A detached brick and flint home located in the picturesque Hambleden Valley, set in 0.42 of an acre, with outstanding country views and a further 21.72 acres of paddocks and woodland.
All Saints is built in a typical mid-Victorian ecclesiastical style and is understood to have originally been constructed by the Church of England in 1886 as a chapel of ease. The property was sold by the Church of England in 1976 and converted into a private dwelling in 1979. Later additions include detached garage constructed circa 1981 and green oak conservatory (approx. 2011) and loggia. All Saints is now a wonderful and unique family home set in 0.42 of an acre. With outstanding country views, located in the picturesque Hambleden Valley.
An impressive front door opens into the vestibule area with paned doors into the bright and spacious tiled reception hallway with bridge stairs that lead to the first floor landing via a wide oak staircase. Overlooking the front there is a study / bedroom four next to a cloakroom with shower. At the heart off the house is the L- shaped kitchen / breakfast room. Off the kitchen is the characterful triple aspect green oak garden room with wood burner and lovely views to the garden and countryside beyond.
The inner hallway is accessed off the kitchen/breakfast room, where the dining room and the triple aspect family room at the rear of the house can be accessed. The family room has delightful views across the garden, onto the fields and woodland beyond via French doors.
On the first floor, there is a stunning split level vaulted triple aspect sitting room that overlooks the front. Towards the rear of the house are bedrooms two and three. A separate shower room and nursery / laundry room. The principal bedroom is at the rear of the house with stunning views over the garden, paddocks and open countryside.
Outside, to the front of the property is a generous shingled driveway with detached brick and flint double garage with a workshop above and storage to the side and rear of the garage. From the garage a loggia runs to the garden room, providing a covered walkway. To the side of the garden room is an Italian style garden with attractive patio and tiled Pergola providing sanctuary, shelter and shade whatever the season.
The grounds of the house and gardens are approximately 0.42 of an acre, mainly laid to lawn with mature borders. At the rear of the garden, accessed via a private pathway (Title No BM 330151) is a field (BM 297973) and woodland (BM 230657) amounting to approximately 22 acres. In the woods there is a cabin, built approximately four years ago that would make a wonderful writer's retreat.

A truly unique home set in the Hambleden Valley, with beautiful views of the surrounding Chiltern countryside. I particularly like walking up to the additional land to take in the scenery.
