Description
Ballinger Hill House is a handsome Georgian country home dating in part back to the early 1800’s with attractive elevations and generous room proportions providing elegant and spacious family accommodation, with an adaptable arrangement throughout. The property is nestled within glorious Chilterns countryside and set within mature, landscaped gardens with further parkland grounds in excess of 4.6 acres. The property enjoys a wonderfully tranquil setting with uninterrupted rural views.

The accommodation is highly adaptable with a layout arranged over two well planned floors alongside further outbuildings benefitting from previous planning permission to convert into ancillary accommodation under planning ref: CH/2000/1277/fa. There is also a separate double garage and two steel framed workshops.

The living accommodation comprises three principal reception rooms accessed via the welcoming reception hall lined in part with traditional bookcases and staircase rising to the first floor. The formal dining room opens to the gardens and gives access to the boot room. The drawing room features a stunning Adam fireplace. Positioned to the front of the property is a sitting room/snug again with an open fireplace. Located next to the dining room is a good size boot room/utility room giving access to the kitchen. The kitchen itself is fitted with base and eye level units and has space and plumbing for appliances.

The first floor accommodation enjoys equally impressive proportions with five generous bedrooms served by two bathrooms and a further night cloakroom.

Extending to in excess of 4.6 acres, the gardens, grounds and glorious Chilterns setting are quite breath taking. A real feature of the property are the formal gardens themselves, having been landscaped to allow for private, exceptional seasonal enjoyment.

Adjacent farmland wraps around the plot and provides impressive rural views. The house is accessed over a long, rustic tree lined driveway which opens up into an impressive open parking area with turning space which in turn leads to a garage block (previously stables) providing substantial parking.

Beyond the garaging there is access to the two steel framed workshops and a further separate paddock measuring approx. One acre and making up part of the overall plot.
