Kirkdene
Approached through elegant electric gates onto a spacious, gravelled driveway with ample parking, Kirkdene is a most attractive and beautifully presented family home. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners over many years, this exceptional property combines charm, comfort, and impressive proportions throughout.
The welcoming entrance hall, with its striking stone flooring, provides an immediate sense of quality and craftsmanship, with all principal reception rooms accessed from this central space.
At the heart of the home lies the stunning kitchen/breakfast/family room – a wonderfully light and sociable space with triple-aspect windows showcasing breathtaking views. The kitchen has been finished to an exceptional standard, featuring a large granite-topped island with integrated induction hob and extractor, extensive storage, and a useful utility room. French doors open directly onto a generous southwest-facing terrace, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. Underfloor heating runs throughout the entire downstairs, ensuring comfort all year-round.
Adjoining the kitchen, the elegant dining room easily accommodates twelve guests and enjoys the same far-reaching views across the gardens and countryside beyond.
Two beautifully proportioned reception rooms – a sitting room and a drawing room – both feature log-burning stoves and French doors leading to the gardens, creating warm, inviting spaces ideal for family living or entertaining. A well-appointed study provides an ideal area for home working.
From the drawing room, a private staircase leads to Bedroom Five, complete with en suite bathroom – a perfect guest suite or independent space for older children.
Upstairs, there are four generous double bedrooms, three of which are en suite, along with a stylish family bathroom. Each room offers lovely views, with the magnificent principal bedroom particularly notable for its size, triple-aspect windows, extensive fitted storage, and luxurious en suite. All bathrooms benefit from underfloor heating and a pressurised water system.
SELLER INSIGHT
“Kirkdene has been our family home for fifteen years, and from the moment we first saw it, we were captivated by the views - they are truly spectacular. Looking out across the Vale of Aylesbury, you can see for miles.”
“One comment that was made and I have never forgotten was that for such a large house, it had a wonderfully warm, welcoming feel, and that meant a great deal to me.”
“We’ve been the only family to live here. Over the years, we’ve lovingly reimagined parts of the home, including a complete kitchen renovation which we absolutely adore - it turned out exactly as we’d hoped. Three years ago, we added an outdoor kitchen and a pool, which have made summers here even more special.”
“My favourite room is the kitchen - we’re a family who loves to cook and it’s such a sociable space. With two top-of-the-range Neff ovens, a beautiful island, and a welcoming bar area, it’s perfect for hosting. From here, we’re lucky enough to enjoy both sunrise and sunset viewsit really is the heart of our home. The main bedroom is another favourite, with four windows framing views.”
“The garden is full of life, with a pond in the field that attracts deer, herons, ducks and the occasional fox. We enjoy sunshine from dawn until dusk, and the raised vegetable beds, fruit trees, and large rose arch bring me so much joy.”
“This has been a wonderful home for entertaining - the stone floors, spacious rooms, and flow of the house make it perfect for gatherings. We’ve celebrated every family milestone here, from birthdays to Christmases, and enjoyed countless summer pool parties. It’s been a real ‘party house’ in the best possible way.”
“The hamlet itself is small, with around eighteen houses, yet there’s a lovely sense of community. During lockdown, neighbours really came together, and that spirit of camaraderie and care was something we’ll always remember. Despite the peaceful rural setting, there are excellent schools and amenities just a short drive away.”
“What I’ll miss most are the memories we’ve made here - this is where we finished raising our family, and it’s been a truly happy home. Kirkdene has been good to us, and while it’s time to downsize, we will miss it dearly.”*
