Braziers well


The main part of the property was originally built in the mid 1960s, incorporating part of the original period brick barn. The wonderfully versatile accommodation is particularly well presented, benefiting from full oil fired central heating and double glazing.

The Entrance Porch opens into a generous reception hall, which is partly galleried and has a wealth of exposed natural wood. The double aspect Sitting Room is particularly bright and airy with three picture windows overlooking the garden. An open fireplace provides a central focal point. The large Dining Room will accommodate a good size dining table and has folding doors opening into the Conservatory, which enjoys a delightful outlook over the garden. Folding doors lead into the Family Room, which is partly vaulted with exposed beams and trusses. Wood burning stove. The ground floor Guest Suite is again partly vaulted with exposed beams and trusses, together with an en suite shower room. The Kitchen/Breakfast room like the Family Room and Guest Suite, is situated in the original barn and again has a partly vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and trusses. Fitted in oak with a comprehensive range of base units and wall cupboards, together with a peninsular unit.

The first floor has wooden floors throughout and has a light and airy landing. The Main Bedroom, like Bedroom Two, has wonderful views across the garden and country side beyond, together with an en suite shower room. All the first floor Bedrooms have built in double wardrobe cupboards.

Attached to the ground floor accommodation is the remaining section of the original hay barn, which is ideal for conversion into further accommodation if required (subject to the necessary planning regulations).
The gardens are delightful, being set behind a high brick wall and laid mainly to lawn with flower and rose beds, specimen trees and two areas of terrace. A sweeping gravel driveway leads round to a forecourt and Double Garage.

Beyond the boundary of the garden lies the enclosed pasture, which dips down the valley and up to Cholesbury. There are also two paddocks laid to orchard. There is a three bay open Barn 40" x 26" (12.19m x 7.95m) with light and power. A further Barn in two sections 50" x 25" (15.24m x 7.62m) and 20" x 15" (6.10m x 7.62m), has a partly concreted floor, mains power and water, together with a soakaway. To the front there is an enclosed concreted pen.
