Description

The Bears Green estate is an exclusive gated community of 10 residences set in 25 acres with access to country walks, ponds and wildlife, and includes this impressive property nestling in about 1.77 acres of private garden. A long gravel drive leads to a spacious parking area flanked by rose beds, large lawns and access to the double garage, with electric garage doors and EV charger. Entering via the contemporary double front door the awe-inspiring, partially double height reception/dining hall features a fabulous central oak and glass staircase and inset black-and-white Amtico tiling surrounded by Karndean flooring that flows throughout the house. Behind the staircase, is a light and bright dining or sitting area with French doors to the covered central terrace, while just inside the front door is a charming snug/study. The impressive dual aspect sitting room includes a brick fireplace with a log burner and French doors to the terrace. The luxury dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room created by Collins Bespoke also has a spacious seating area and French doors to the terrace. The bespoke matt shaker style units and hard wearing composite worktops house Neff appliances and a Quooker tap supplying filtered and boiling water. There is also a wide peninsular breakfast bar and an adjacent utility room fitted with matching units, a door to a contemporary cloakroom, access to the double garage and to the garden.
The divided staircase leads to an impressive galleried landing adjacent to a spacious viewing gallery providing stunning rural views. The main bedroom includes a superb dressing area and an ensuite bathroom. There is also a family shower room, a double bedroom/gym, a double bedroom with laundry facilities, a delightful office/fifth bedroom and a guest double with an ensuite shower.
The large, totally secluded rear garden includes a spacious terrace bordered by a vast lawn interspersed with trees and backing onto farmland and the ancient Bears Wood. There is a magnificent 50,000 litre raised koi pond and a substantial garden shed/workshop.
What the Owner says:
The house and land exude peace and vitality, from the stillness of the night air - interrupted only by the hoot of an owl or nightingale calls in Spring - to the pheasants that wander the lawns, attracted by the tranquility. The back garden is bordered by farmland on the one side; the tops of ancient woodland trees peak over the fence on the other - radiant markers of the changing seasons.
It's an unusually private and beautiful space; the magic is palpable.
The wider Bears Green estate is also unique, only ten properties on twenty-five acres of greenery, with a wildlife area and a scenic walking track. After a long day in London or spent exploring local attractions, expect to arrive home under a canopy of stars, rabbits roaming serenely in the moonlight.
We are very reluctant to leave this property, but a change in our circumstances means that we must hand over the stewardship of this special place to new owners.

  • Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
  • Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
  • Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
