Mill Lane, Chalfont St. Giles, Buckinghamshire, HP8

An imposing, contemporary family home providing over 4,500 sqft of living space, set on a secluded 1/3 plot on the edge of highly regarded Chalfont St Giles village.


Description

A handsome, contemporary family home built to exacting standards in 2011 with a fine attention to detail and quality of finish throughout.

The property has been thoughtfully designed around the principles of light and space with generous room proportions and an adaptable overall footprint providing in excess of 4,500sqft arranged over three planned floors.

The property is set within extensively landscaped gardens of 1/3 acre and is ideally positioned on the edge of this sought after Chilterns village.

The property offers a wonderful first impression featuring a large, open reception hall with oak staircase rising to a part galleried first floor landing.

There are four formal receptions accessed from the hallway, comprising a dual aspect home office with fitted bespoke furniture, a handsome dual aspect formal living room with wood burning stove and double doors opening out onto the gardens.

Adjacent to the living room is a further family room with bi-fold doors again opening out onto gardens. A further bay fronted reception, currently used as a dining room, completes the accommodation.

Spanning the remainder of the ground floor is a most impressive kitchen/dining room/breakfast room. This exceptional family space is the heart of the house having been beautifully designed with a clever part-vaulted rear addition featuring triple full height glass roof lights and a further set of bi-folding doors. Double internal doors open into the family room creating a lovely, informal open plan space if required.

Accessed from the kitchen is a good size utility room which in turn leads through to the attached double garage.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive with a total of six bedrooms arranged over the top two floors.

A wide, galleried landing with picture window gives access to four double bedrooms, all with well-appointed en suite bath/shower rooms. The principal bedroom is of particular note, benefitting from a luxury en suite bath & shower room with further walk in wardrobe.

A second staircase leads from the first floor up to two additional bedrooms and a bath & shower room along with a large storage area.

Matfen is set well back on a private, landscaped plot of approximately 1/3 acre. Accessed through electronically operated entrance gates, a substantial block paved driveway provides substantial parking and gives access to the garage.

Enjoying a pretty sylvan backdrop, the rear garden has been extensively landscaped with a secluded, sunken walled patio spanning the full width of the house and providing an ideal outside entertaining space.

A series of steps lead up past well stocked beds to an area of lawn, again wrapping around the rear and side of the house. The gardens are screened and secured with mature hedging and fencing.
