An elegant period home with superb ancillary accommodation, set within beautifully landscaped and private gardens in a sought after Chilterns village.
Description
Piercey's is an attractive detached period home occupying a delightful rural setting, surrounded by beautifully maintained mature gardens. Thoughtfully updated in recent years, it successfully blends character features with modern family living, while also benefiting from excellent ancillary accommodation.
The kitchen / breakfast room forms the heart of the home and is a particularly light triple aspect space, fitted with an attractive range of cabinetry and incorporating a larder, Aga, butler’s sink and window seat. French doors open directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond, creating an ideal setting for both family life and entertaining.
The sitting room is a double aspect reception room featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, a window seat and woodblock flooring. Double doors provide direct access to the garden. The snug offers a more intimate retreat, with wall panelling and bespoke fitted shelving and cupboards. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a double aspect and benefits from built in wardrobes and a well-appointed en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, all with built iin storage, served by a family bathroom.
Outside, Piercey’s is approached via a five bar gate leading to a sweeping gravel driveway, providing ample parking and access to the garage. The gardens are a particular feature of the property, extending to approximately 0.41 of an acre and affording a high degree of privacy, enclosed by mature hedging and fencing.
The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with a wide variety of established shrubs, specimen trees and evergreen planting. A brick pathway leads to the front door, flanked by well stocked borders planted with lavender, while outside lighting enhances the setting.
Within the grounds stands an impressive oak framed barn incorporating a kitchenette and cloakroom, together with an adjoining single garage. A separate homestead outbuilding provides an excellent summerhouse, complete with a kitchenette and bathroom.
These highly versatile ancillary buildings are a particular feature of the property, offering excellent flexibility for home working, creative pursuits, guest accommodation, fitness, hobbies or entertaining. Benefitting from independent access, a separate driveway and dedicated parking, they provide a degree of independence from the main house whilst remaining fully integrated within the landscaped grounds.
The current owners have enjoyed the space as a recreational and entertaining area, including a dedicated table tennis room, with the table tennis table available by separate negotiation.
