Description
Enjoying an elevated position on the edge of Penn village, and ideally located between the larger towns of Beaconsfield and High Wycombe, this individually designed home offers contemporary styled accommodation across two floors. The property benefits from expansive, large windows flooding the house with natural light. Elephant Walk House is well placed for commuting, with High Wycombe station, less than three miles away, providing a fast train line to London Marylebone.
On the ground floor, a wide glazed entrance porch opens into the spacious reception hall, which includes a guest cloakroom and an open-tread staircase rising to the first floor. Adjacent to the hall is a versatile study that may also serve as an additional bedroom. The open-plan living space is both generous and adaptable, perfectly suited to family life. The layout flows from the reception hall to a relaxed sitting room down to the open-plan kitchen/dining/family room. Expansive pavilion-style sliding doors open the entire space on to the large rear garden, creating an easy flow between inside and out. The kitchen is well appointed with an extensive range of fitted units, complemented by Corian worktops and a selection of integrated appliances. Beyond here is a fully fitted utility room with outside door access to the side. Throughout the ground floor there is underfloor heating.
On the first floor the principal bedroom enjoys elevated views over the garden and beyond. There are built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. A guest bedroom to the front benefits from air conditioning and door access on to a wide balcony. This room and the remaining two bedrooms are served by a family shower room.
To the front of the property, a gated carriage driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to the garage. The rear garden backs on to woodland and the Gomm Valley with a private gate at the rear giving access. The garden is landscaped to provide a balance of lawn, mature planting, and seating areas. A raised terrace adjoins the rear of the house, offering an ideal spot for summer entertaining and al fresco dining. A further decked area in the far corner gives an additional seating spot alongside a glazed summer house offering a versatile space. The garden is attractively screened by established trees and shrubs, providing a good deal of privacy.
