Missenden Road

One of the larger apartments in this superb Grade I listed mansion house, at one time the ancestral home of local landowners the Tyrwhitt Drake family. Set at the front in a private position on the top floor, the property offers bright and spacious accommodation with significant improvements made by the existing owner over their tenure, including two new bathrooms and an upgraded kitchen/breakfast room. The apartment is double glazed and gas centrally heated throughout and offers wonderful character features including beamed walls and ceilings, decorative cornicing and old school style radiators in the main rooms.

The apartment is accessed via a most impressive reception hall with decorative plasterwork and a large fireplace. A staircase hall at the rear house with a gently rising staircase to all floors. A personal landing for just two apartments gives access to a welcoming hall with wood floor, loft access and airing cupboard. The large living/ dining room has lovely decorative cornicing and doors opening onto the private roof terrace and a hidden storage room. The modern kitchen/breakfast room has been upgraded with an extensive range of bespoke units with granite worktops and breakfast bar, ceiling mounted extractor and integrated appliances including a wine fridge. The main bedroom is a lovely bright space and boasts a luxurious ensuite shower with Duravit fittings, a dressing room with fitted furniture and another storage room beyond. There is a second double bedroom with access to a Jack and Jill style bathroom which also opens onto the hall and a study with a fitted bookcase which gives access to the third bedroom with an interesting beamed ceiling.

Shardeloes is approached along a tree lined drive, past the local cricket club, to a gravelled drive which sweeps past the main house to two car parking areas beyond and is set in approximately 50 acres of formal gardens and parkland. The property has a single garage in one of the blocks
for residents to the rear, with light and power. The grounds are maintained by a live in caretaker.
