Description
As featured in Country Life, a substantial executive family home with high-specification, COOLING to all rooms, energy efficient design, set within lovely gardens in the sought-after village of Chalfont St Giles.
As featured in Country Life, an impressive executive home, built in a Georgian revival style to an exacting specification by the vendor in 2020. The substantial home offers more than 7300 sq ft of space over three floors, offering a wealth of space for entertaining friends at home, spending time relaxing, or large family celebrations. The property has been built with energy efficiency in mind, and as such offers 10.5 Kw solar panels, solar heated hot water and a ground source heat pump. The property is eligible for a government-backed renewable heating executive, with an approximate payment of £5,000 per annum for the next four years. The internal specification is also designed to a high standard, featuring Miele appliances in both kitchens, bespoke cabinetry by Red Kite Kitchens of Beaconsfield, timber sash windows and doors with argon-filled glass, adjustable ‘Lutron Lighting’ inside and within the front and rear gardens, a Sonos sound system and Cat 6 cabling. The build is also of the highest quality, featuring solid masonry construction and concrete Hollowcore floors, copper piping and aluminium guttering. This is a modern home designed for longevity and with future owners in mind.
At the heart of the home, a welcoming reception hall provides a space to gather and leads to the man reception areas: a striking L-shaped drawing room, a formal dining room, open plan kitchen/family room, a home office and a playroom. There is also a second caterers’ kitchen/utility room, a plant room and a cloakroom with w.c. The bedrooms are arranged over the first and second floors, including a principal bedroom with en suite couples’ bathroom and dressing room. The remaining first-floor bedrooms all have en suite facilities, and there is also a laundry room. On the second floor there is a further bedroom and bathroom, a storage room and an impressive media room with kitchenette and wiring for a projector in two aspects.
Outside
The house is situated on a generous plot of about 0.6 acres on the leafy northern edge of Chalfont St Giles. A striking first impression is provided by the handsome carriageway driveway, which leads up to the attractive neo-Georgian elevations, which includes a striking pillared entrance. The gated tarmac driveway provides ample private parking and also gives access to the attached single garage. The outside space continues to the rear, where there is an expansive lawn enclosed by wooden panel fencing backed by a high privacy hedge, affording a feeling of seclusion. A sizeable paved terrace adjoins the back of the house – the perfect space for entertaining – while raised beds along the patio and one side of the garden are stocked with a variety of shrubs.
