Highdown in its 1.2 acres of grounds is a superb individual detached home substantially extended and upgraded by the current owners to create excellent family and entertaining accommodation as well as a nicely appointed annex, ideally located in the beautiful Chiltern Hills above Watlington backing on to ancient woodland with many picturesque walks to enjoy the great outdoors.
Through the triple height glazed entrance to the property you enter in to the hallway with the triple aspect living room leading off to the left, a Bullejan wood burning stove on a slate tiled hearth gives an interesting focal point. Off the hallway is a cloakroom and pump room housing the heating and water systems for the house as well as a range of wall and base units with work surfaces over.
Double doors also lead off the hallway to the heart of the home being a large well fitted kitchen/breakfast room, double doors open from there to the large dining room with an attractive open fireplace and bi-fold doors to the terrace.
A large utility room leads to the entrance of the self contained annex and provides access to the sizeable double garage. Stairs lead down to the basement with a cold room/wine store and an excellent large entertainment cinema and games room with a 3.7m wide by 1.9m screen area.
On the first floor there are 4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 en suite shower room and the galleried landing space looking out through the glazed front. At the Southeast end of the hall is the triple aspect master suite with vaulted ceiling, Juliet balcony and a dressing room (with plumbing ready for an en suite).
The second floor has a central lounge space with two double bedrooms leading off either side.
The particularly well laid out annex has a double bedroom with en suite shower room on the ground floor and a well fitted open plan kitchen/dining/living room with wood burning stove and separate cloakroom on the first floor.
Outside, the property is approached through wooden gates on to a large gravel driveway wrapping around the front, side and rear giving access to the garages. The matured gardens are mainly laid to lawn with established hedge borders, trees and shrubs. To the rear are two stables with a storage shed to the side. The whole of the property sits in about 1.2 acres and does have the benefit of planning permission for a detached 4 bedroom house should this be required.
Highdown has a wonderful location on the edge of the village of Christmas Common, situated in the Chiltern Hills in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offering miles of riding and walking in the surrounding countryside. The village has a highly regarded public house/restaurant, The Fox and Hounds which is a 4 minute walk away, and the nearby town of Watlington has a good range of local shops and amenities. The larger centres of Henley, Oxford and High Wycombe provide extensive recreational, educational and shopping facilities. Excellent schools in the area include Rupert House, Moulsford, Cranford House, the Oratory and the Abingdon schools. There is a mainline train service from High Wycombe to London Marylebone (from 25 minutes) and access to the M40 J5 is just 4 miles away.
