Description
An impressive five bedroom period house arranged over three floors, occupying a generous elevated plot of about 0.5 acres., with open views across surrounding countryside. The property has undergone extensive renovation in recent years, retaining many of the original features, resulting in a stylish family home that combines the proportions of its period origins with the comforts and standards expected of modern living.

A generous entrance hall provides a welcoming introduction leading through to a series of well proportioned reception rooms. To the front, a family sitting room enjoys excellent natural light and impressive views of Ivinghoe Beacon and the Ashridge Estate, while to the rear the formal dining room opens via double doors onto the garden, perfect for summer entertaining. The shaker style kitchen is positioned to the rear of the house with useful utility room, providing practical service accommodation for everyday living.
