Description

Throshers Field occupies a wonderfully private plot, set back from the road with a delightful rear garden. Ideally located in the hamlet of Forty Green but just over a mile to Beaconsfield station the property enjoys the benefits of both town and country living. The property would now benefit from modernisation and offers an opportunity to re-develop or possibly extend, subject to the usual planning consents.

On the ground floor a covered entrance porch, clad with a climbing hydrangea, opens into the reception hall. Overlooking the south facing garden, both the reception rooms are of a good size with doors on to the outside terrace. The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with a range of units and appliances, with plenty of room for a table. A fully fitted utility room, with storage and space for appliances, gives side access to the garden.

On the first floor are four bedrooms together with a family bathroom and adjacent shower room. With lovely garden views, the principal bedroom is spacious with a range of built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. A further bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower room.

The gardens are well established and well screened by mature trees at the front with a private driveway providing plenty of parking and a garage with attached store. The south facing rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and enclosed with fencing and beautifully screened with a wonderful array of specimen mature trees and shrubs, including of particular note a Gingko tree, one of the oldest living tree species in the world, and a spectacular established Jacaranda tree. A terrace adjoins the rear of the house, perfect for outside dining and the perfect spot to enjoy the garden.
