For Sale5 Bedroom Detached House in Oak Lane, Tring, HP23£3,950,000

A stunning, recently built six-bedroom house with eco credentials, situated in four acres of beautifully landscaped gardens Woodlands is a highly individual home completed in 2021 that’s unique in this area. Surrounded by the beautiful Chilterns, landscaped and moments from the charming village of St Leonards, it is a modern construction that’s at once fabulously different to the houses in the surrounding area, yet blends beautifully and unobtrusively within its secluded gardens. The house has been constructed as sustainably as possible, utilising eco building techniques such as a meadow roof combined with green energy choices like solar panels and a ground source heat pump. The grounds have been an equally conscious choice, with some of the four acres allowed to ‘rewild’, mature woodland all around the boundary and – perhaps the highlight – a natural swimming pool cleaned by oxygenating plants and microorganisms in a gravel bed. This is a truly exceptional residence which must be seen to be appreciated to the full. No expense has been spared in creating this stylish and sustainable home, and it features a variety of premium additions. The accommodation is extremely spacious, with almost 4000 sq ft of space available over three floors; the bedrooms and reception rooms are generously proportioned, and there are high ceilings, clean lines and large windows which emphasise the excellent natural light. The living space at the back of the house is the heart of the family home and the most impressive room of all, featuring vast floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the gardens on three sides, bringing the outside closer. In the summer months the sliding doors can be thrown open to the terrace, creating a great indoor-outdoor space that’s perfect for entertaining. The ground floor is entered onto a fabulous reception hall, with stairs leading up to the bedrooms and down to the basement level. The ground floor has a versatile layout with two rooms on the south side of the house which offer a variety of uses such as a snug, study or additional bedrooms. There is also a shower room. To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room and main living area are open plan, though the adjoining laundry room is separate and has its own access from the garden. The versatile lower ground floor currently comprises two bedrooms, a plant room and a sauna with shower and WC, but the bedrooms, one of which boasts acoustic panels, could equally be utilised as a cinema room, gym or music room. On the first floor, the principal bedroom has a dressing room, stylish en suite bath/shower room and a private balcony. There is a further en suite bedroom and two additional bedrooms sharing a family bathroom. Within the gardens there is a detached one-bedroom annexe which is entirely self-contained and well suited as holiday accommodation. Outside The gardens envelop the property in a 360-degree design which allows access all the way around the house. The plot is enclosed by mixed, well-established woodland, through which there are paths that provide shady spaces to walk and enjoy the variety of the plot. Most of the garden is landscaped, with flowerbeds, borders and a huge number of shrubs and meadow flowers providing a riot of colour in the spring and summer. The garden encompasses a terrace, natural swimming pool with sunbathing platforms and a fire pit. The house is approached via a sweeping driveway leading to a large parking area, with an attached garage and an electric car charging station. Situation The leafy small village of St Leonards is situated within an Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty, perfectly placed to take advantage of an extensive network of public footpaths and bridleways. The nearby market towns of Berkhamsted (5.8 miles), Wendover (4 miles), Tring (4.9 miles) and Chesham (3.8 miles) cater for day-today shopping needs and offer a variety of restaurants.
