A beautifully appointed family home situated in a desirable and convenient location within about a mile of Gerrards Cross station.

Description
A beautifully appointed family home, ideally located on a tree lined residential road just about a mile from Gerrards Cross station. The property presents superbly and offers excellent versatile space for growing families. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and has been remodelled to allow for plenty of natural light and an open-plan feel throughout.

On the ground floor an oak framed porch opens into a generous, vaulted reception hall with a galleried landing above. The hall, with a guest cloakroom and built-in storage, adjoins most of the main rooms in the house. The dual aspect open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room is an excellent sociable space for the whole family, with bi-fold doors opening the entire room to the outside terrace. The kitchen is well equipped with an excellent range of units, complemented by granite worktops and integrated appliances. A large central island with further storage and breakfast bar seating is ideal for informal dining. Both the dining and sitting rooms frame lovely garden views, with the sitting room benefiting from a bar area and wide French doors opening on to the terrace area, perfect for entertaining in the summer months. A further reception room to the front is currently arranged as a study but would be ideal as a TV or playroom. In addition is a fully fitted utility room with door access into the large double garage.

An attractive staircase with a glass balustrade leads to the galleried landing, featuring a picture window flooding the space with natural light. On the first floor are five double bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. The principal bedroom offers a quiet retreat, overlooking the garden with a fully fitted dressing room and well appointed en suite wet room. A guest bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower room while a family bathroom serves the remaining three bedrooms.

Set back from the road behind hedging, the carriage driveway provides ample parking and leads to the large double garage. The beautifully landscaped garden to the rear enjoys a southerly aspect and is well screened with mature trees and shrubs giving privacy. The garden is predominately laid to lawn with well stocked borders and beds providing all year colour and interest. A generous terrace adjoins the rear of the house providing the perfect space for outside dining. Nestling in the corner is a pergola, giving a shady refuge and an excellent spot for entertaining. The garden is exceptionally well designed and provides a wonderful outlook and backdrop to the property.
