FINE & COUNTRY

This is a beautifully proportioned 5-bedroom Executive Family Home with a thoughtfully designed and very well-appointed Swimming Pool complex situation on a generous plot of just under an acre.

Accommodation summary

Located in the sought after, leafy Buckinghamshire village of Stoke Poges, just under 5 miles from the thriving town of Gerrards Cross which provides direct rail links to London Marylebone, Slough Station is also close by providing direct rail links to London Paddington and access to the Elizabeth Line. (Farringdon and the city only 40 minutes away )

Built in the early 1990’s, this beautifully proportioned ‘Queen Anne’ style Executive Family Home extends to c. 5,500 sq ft and provides 5 bedrooms, 3 of which are ensuite plus a family bathroom. The double height entrance hall and Minstrel’s Gallery provide the perfect first impressions, there is a large well-appointed kitchen diner and three further reception rooms all flooded with natural light due to the large sash windows. The current owners, who have resided in this beautiful home since it was completed have also added an exceptionally well-appointed indoor Swimming Pool complex that needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated.

Ground Floor

As you enter Vanbrugh House you are immediately impressed with the double height hallway, which sets the tone. Elegantly designed throughout with thoughtful additional features such as ceiling roses and detailed cornicing on the ground floor provide real gravitas to the accommodation.

The ground floor accommodation is great for entertaining with the triple aspect Living Room connected to the sizeable formal Dining Room via glazed double doors; both rooms are accessed via double glazed doors. Also off the hallway is the study, WC and additional handy storage cupboard.

The spacious kitchen / diner / family room is the perfect hub for family life. The painted wooden kitchen is finished in muted soft grey tones with black Granite worktops. There is a free-standing ‘Range’ cooker, integrated high level double oven, integrated dishwasher, and hob. The dining table slots neatly in the curved island unit and there is nice sized seating area.

The kitchen leads through to the utility which is fitted in matching units with a light Quartz stone sparkle worktop. There are spaces for washing machine and tumbledryer along with a range of storage. The doorway from the utility leads to the front patio area. There is also an additional reception room, currently used as a snug which would also make an ideal play room leading through to the pool complex.

The luxuriously appointed indoor swimming pool complex houses the 9 metre X 5 metre heated swimming pool with central glazed ceiling lantern and bi-folding door to two sides. There is a changing room with shower and separate WC with ample space around the pool for several sun loungers and a seating / bar area

The main lounge is absolutely lovely. It’s a very large room and it’s triple aspect so we have really nice views out to the front, side and back of the house, and having all of those windows means that throughout the day it’s flooded with natural light. However, the large open-plan kitchen is another of our favourites, mai nly because it’s such a sociable space. It’s a room for cooking, eating, chatting or relaxing on the sofa while watching a spot of TV. Everything goes on in there; it’s the real hub of our home .”
