About
An extended and greatly improved detached family home situated on a mature, secluded plot of 0.5 acre in a quiet, tucked away position close to the village centre.
Description Dorwood is a wonderful detached bungalow, individually designed and enlarged with care and thought to provide greatly improved and highly adaptable accommodation in excess of 3,500 sqft, with further outbuildings and garaging.
The property is positioned on a generous, mature plot approaching 0.5 acre backing on to fields and located in a tucked away and highly desirable position close to Little Chalfont village centre and station.
The accommodation is ideal for multi-generational living or similar and is currently arranged in two parts but with enormous potential to further rearrange the current layout if required.
A centrally positioned entrance hall with glazed porch and WC divides the two living spaces, with access to most room available from here.
To the North side of the property there are three double bedrooms served by two well-appointed bath/shower rooms.
Positioned to the rear and West side of the property there is a lovely open plan and comprehensively fitted kitchen/dining room which flows into a bright and spacious double aspect sun room with feature full height curved window alongside further full height windows and sliding doors which open out on to the gardens.
Accessed from the kitchen are a generous utility room and useful garden room. Adjacent to the sun room is a cosy part open plan sitting room which in turn leads back into the hallway.
From here the accommodation is cleverly separated by internal bi-folding doors which create both an enclosed study area and, whilst open, allow for a seamless open plan flow into a superb double aspect living room.
Accessed from the living room are a further kitchen and separate boiler room either side of an internal, secondary entrance trance hall which provides access into two more double bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms (one en suite).
The property is positioned centrally within its plot with gardens wrapping around all sides allowing for attractive views.
The gardens themselves have been landscaped with care and attention providing areas of lawn interspersed by well-kept hedging and mature trees.
The gardens are screened with mature hedging providing seclusion and privacy.
Within the garden and overlooking fields to the rear is a pretty garden room with pitched glazed roof which is ideal as a home studio, office gym or similar.
The property is accessed over a private gravel driveway which provides ample parking and gives access to the detached garage.
