About this property

An imposing country house estate, with indoor swimming pool leisure complex & triple garaging, all set in almost 5 acres of private grounds. Superb commuting access to London & Heathrow from Gerrards Cross rail station (London Marylebone 18 minutes) and nearby M40/M25.

A most impressive family home built in the 1930s which has a striking Art Deco design with an Italianate style. The property is vast, offering almost 5000 sq. ft. of space, and set within 4.81 acres of stunning landscaped grounds which feature many varieties of trees and shrubs, making it feel exceptionally secluded and private. The detached home is bright and elegant, with beautifully appointed interiors featuring all the desired modern conveniences. The layout is as such that the property is equally suited to families as it is to executives seeking a large residence within commuting distance of London. The property has undergone a full cosmetic upgrade in recent years, and it is ready for immediate occupation and personalisation by the new owner.

The ground floor is perfectly suited to entertaining, featuring an inviting entrance hall leading to an open plan kitchen and breakfast room, a sitting room, formal reception room and to the leisure wing, which features an indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, steam room and changing and shower facilities. Upstairs there are four good-size bedrooms, including a principal suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom, a bedroom with en suite WC and two bedrooms with Jack and Jill access to the family bathroom. There is an additional dressing room which could be used as a fifth bedroom if desired. The house has excellent storage, including a pantry, utility room, cloaks cupboard and a separate storage space on the lower ground floor.

Outside
The house is situated within beautiful, mature gardens, with woodland all around the boundary providing a high degree of privacy. The property is approached via Dukes Kiln Drive, one of the area’s most prestigious private roads, with imposing wrought iron gates with intercom access swinging open to a block-paved driveway which sweeps through trees and ornamental flowerbeds to a large parking area in front of the house. One wing of the property is given over to a triple-bay garage (there is great potential to extend the house out over the garage, subject to obtaining the necessary consents). The rear garden is mostly lawned and features a patio, a raised terrace, a variety of specimen trees (including one with a treehouse) and a covered seating area that’s perfect for intimate dinners. There is also an expansive paved terrace to the rear of the swimming pool.

Situation
Gerrards Cross town offers a range of shopping facilities, including Waitrose and Tesco, a host of independent stores, restaurants, public houses, an Everyman cinema, East & West Common and a community library. Ideal for the commuter, the setting is well connected to motorways with Junction 1 of the M40 at Denham or Junction 2 of the M40 at Beaconsfield, linking to the M25, M1, M4 and Heathrow/Gatwick airports. Gerrards Cross station has a fast Chiltern Rail link to London Marylebone in approximately 18 minutes. Buckinghamshire is renowned for its excellent range of schooling both state and independent, including Chalfont St. Peter infants and St. Clement Danes School (both rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted), St Mary’s, Thorpe House, Gayhurst and Maltman’s Green.
