For Sale7 Bedroom Detached House in Deep Mill Lane, Little Kingshill, HP16£2,000,000

A highly individual and architecturally striking five-bedroom house with detached two-bedroom annexe and additional studio/office in a coveted Chilterns village. Nestled within a private and secluded plot on the edge of the delightful village of Little Kingshill, Klee House is a magnificent contemporary home with stunning views over the surrounding Chiltern Hills, yet with central London accessible in just 39 minutes from Great Missenden station. The house was built in 1959 to a design by the renowned architect Ian Preston, and later extended sympathetically and thoughtfully in 2004 by the award-winning John Pardey Architects. The extension was awarded the ‘Overall Winner’ in the 2004 Chilterns Buildings Design Awards, for its complementary style to the original building. In addition to the main house is a detached and entirely self-contained separate annexe, which adds a further two bedrooms and a generous living space to the substantial five-bedroom main house, providing an opportunity for short- or long-term lets, or as accommodation for an au pair, older children or grandparents living at home. The mid-century interior design of the house reflects the external elements, with exposed brick, expanses of glazing and clean lines typical of the era: it’s a fantastic blank canvas for personalisation. The grand proportions of this house are ideal for family life and equally well suited to entertaining, with generous reception spaces and sizeable bedrooms perfect for visiting guests. The layout is inverted to make the most of the surrounding views from the living spaces, with windows on the north, south and west aspects of the house. The first floor comprises a large, open plan living space, incorporating the kitchen, dining room and family room, the latter with an access door leading out to a flight of steps leading down the gardens. There is a further reception room perfect for formal entertaining and a double bedroom with en suite shower room which could equally make an excellent snug or study. The ground floor accommodation includes the principal bedroom and en suite bath/shower room, three further double bedrooms, two additional bath/shower rooms and a utility room for laundry machines. The multi-generational capabilities of the house are increased with the addition of the self-contained annexe, which is situated at a slightly lower level to the main house. The annexe is presented in the same light, open and airy style as the main residence, with wood floors and exposed brick detailing. The accommodation comprises a large open plan living area with kitchen, two double bedrooms and a shower room. Adjoining the annexe is an L-shaped gym, providing further potential for development if desired. Tucked away discreetly within the plot there is a further studio which offers a plethora of potential uses, for example an inviting home office space, an artist’s or yoga studio, or space for further hobbies. Outside Klee House is situated within beautifully landscaped gardens of about 1.33 acres, which are wonderfully varied and planted with a wide variety of herbs, shrubs and mature trees. The house is approached over a brick-paved driveway which sweeps through electronic gates and around the generous lawns to a sizeable parking area behind the house, and the garage which is attached to the annexe and gym. A path continues around the side of the annexe to the detached studio and, on the upper level, a spectacular outdoor swimming pool and terrace. Behind the annexe there is a substantial kitchen garden with a variety of beds, and, on the lowest level, a final area of lawn and an impressive lavender border.
