Description

Occupying a lovely, tucked away setting this well presented family home enjoys a generous footprint offering versatile accommodation throughout, ideal for growing families. Perfectly located for easy access to the surrounding countryside, connections to London are excellent with fast trains to London Marylebone from Gerrards Cross station, just about a mile away.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors with generous reception space on the ground floor. The layout is well considered with a large, galleried reception hall, with guest cloakroom and stairs to the first floor, creating an excellent first impression. The sitting room is of wonderful proportions, enjoying a dual aspect with French doors on to the garden and a Limestone fireplace with a wood burner. The adjacent dining room is also of a good size, overlooking the garden and with French doors giving access. A particular highlight is the open plan kitchen/breakfast room, with an excellent range of units giving plentiful storage, complemented by granite worktops and integrated Miele appliances. A separate island unit provides breakfast bar seating and additional storage. A large family room lies just off the kitchen, giving further versatile reception space. In addition on this floor is a fully fitted utility room, gym area with shower room and doors leading to the indoor heated swimming pool and sauna. Three sets of doors open on to the outside terrace, connecting the room to the garden beautifully.

On the first floor the galleried landing leads to five double bedrooms, all with built-in storage. The principal bedroom is well proportioned with a superb range of wardrobes and a generous en suite bathroom. A family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. There are two extensive sized lofts both lofts have been insulated and the smaller loft fully boarded with a Velux window, giving plenty of opportunity for a loft conversion (subject to the usual planning consents).

A gravelled driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles alongside a double garage and a car port. In addition is an electric car charger. Little Meadow enjoys a corner plot, with attractive gardens to the front and rear. The rear garden is a real highlight, being both level and generous in size. An extensive terrace wraps around the house providing several seating and dining areas, perfect for entertaining friends and family. The garden is wonderfully landscaped with a large area of lawn and well stocked beds and borders. Mature hedging frames the boundaries providing privacy and seclusion. Beyond the formal garden is a small woodland area alongside an outbuilding which is currently used as an outside store but could have a multitude of uses.
