Location

Iver station 2.5 miles, Uxbridge 3 miles, Gerrards Cross 5 miles, Windsor 7.5 miles, Heathrow 7.5 miles, central London 20 miles. All distances are approximate.

The village of Iver, with its selection of local shops and restaurants, is surrounded by fields and woodland, yet only a short distance from the M40 motorway with access to both the M25 and M4. Windsor, Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross provide a more comprehensive range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities.

The mainline railway station at Iver, within 2.5 miles of the property, benefits from being on the recently opened Elizabeth Line, providing direct trains to London Paddington, Bond Street and Canary Wharf. From Denham, the Chiltern Line runs into London Marylebone and the Metropolitan line underground links to Baker Street at Uxbridge.

There are excellent local sporting amenities including the highly regarded Buckinghamshire Golf Club and many beautiful riverside and woodland walks, including those in Denham Country Park, Black Park, Langley Park and Burnham Beeches.

Buckinghamshire is renowned for its choice and standard of schooling, and is one of the last counties to maintain the traditional grammar school system.

The sitting room to the rear overlooks the garden and is of generous proportions, with French doors to the outdoor terrace and a Cotswold stone fireplace with an open fire creating a relaxed living space. Doors from this room open into the formal dining room, enjoying a dual aspect and a brick fireplace, again with a working fire. A charming snug lies adjacent, ideal as a TV room but also could be used as an office. The kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with a range of storage units and appliances and there is ample room for a breakfast table overlooking the garden. Double doors open on to the veranda providing an ideal spot for outside dining. Just off the kitchen is a useful utility/store room.
