Discover This Exquisite Detached Single Storey Home On Nags Head Lane With Four Double Bedrooms And Ample Parking. Available To Purchase In Two Lots - Lot 1 Includes House And Gardens, Lot 2 Includes The House, Gardens And Field With Orchard.
Set well back behind a mature beech hedge, Red Gable makes the most of an exceptional plot. In 2018 its architect owners transformed an ordinary 1950s bungalow into a home for their family of five. Large windows open up views on every side, and the layout gives parents and children their own space, joined by the hall, kitchen and living areas. Available as Lot 1 (house and gardens) or Lots 1 and 2 together (including the rear field and orchard)

The kitchen/dining room is the heart of the house and has seen everything from family meals to school projects and bike repairs. Bespoke birch-ply architraves and glazed double doors lead into the vaulted sitting room, with its skylights, open fire and wall of built-in shelving: a calm retreat for evenings and music practice.
The principal suite is a private wing of its own, its door opens into a study, which leads straight through, without a further door, to the sleeping area and then the ensuite. The sleeping area is designed around the view rather than the floor space: the bed sits between built-in cupboards, so you wake looking straight out over the garden and field, an exceptional outlook in every season.
An EnviroVent Spider whole-house ventilation system and a new boiler keeps every room fresh and comfortable all year, and the sheltered courtyard is a place to sit out in most seasons.
At the front, the drive takes four cars and leads to a double garage with an EV charger. Behind the house, the garden opens onto the property's own gently rising field (Lot 2) that spans 3 properties in total - unusual for properties on this side of Nag's Head Lane - with an orchard that produced this year's damson jam, a compost area and space for a vegetable patch - which kept the family in beans, potatoes and carrots during lockdown. The rising ground gives open views and privacy all year round.
The station is 5 minutes by car or 10 by bike, and the village is within walking distance, with footpath shortcuts in summer. Single-storey living with room for a growing family is a rare combination this close to Great Missenden.
Guide price: £995,000 for Lot 1 (house and gardens)
