About this property

A Grade ll Listed historic 17th Century house with tasteful modern extensions and a charming position.

The house offers the best of period charm and character coupled with well planned and executed modern enhancements. This historic house started life as a 17th Century stone house, possibly thatched and with no doubt built to take full advantage of its escarpment position and outstanding views. Over the years the house has seen substantial extensions and more recently a well-planned modernisation. This has created a large and diverse property with modern conveniences whilst maintaining its many unique features and charm.
The house enjoys complete privacy and is in a semi-rural position, yet remains close to the popular community of Harefield.
The true heart of the house is the large, light and bright kitchen/dining/living room. The recently re-built orangery and modern hand built wooden kitchen, complete with oil fired AGA make this a social and welcoming room. Double door leads to the south facing garden and terraces and onto the formal gardens.
The two original reception rooms display a plethora of period features with stone mullion windows, open fires and rich wooden floorboards. The modern extension, now used as the main sitting room, was designed to complement the original house with a central stone fireplace and double doors onto the front garden. This is a large room that would be great for entertaining.
The bedrooms all offer views over the private grounds with the principal bedroom enjoying stunning, far reaching country views. There are three modern bathrooms and a separate WC and dressing room.
