Whiteleaf, Princes Risborough, HP27

The architect who designed this property in the 1950s lived in it for a number of years and over more recent years it has been updated and brought in line with 21st century living, creating a wonderful split level, four-bedroom family home retaining some of the original Modernist features.
The sitting room is on the lower level whilst the other reception room (the family room) opens off the dining hall. Large glazed doors in the family room, dining hall and sitting room make sure that there is plenty of natural light and offer views of the gardens. The family room is triple aspect and makes a welcoming sanctuary all year round as it features a wood-burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room is ideal for every day dining whilst there is a dining hall for more formal occasions. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
The open-tread staircase allows plenty of light and rises to the first floor via a half-landing which offers fabulous views and opens to one of the bedrooms. Steps rise to the remaining three and the triple aspect principal bedroom measures 20' by 11'5", spanning the depth of the house and offering fabulous views across the gardens. It has a dressing area to one end and also an en suite shower room. The three remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom and one of these bedrooms is currently used as a study.
