Description

Silver Birches is a handsome Arts & Crafts country home providing elegant and exceptionally well proportioned accommodation arranged over two well planned floors.
The property has been maintained to a meticulous standard and provides a wonderful mix of contemporary family living tempered with an abundance of internal and external character features.

The property is positioned well within glorious gardens and grounds in excess of 2.25 acres and is situated on one of South Buckinghamshire’s most sought after residential roads.
The clever L’shaped design of the house allows for dual aspect receptions rooms throughout the ground floor whilst the bedroom suites all benefit from wonderful views view over glorious mature gardens.

Upon entering the house over the central positioned grand reception hall with its open galleried landing above you are immediately met with a sense of the scale provided by the property. Formal receptions are located within one wing and comprise a large formal living room with feature fireplace, a formal dining room and a former games/family room currently used as a wonderful study/home office and featuring an extensive range of built-in furniture. Each reception features double doors leading out to the rear garden.

Located across from the reception hall is a generous kitchen/breakfast room which in turn leads through to a most impressive double height family room with beautiful Minstrel’s gallery. A further TV/play room is also accessed from the kitchen along with a good size utility room.

The first floor accommodation is also well proportioned with the galleried landing giving access to six double bedrooms served by three well-appointed bath/shower rooms. The principal bedroom is of particular note and features a fully fitted walk-in wardrobe alongside a luxury en-suite bath and shower room.

The house is set back within its glorious 2 acre plot and enjoys a pleasant South Westerly aspect. The gardens have a sweeping parkland design with extensive areas of manicured lawn interspersed by mature trees leading through to a mature sylvan back drop. A large raised terrace bordered by well stocked beds wraps around the rear of the house to provide seating and dining areas from which to enjoy the idyllic setting.
Steps down from the terrace lead to a further paved area and outdoor swimming pool with pool house incorporating a shower room, pump house and bar area making it an ideal summer entertaining space. The pool area is secured with attractive wrought iron fencing. Within the rear garden itself and set behind mature privacy hedging is a hard surface tennis court.
