5 bed bungalow for sale

Templewood Lane, Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire SL2

Glencoe is a superb detached bungalow situated on a gated, South-West facing plot measuring half an acre in total, with a double detached garage and ample scope for further extension (stpp).

Beautifully refurbished by the current owners, Glencoe offers exceptional accommodation set within approximately 0.5 acres of generous, gated landscaped grounds. Tucked away at the end of a private cul-de-sac, the property enjoys a serene and secluded backdrop, with the protected woodland of Ingram’s Copse located directly behind.

The interior has been thoughtfully planned around the requirements of 21st-century family living, with all rooms branching from a central entrance hall. The true heart of the home is the dual-aspect kitchen and dining room, which features integrated appliances and elegant fitted cabinetry. From here, steps lead down into an impressive sitting room characterised by 3m ceiling heights, bespoke fitted furniture, and large sliding doors that open onto the gardens. For those who enjoy hosting, a separate games room and bar provides a dedicated entertaining space, complete with French doors leading out to the patio terrace.

The property features five generous bedrooms, headlined by a principal suite that serves as a spacious retreat with a private en-suite shower room and an array of bespoke wardrobes. The three further bedrooms are serviced by a well-appointed family bathroom with a separate shower. Notably, every bedroom in the home benefits from its own range of bespoke fitted furniture, ensuring a refined finish and seamless storage throughout. What was previously the fifth bedroom has been transformed into a sophisticated bespoke study. This versatile room features custom furniture designed to comfortably accommodate two people working from home; however, as it still houses a bed, it remains a highly functional fifth bedroom.

Gardens and Grounds

The exterior of this property is as secure as it is stunning, beginning with a gated entrance and a sweeping driveway that provides ample parking for several vehicles and access to a detached double garage. For added peace of mind, the entire estate is protected by a comprehensive CCTV system.

To the rear, the beautifully landscaped grounds offer a perfect blend of manicured lawn and woodland views, creating a private oasis screened by mature trees and shrubs. A large sun terrace leads directly from the house, providing an ideal setting for summer entertaining. A standout feature of the garden is the heated above-ground swimming pool; powered by an efficient air-source heat pump.
