"A modern four bedroom detached house with stables, a paddock and two spinneys on a 2.7 acres plot with driveway parking, a double car port, and a swimming pool with rear gardens overlooking open countryside towards the Chilterns Built in 2010, this property has the benefits of a modern building with underfloor heating on both floors from a ground source heat pump, efficient insulation, high ceilings, and iroko wood double glazed windows, but with the character of a period farmhouse. The current owners drew on years of experience to build the house from the remains of two derelict 18th century farm cottages on the site. Original cottage doors, fireplaces, timbers and even windows internal were reused in the house and any further items were reclaimed, including the Welsh slates on the pitched roofs and a stone sitting room fireplace surround. Traditional joinery was used internally and to create a timber framed rear storm porch and a carport resembling an agricultural barn. In an historic, agricultural position, the house overlooks open countryside with views of the distant Chilterns, however, the high spec. build, the newly fitted bathrooms and the swimming pool denote a contemporary construction."
