Located on a private lane in a discreet position and concealed from the road, Higher Croft is an impressive five-bedroom period property commanding spectacular views across the National Trust village of Bradenham. Originally built in the 1930s, this is a truly special house in a wonderfully discreet location on the edge of lovely AONB village. It offers magnificent and far-reaching views across rolling Chiltern countryside; an idyllic family house with ample space for entertaining. It was extended in the 1960s, creating a wing for the new drawing and dining rooms with large bedrooms above. The approach to the house is via electrically-operated double gates and a sweeping, brick paviour driveway to the front door. The entrance hall opens to the main reception rooms, notably the drawing room, dining room, family room and study. The triple aspect drawing room has a working fireplace with an attractive Bath stone mantel and the study and family room both have bespoke fitted furniture. Heading to the original wing, the breakfast room opens onto the Mark Wilkinson kitchen with an electric Aga and integrated Miele appliances. Both the kitchen and utility room have granite work surfaces with key rooms benefiting from built-in surround sound. Many of the rooms have solid oak flooring and the kitchen, breakfast room, utility and all bath/shower rooms have underfloor heating. Rising to the first floor, there are five bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room. The principal bedroom is wonderfully light thanks to its triple aspect, offering magnificent views. It has a range of Hulsta fitted wardrobes as well as an en suite shower room. The second floor provides ample eaves storage. Separate to the house itself, there is good sized outbuilding comprising a large games room, gym, cloakroom and double garage with a charger point.
