5 bed detached house for sale

Beeches Drive, Farnham Common, Buckinghamshire SL2

A wonderful opportunity to purchase a large house on a stunning p[ot approaching 3/4 acre. Set adjascent to Burnham Beeches on a private gated road. End of chain.

A rather unique detached family home offering flexible accommodation over two floors with the added benefit of planning permission for a considerable extension. The property benefits from an annexe, whilst sitting on a plot that extends to approximately 3/4 of an acre with numerous outbuildings that include a large oak framed carport providing parking for three vehicles along with an attached shed, a wooden detached chalet (in need of significant updating) within the grounds with power and additional storage sheds around the garden. The house is quietly positioned at the end of Beeches Drive which is a sought-after gated private drive of large, detached homes offering a superb private setting with the house benefitting from a sylvan outlook from all aspects. The house offers exceptionally spacious accommodation, particularly downstairs and planning permission has been granted to extend the upstairs further, along with a large rear extension. The house has recently been reroofed to both wings and these have a 10-year transferable warranty. Originally built in 1976 by the family for their own occupation, this is the first time in that 50-year period that the house has been marketed, making this truly a one-off opportunity. Whilst the property could benefit from a certain amount of small tlc, the overall impression is of a large well cared for family home in an enviable location that must be seen to be appreciated. No onward chain.

Accommodation

Reception hall opening to dining area, piano room, family room, kitchen/breakfast/sitting room, large walk-in storage cupboard, utility room, downstairs cloakroom, downstairs bedroom and downstairs bathroom. Ground floor annexe comprising sitting room, kitchen, hallway, bedroom and shower room. Upstairs: Three bedrooms (two of which benefit from ensuite bathrooms). Triple oak carport, numerous storage sheds.

Gardens

A simply stunning feature of the property are the private gardens which are surrounded on all sides by mature trees and bushes. The property benefits from two distinct parking areas (one of which could be allocated separately to the annexe) and these provide parking for numerous vehicles. There is a pathway to the front of the property and to the side which has its own separate door into the annexe, whilst to the right-hand side there is further parking along with the carport. Access can be gained down either side of the property and a feature of the house is the large, raised timber deck that can be accessed from several doors within the house. This makes a quite fabulous entertaining area. There are further decked seating areas below this, whilst the remainder of the rear gardens have been laid to an expanse of lawn with an array of both deciduous and fir trees, along with established rhododendrons and bushes.

Location

The property is located a short walk of Burnham Beeches, whilst being with easy striking distance of Farnham Common village centre, which offers a range of shops, bars and eateries.

Agent's Note

The annexe could be completely self-contained as it has its own doorway, heating system and kitchen, making this house perfect for multi-generational living, whilst further extension will make a truly magnificent home on a gated private road.

* Planning permission exists for a large extension under reference number pl/23/2251/fa
