Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire

MONTARA HOUSE

An exceptional six bedroom home of over 5250 sq ft, with planning permission granted for a loft conversion.

An opportunity to live in a brilliantly designed and proportioned home in Seer Green (23 mins train journey to London Marylebone), on the periphery of Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross, with a large lawned garden stunning countryside views.

Montara House is a six bedroom home with planning permission granted for a further 900 sq ft in the loft and a large garden overlooking stunning Buckinghamshire countryside. This impressive home has been built to an excellent standard throughout. The majority of the house has been built over two floors (raised ground and first) with the rear of the house opening up directly onto the patio and garden.

Entrance to the house: grand front stone balustrade staircase leading to balcony porch and front door, with generous central entrance hallway and focal central staircase to first floor. From hallway: cloakroom, library/study (currently a quiet reading room) and French doors to front balcony, dining room, reception room with French doors to patio and a thoughtfully fitted and spacious kitchen/breakfast room (with back door to garden). The reception, library/study and kitchen/breakfast room all benefit from beautiful stone hearths with gas fires. Door and internal stairs down to ground floor.

From the hallway, central staircase to galleried first floor with principle bedroom straight ahead, including fitted wardrobes, spacious separate dressing room, separate nursery room (bedroom 6) and juliette balcony in principle overlooking the garden and stunning countryside views. On this floor off the gallery, four further bedrooms (two of which ensuite, one with a juliette balcony) and a family bathroom with separate shower. Planning permission then allows for a staircase replica of the ground to first floor from the first to second floor.

From the hallway, the ground floor is accessed by a staircase leading down to the garage, a further w.c (which could easily be turned into a shower room), a utility room /kitchenette, leading to the second garage which has been sealed off from the garage door and turned into a storage room, then external access to a further studio room. This floor could be converted into a self-contained one bedroom apartment with its own access; you would be able to do this and keep the existing garage.

Seller Insight

Set in a beautiful village location and surrounded by greenery, Montara House is a tranquil haven that took hold of my heart as soon as I walked inside, and I felt safe and enveloped in its amazing energy. That feeling grew stronger and stronger as we went through the house and I knew then that we’d found our home,” say the owners.

“Montara House is a large property but it has this incredible flow to it so it’s not overwhelming. There are private spaces to enjoy and it’s perfect for day-to-day family life and entertaining which is ideal as I love to host friends and family at any opportunity! The dining room easily accommodates up to 12 guests and it flows through to the kitchen and patio beyond. I wanted to create a warm and welcoming ambience which guests always comment upon.”

“The garden joins seamlessly with the house to create a fabulous space where we can relax in the peace and quiet. It’s full of nature and wildlife, and I’ll never tire of waking up to the sight of deer standing in the garden. Birds of prey soar overhead and horses in the field behind us often come over to say hello. It’s a very private garden; we’re not overlooked and we can’t see or hear anyone else when we’re out there.”

“The village has a kind and friendly community where people are happy to chat and help out, whilst being respectful of privacy. There are two lovely pubs here, one of which has a Michelin star, and there is a wide choice of restaurants in the surrounding area. The best thing about living here though is that we have easy access to bridlepaths and fields; there’s nothing better than taking yourself for a walk or bike ride on a sunny day and grounding yourself in nature.”

“I love the whole house but if I had to choose my favourite room, I would pick two! The sitting room is my Happiness room where I sit in peace and harmony amongst the gorgeous fabrics and candles. It’s equally as wonderful in winter with the fire on, as it is in summer with doors open to the patio. My other favourite space is my Therapy room. It’s a calm, restful space where I have the doors open to the greenery and it doesn’t feel like work at all when I’m there.”*
