Detached house for sale in School Lane, Weston Turville HP22

On a quiet lane at the edge of the village, the property is discreetly screened from the road and offers a great deal of privacy. Originally built in the 17th century, it was extended in the 1990s by Boarder Oak, creating a 31 ft x 13 ft drawing room overlooking the triple aspect formal, landscaped gardens.
Upon entering the property via the beamed and vaulted reception hall, one is immediately struck by the sense of history; parquet flooring and the oak staircase to the galleried landing. To the left of the hall, the kitchen has Shaker-style units, a central island, a range of built-in appliances and space for a breakfast/dining area. A utility room and cloakroom are located beyond with a door to the exterior.
Ground floor reception rooms comprise the dining room with exposed beams to the ceiling; the sitting room with a magnificent inglenook fireplace incorporating a window seat and French doors to the gardens; the dual aspect reception/music room which also has exposed beams as well as wood-burning stove in the inglenook fireplace. Steps descend to the magnificent drawing room with French doors to the garden.
Rising to the first floor, there are five good sized bedrooms and the principal is dual aspect with an en suite bath and shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

Outside

On one side of the grounds and offering independent accommodation, The Bothy has a reception room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. With some updating or expansion (subject to the usual planning consents), this would make ideal guest accommodation. The ground and gardens are truly enchanting and arouse the curiosity with plenty to discover; a pleasing combination of formal, landscaped areas, lawns, paved paths and water features. There is an attractive pond in the shade of a magnificent weeping willow and a large greenhouse in need of some repair. Additionally, there is garage and off-road parking for one vehicle.
