Chinnor Road, Bledlow Ridge, HP14

This property represents a splendid home set within mature landscaped gardens and grounds of just under sixteen acres. The original parts of the house were built about 400 years ago and it was subsequently extended at the beginning of the last century and in the 1990s. The approach to the house is via a timber five-bar gate and a sweeping driveway to the front door. A spacious entrance hall with flagstone flooring opens onto the main reception rooms, notably the drawing room, dining room and library. The dual aspect drawing room has moulded cornicing, a working fireplace with an ornate timber mantel and a marble hearth. The bay window seat is the perfect spot from which to admire the garden. Similarly, the library has a delightful bay window overlooking the garden as well as a working fireplace and bespoke bookcases.
The dining room which adjoins the library and kitchen as well as the entrance hall, has oak flooring, a hatch to the cellar and overlooks the garden and fields beyond. A door opens to the conservatory making these two rooms a wonderful entertaining space, winter and summer alike. The kitchen is an attractive room with plenty of natural light and a separate seating/breakfast area. Fixtures include an Aga and it adjoins the utility room which has a door to the exterior where there is courtyard, suitable for al fresco dining, and a pergola. A study and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation. Rising to the first floor of the original part of the house, there are five bedrooms, a family bathroom and a night cloakroom. The dual aspect principal bedroom is wonderfully light thanks to its large bay windows, offering magnificent views. It measures 29'5" x 20'4" and has a range of fitted wardrobes within the dressing area as well as an en suite bathroom. The house accommodates an impressive swimming pool complex with changing rooms, sauna and a mezzanine gym. The connecting corridor also provides access to a large triple bay garage with two double bedrooms and guest suite with a shower room above.
