High Point is a stunning, contemporary home on The Ridgeway, an ancient trackway, set high on the Chiltern escarpment with unrivalled panoramic views in approximately 2.17 acres. High Point is a contemporary residence meticulously crafted to the highest standards, harmoniously blending with its woodland surroundings to offer unparalleled panoramic views. The architectural design employs black elm timber to provide a sense of solidity, contrasting beautifully with expansive glass elements that frame the natural landscape. Traditional craftsmanship is evident in details such as hand-struck steel nails used in the exquisite elm cladding, paying homage to the surrounding woodland setting. The layout of the accommodation is shown in the enclosed floorplans. On the lower ground, the building incorporates a spectacular living room with dual side bi-folding doors that open onto the lower hot tub terrace, to beautifully combine the inside/outside potential for perfect entertaining. There is also a large bedroom with en suite, media room and second kitchen. On the ground floor, the main living area is completely open plan and incorporates a large sitting area with open fireplace and a feature stone shelf and wall, a classic Bulthaup kitchen with Gaggenau appliances and a dining area with wide access to the top terrace. Beyond the dining area is a study with its abstract bookcase and access to the side terrace. The crowning element of this part of the building is the vast roof terrace, open only to the view. There is also a bedroom suite on this floor. The principal bedroom suite and two further bedrooms, each with an en suite, are on the first floor, all with far reaching views over the vale below. All lighting in the house is controlled by a Lutron system with Deltalight fittings. The house also benefits from high-speed broadband, a water softener and the first floor bedrooms have air conditioning, with the whole house serviced by an MVHR system Further information on the high specification of the house can be obtained from the vendors’ agents. GARDENS AND GROUNDS Inspired by Japanese garden principles, the garden seamlessly integrates with the landscape, embracing the concept of shakkei or “borrowed scenery.” This technique incorporates elements from the surrounding environment—such as distant trees, hills, or structures—into the garden’s design, creating a harmonious blend between the man-made and natural worlds. The upper terrace features sawn York stone paving, leading down a similarly adorned staircase to the hot tub area, which is complemented by aromatic lavender plantings. This thoughtful design invites relaxation and reflection, and the opportunity to be immersed in the tranquil beauty of the natural surroundings. The annexe, above the garage has its own kitchen and en suite bathroom, and a magnificent viewing deck. This level can be used either as a separate apartment or home office. The garage area below has a separate workshop and washroom facility for outside staff. The property benefits from a natural water supply from a bore hole.
