Detailed

Bentley House is tucked away in an idyllic location and accessed via an impressive driveway which immediately showcases the very special location. The property is a fine example of bespoke, modern architecture. It has been carefully designed in an ‘upside down’ style which maximises its beautiful countryside setting, with views towards the Brill-
Winchendon Hills area of attractive landscape (AAL), and connects it with the topography of the land.

The ground floor entrance hall leads into a striking central entertaining space comprising the kitchen, dining and living areas complete with triple glazed windows framing the panoramic views in almost every direction. This is the heart of the home and is a statement room with its vaulted ceiling, acoustic panelled media wall and large roof lights. The sleek and modern kitchen includes quality integrated appliances, a large island with quartz work surface and clever storage. It also has direct access to a substantial west-facing terrace from which the owners enjoy sharing the open skies and sunsets with friends. The very generous principal bedroom suite is currently positioned on the ground floor benefitting from the higher level views to the rear of the property. It also links to a reception room currently used as a study, but with its own main entrance, therefore offering the potential for ancillary accommodation. Everything in the property has been well planned to make the rooms versatile and user friendly including several options for office and bedroom spaces and more than ample storage allowing any clutter to be hidden from view.

A feature glass panelled and ash tread staircase leads down to the lower ground floor where there are four spacious ensuite bedrooms laid out across the back of the house. Each suite enjoys the same open garden views through bifold doors and each has matching full length built in storage. Across the hall there are 4 utility spaces, again with flexibility
in terms of their use. Currently there is a gym with its own outside door, a large storeroom and a laundry room with second kitchen. This leads to a plant room and gardeners’ loo, also with exterior access. The plant room includes the Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery system and the water softener. Just outside the back door, the Air Source Heat Pump provides underfloor heating to the whole property.

Gardens, land & out buildings
The gardens and land at Bentley House are extensive and offer potential for development (subject to planning) and extended landscaping. The overall plot is approximately 3.5 acres including two rectangular paddocks totalling around 2 acres. They are well drained and enclosed with new wooden gates and mature hedging. To the rear of the house, there is a stone terrace and sizeable lawn which gently slopes down to around an acre of woodland.

The property has ample parking as well as two large triple garage blocks, both with slate roofs, full power and lighting. The first is positioned to the front of the property, the second sits below the main drive and leads to a storage poly tunnel.
Included in the sale is a larger than average and newly built Shepherd’s Hut, currently situated in the top paddock. It is fully habitable with a kitchenette, toilet/ shower room and living/ sleeping area and offers ready potential for ancillary or holiday accommodation.
