Description
This substantial and beautifully appointed family home, built in 2004 has been further enhanced in recent years by the current owners with great care and attention on its design and presentation. The accommodation, arranged over three floors, is both spacious and meticulously maintained. Laurel House is ideally located just about a mile away from Gerrards Cross station with fast trains to London Marylebone.

The principal reception rooms are accessed via a spacious and welcoming reception hall, which also leads to a generously proportioned, superbly equipped kitchen/breakfast/family room. From the dining area, French doors open on to the terrace and garden, providing ideal indoor/outdoor dining space. An elegant, double-aspect sitting room features a striking Minster-style stone fireplace as its focal point, with two sets of French doors leading out to the terrace. The well-proportioned dining room enjoys views over the front garden, while a comfortable and well-appointed study offers a quiet retreat for work or reading. Also on the ground floor, accessed from the oak-floored reception hall, are a cloakroom and a spacious cloaks cupboard.

The first floor hosts four generously sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite is especially impressive, comprising a light-filled, dual-aspect bedroom, a dressing area, walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious en suite bathroom. The second bedroom also benefits from en suite facilities, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. In addition is a cleverly positioned laundry room with ample space for appliances.

On the second floor, there are two additional bedrooms, one of which is large enough to serve as a games room or cinema, along with a further bathroom, ideal for guests or older children.

The property sits within well-established, landscaped gardens and enjoys a sunny south-west facing rear aspect. To the front, a brick-paved driveway provides ample parking and leads to a detached double garage, complete with two electric vehicle charging points. The front garden includes an expansive lawn bordered by colourful flowerbeds, while secure gated side access leads to the rear garden. The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and offers excellent privacy, enclosed by timber fencing and mature trees, shrubs, and bushes. An attractive terrace adjoins the rear of the property, providing generous space for entertaining friends and family. Additional features include security lighting, storage shed, external power points, water butt & tap.
