Description

This beautiful Grade II listed brick and flint property occupies a tranquil setting on a superb plot surrounded by countryside and with stunning far reaching views. Routs Green Farm is believed to date back to about 1650, with later additions and is reputedly the oldest property in Bledlow Ridge. This lovely home expertly combines rustic, original features with contemporary design. There are extensive plans to extend the property offering the potential to create a unique country home with leisure facilities. Planning ref.19/06100/FUL and 19/0601/LBC.

The property is beautifully presented with characterful and extremely versatile accommodation throughout, arranged over two floors. Most of the rooms enjoy a dual aspect overlooking the gardens increasing the light throughout. On the ground floor the three reception rooms are all full of character with two enjoying period fireplaces. The farmhouse style kitchen is well equipped with a range of units and integrated appliances. Just off the dining room is a utility room and entrance porch/study. In addition on this floor is a bedroom/study alongside a well-appointed shower room.

The principal bedroom is accessed via its own staircase and is of a good size alongside a walk-in dressing room/storage. An alternative staircase leads to two further bedrooms and a family shower room. Bedroom Two benefits from substantial and creative built-in cabinetry by Neville Johnson.

Routs Green Farm enjoys a quiet and picturesque setting with fields and countryside beyond, yet with the security of neighbours nearby.

The gardens, mostly laid to lawn with areas of woodland, wrap around the house and offer glorious views. In addition there is a double length garage and a large shed. A particular highlight is a beautiful detached barn which offers further potential.
