Description
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.

- 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).
