The Property: An impressive and substantial family home with around 5800 sq. Ft of light and spacious accommodation and gardens of 1.9 acres set in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the edge of the Chilterns.
Description: This impressive property was built in the 1930's and has a rich history. It was formerly known as The Chequers Inn Public House for 30 years. This stunning home has been sympathetically extended and enhanced by the current owner to include a gorgeous Orangery which overlooks the sunny landscaped gardens and meadow beyond.
Approached by a generous gravel driveway leading to a double garage, steps up to the front door open into the entrance hall which leads to all the major reception rooms and kitchen. The bright family kitchen/breakfast room has windows on three sides and is fitted to a high standard. A spiral staircase offers alternative access to the Master bedroom suite. The Orangery/family room at garden level leads from the kitchen. Other formal reception rooms include the drawing room and dining room, there is also a sitting room/snug, study, utility room and cloakroom. On the lower ground floor there is a sizeable games/cinema room and shower room with separate access to the gardens via the boot room.
On first and second floor level the principal suite is accompanied by five further bedrooms and two additional bathroom/showers all of which have a variety of rural outlooks.
Outside the garden grounds stretch away from the house which is set adjacent to Whipsnade Common, and comprise an attractive and sunny terrace surrounded by well stocked borders, leading onto the formal lawn. The whole garden is well screened and lined with trees and mature shrubs with the addition of a meadow and orchard area with fields beyond. There is a garden and machinery store and the gravelled driveway with parking for numerous cars leads to the double integral garage.
Nb. There was a minor occurrence of subsidence in the early 2000’s due to a tree, this was remedied via insurance and supporting documentation is available.
Covenant – Please note that there is a covenant on the paddock area of the garden. If this land is built on, half of the land value increase would be due to the original owners of the pub.
Agents note: The boiler runs on liquid Propane gas.
Council Tax: Band: H - £4,124.80 (2023/24)
