STEP INSIDE
Garden House
Discreetly tucked away and approached over a graveled driveway, Garden House is a beautifully appointed and well-proportioned brick and flint property constructed in 1987 with great emphasis on space and light hence providing wonderful proportions throughout. The recently extended kitchen/breakfast room is a fantastic addition and serves to deliver modern living in abundance.
Upon entering Garden House the central hallway provides access to all the principal rooms – consisting of a Sitting Room/playroom, Dining Room, Large Drawing Room, Study and the stunning Kitchen Breakfast room which opens out onto the large, private and quiet terrace and gardens, as does the drawing room. Furthermore, there is an expansive utility room off the kitchen which also has direct access to the garden.
Upstairs there four double bedrooms on the first floor, with the principal bedroom having views over the garden and a well-appointed en-suite shower room being of particular note. There is also a generous family bathroom serving the three other double bedrooms. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms and a shower room. The larger of the two bedrooms has extensive eves space that could be used as a playroom, studio, or very generous storage.
SELLER INSIGHT
We have called Garden House our home for over 20 years, and in that time, we have shaped it into exactly what we wanted: a place where family life and the great outdoors blend effortlessly. The heart of the house is our open-plan kitchen and dining space, created after a major extension in which we also converted the loft into two additional bedrooms and a bathroom. The kitchen-diner flows into the living room and out onto the veranda — a lovely spot in which to enjoy the garden, come rain or shine. The easy indoor-outdoor flow of the house and garden gives us the flexibility for everyday life and entertaining alike. Family gatherings naturally spill outside, and we have enjoyed countless relaxing evenings out here, too.
“The garden itself is a joy. We have grown our own vegetables in raised beds and a greenhouse, let the lawn go wild with wildflowers, and enjoyed fruit from our plum and pear trees. When the children were younger, it was a football pitch; now, it is a haven for birds, bees, and barbecues. Our L-shaped plot also holds a versatile outbuilding, complete with its own kitchen and bathroom. This has been everything from a teenage party space to a peaceful home office.
“Beyond the garden gate is the sought-after village of Ashley Green with its thriving community, from social events and classes at the village hall, to evenings at the friendly local pub. Within catchment for Buckinghamshire’s excellent grammar schools, including Chesham Grammar and Dr. Challoner’s Grammar School, this has been the perfect base for our children to grow up. There is a fantastic play area on the village green with a lovely café where parents can chat while the children run around. Weekends often meant walking into Berkhamsted for a coffee or heading straight from the front door onto miles of cycling routes, running trails, and footpaths through open fields. Yet, we are within easy reach of rail and road networks, with direct trains from Berkhamsted to Euston and Metropolitan line services from Chesham, and easy access to the M25 motorway via the A41. We really do have the best of both worlds here.”*

Outside, the private and peaceful garden is particularly generous and extends to circa 1/3 of an acre. There is also the added bonus of rear access not to mention the extremely generous annexe/ lodge that is located at the end of the garden. There is mains power and drainage to the building and it would make for a perfect office, annexe or games room.
Lastly, there is a well-proportioned garage to the front of the house and there is extensive parking for multiple vehicles on the driveway.
