A gloriously grand four bedroom, four storey Grade II listed Jacobean country house, set amongst just under an acre of impeccably landscaped grounds offered with a complete upper chain. Splendidly secluded nestled amongst the Bedfordshire countryside, you're nonetheless within easy walking distance of Woburn Sands for all of the amenities one could need. This home is a one of a kind that is just not to be missed.

IF THIS WAS YOUR HOME...Step off the quiet country road, through the gates and onto your expansive, secluded grounds. Immaculate lawns and a sweeping gravelled driveway lead up to that stately film-set ready frontage, if you are looking for a home that makes you smile whenever you arrive, this could be the one for you, simply gorgeous.

Surrounded by mature screening foliage, with nothing but protected woodland and open countryside beyond, this is a home as sheltered as it is striking, as expansive as it is luxurious, and a genuine one of a kind find. We could explore your grounds for hours, and you will, but let's move inside for now.

Step through your storm porch and into your hallway, slate tiling flows underfoot, inviting you onward while on your left is your 270 square foot lounge, with original timber beams overhead and engineered hardwood flooring. A striking stone mantel and exposed brick hearth take centre stage, while windows front and back frame views of your grounds.

Next down the hall is your 350 square foot kitchen/diner. In here, once again, the original architecture is very much in evidence, with leaded windows and timber beams overhead, but in every other respect this is a sleek, modern space.

Ranks of gleaming, glossy cabinets line the kitchen walls, softly underlit and home to high end appliances including a hot water tap. Freestanding appliances include the American style fridge freezer, wine cooler and range cooker, there is also an integrated microwave. A substantial kitchen island takes centre stage, statement wallpaper overlooks the dining area and there's a whole host of further designer touches.

Next door and the classic and contemporary are blended once again as you step out below the double height, vaulted and glazed ceilings of your splendid orangery. Blonde hardwood timbers connect the main house to the original outbuilding, creating a bright and airy 250 square foot space, ideal for taking in the lush greenery of your thriving gardens, no matter the time of year.

You can also find the original kitchen courtyard here, a wonderfully secluded solace within the broader privacy of your grounds. A 100 square foot utility room completes things, before we head past the cloakroom back to the staircase.

Upstairs your principal suite is on the left. A 170 square foot dual aspect double bedroom leads to a dedicated dressing room and sumptuous en suite bathroom with walk in rainfall shower cubicle.

A second suite sits at the other end of the hall, home to another sizeable double bedroom, elegantly finished with en suite bathroom. Your family bathroom sits in between, elegant and modern with shower over the tub.

Up onto the second floor now, down the lengthy internal hallway, past a dedicated study (one of a wealth of options for home workers) and up to the vaulted second floor.

Up here you have two more double bedrooms, each a generous 150 square feet, sat under skylights with original timber beams running the length of each space for a real sense of the heritage and scale of your new home.

Beyond the main house itself the highlights are numerous. Your cellar totals 260 square feet, zoned by a series of archways and ideal for all manner of uses, including wine storage. Your detached double garage adds plenty of secure parking to your new property's plentiful plusses but it could also be utilised as storage or a workshop. There is even the detached 160 square foot office providing yet another option for home workers, alternatively this could be a wonderful playroom for teenagers or even utilised as an annexe.

One last turn around the grounds now, to really take in the sheer scale of the seclusion on offer. Set back from the road behind high hedges, surrounded by nothing but open country with a gate leading to the Woburn woods and nestled within a treetop canopy of mature foliage. It could be the only home in all of Bedfordshire. Enjoying just under an acre plot there is so much garden to explore with space for the family to enjoy and large patios perfect for alfresco dining, BBQ’s and entertaining all year round.

From the moment you enter the property through your electric gates you can see the vast amount of parking on offer on your gravel driveway and as you look left you will get your first glimpse of this just beautiful home with the front path with feature trees and striped lawns leading to the pedestrian just completing the look perfectly.

YOUR NEIGHBOURHOODOutside, step out your gate and cross the road to walk alongside the woodlands opposite. Despite your enviable seclusion it's less than ten minutes stroll to the heart of Woburn Sands village.

Unusually, the village straddles the border of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, with parts in both counties.

Believed to have its roots in a nearby Iron Age hill fort called Danesborough Camp, the current name is related to nearby Woburn replacing, thankfully, the previous name of 'Hogsty End', supposedly at the request of a local schoolmaster.

These days there are fourteen 'Outstanding' schools within a short drive. The closest, Aspley Guise Village School, is just five minutes in the car.

Venturing further afield, Milton Keynes is close enough to be handy without affecting the village's community feel. A twenty minute drive will get you to the Milton Keynes centre, with its huge shopping centre, lively nightlife and rail station.

From here it's just twenty five minutes direct to London Euston, adding up to a forty five minute, door to door commute between town and country.
