A superb first floor apartment within an elegant Grade II listed country residence, nestled in mature, landscaped gardens.
Set within approximately 1.9 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, this exceptional apartment forms part of the prestigious Coleshill House, a Grade II listed country house. Built between 1680 and 1850 and sympathetically converted into just eight apartments in the 1970s, the property has been further enhanced over the years while retaining its historic character and architectural integrity.
Beautifully presented and thoughtfully refurbished to an exacting standard, the apartment combines elegant original features with carefully selected reclaimed detailing. Features include impressive high ceilings, deep skirting boards, decorative cornicing, original sash and bay windows, traditional style radiators, original fireplace and attractive wall panelling, all contributing to create a home of exceptional character, elegance and period charm.
Occupying an enviable position in the picturesque village of Coleshill, the property enjoys a delightful semi-rural setting between Amersham and Beaconsfield, offering the perfect balance of country living and convenience, with excellent transport links providing swift access to London.
A beautifully presented communal entrance hall creates an excellent first impression, with stairs leading to the apartment.
The front door opens into an a refined reception hall giving access to two well-proportioned bedrooms, one enjoying far-reaching countryside views to the front and the other overlooking the well-maintained communal gardens. These bedrooms are served by a well-appointed shower room.
Steps lead to the impressive sitting/dining room, a bright dual-aspect space ideal for both relaxing and entertaining, with stunning far-reaching views across the Chilterns. The kitchen sits just off this room, fitted with an extensive range of bespoke solid wood units complemented by granite worktops alongside a Lacanche range cooker. The principal bedroom provides an elegant retreat, featuring a magnificent bay window with delightful views over the gardens and grounds. A beautifully appointed en suite bathroom, complete with traditional-style fittings including antique mahogany panelling
and an antique cast iron rolltop bath, enhances the room's sense of luxury.
A particular feature of Coleshill House is its exceptional landscaped grounds, providing a truly idyllic setting for residents to enjoy. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained, the gardens offer a succession of beautifully planted areas, creating a quintessential English garden. Well-stocked herbaceous borders, vibrant perennial and ornamental grass plantings, and an enchanting wisteria-clad arbour create a beautiful and ever-changing landscape, complemented by a variety of secluded seating areas that provide perfect spots for relaxation and quiet reflection. A charming sunken parterre garden forms a graceful focal point, while a delightful summer house offers a peaceful retreat within the grounds. A wildflower meadow and secluded woodland glade create a wonderful sense of escape, encouraging wildlife and providing a constantly changing backdrop throughout the seasons. Residents also enjoy use of a generous terrace overlooking the gardens, an ideal setting for entertaining friends and family. The apartment further benefits from a private double garage and driveway parking for both residents and guests, while a substantial communal cellar provides additional storage.
