Welcome to Dil Kushi, Little Kingshill, a haven of tranquillity nestled in the Chiltern Hills. Aptly named 'Happiness of the Heart' in translation, this exquisite residence, fashioned in the revered 'Arts and Crafts' style, was meticulously crafted in 1923 and sympathetically extended in the 1980s to create a substantial family home. Boasting timeless elegance and modern convenience, Dil Kushi presents a rare opportunity to indulge in refined living in delightful surroundings.

As you approach along the driveway you are led, past mature formal gardens, to the charming exterior and welcoming entrance of this distinguished home.
Stepping through the threshold, a sense of warmth envelops you, emanating from the inviting entrance hall, setting the tone for the rest of the home. The original features, including oak parquet flooring, fireplaces and beamed ceilings, lend an air of character and sophistication to the drawing room and dining room. The original bow window offers a picturesque view of the front garden.

The fitted kitchen, with modern amenities and limestone flooring, also includes an original spacious pantry. The kitchen takes you to the utility room and a door to the back garden, and, at the other end, into the breakfast room. Also on the ground floor, a cozy family room/snug, complete with a wood-burning stove, provides a tranquil retreat with French windows accessing the verdant rear gardens. For those embracing the evolving dynamics of modern life, an office, doubling as a bedroom with an ensuite shower room, offers flexibility and convenience.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a 'Jack and Jill' shower room, while two further bathrooms cater to all the needs of the household. Up the other staircase, are two further bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower, accompanied by a generous landing currently doubling as a small gym area. This side of the home could be used as a separate annexe or even an au-pair’s suite.

Beyond the interior, the enchantment continues. Landscaped gardens, shrubbery, and a hidden wooded path with seasonal displays of snowdrops, crocuses and bluebells, beckon exploration. A sun patio provides an ideal area for secluded gatherings and entertaining. To the front, security and privacy are ensured by the enclosing 'Arts and Crafts' style retaining wall. The manicured gardens, including a feature pond with fountain, provide a sense of serenity.
