units, offering further flexibility for a range of uses.
Prestwood is a highly regarded Buckinghamshire village, particularly popular with families due to its excellent schooling. The area benefits from sought-after primary schools and is within catchment for well-regarded secondary education. In addition, the nearby town of Amersham offers access to highly प्रतिष्ठed grammar schools, including Dr Challoner's Grammar School and Dr Challoner's High School, both of which are consistently rated among the top schools in the county.
For commuters, the property is conveniently located within a short drive of Great Missenden Railway Station, which provides a direct Chiltern Railways service into London Marylebone, making it an ideal location for those needing access to central London while enjoying a semi-rural lifestyle.
Agents Note: The property is currently run on Calor Gas; however, we understand that mains gas may be available in the road. Any prospective purchaser should make their own enquiries to verify this.
