Contemporary house of high quality in wonderful setting on edge of heath land

High Trees | 1 Holly Walk | Church Road | Aspley Heath | | MK17 8TQ Introduction This unique and contemporary property fully embraces its private wooded setting at the top of Aspley Heath, one of the most sought after addresses in the county. In Victorian times there were three hospitals built on Aspley Heath for the sole reason of the quality of air and environment. Architect designed, this three level house takes full advantage of its stunning location with picturesque views on the Beds/Bucks border. Great attention to detail has gone into both the design and execution and the property merges into the landscape with the use of cedar boarding and cedar shingle roof to soften the structure. The main fully glazed living area is open plan and benefits from a southerly aspect enabling the sun to provide passive solar heating throughout the main part of the day. The private landscaped gardens surrounding the house are a haven for wildlife. The property is well located for access onto both The Heath and woodland offering a wonderful healthy environment for leisure pursuits including walking, cycling and riding. First impressions are deceptive and it is only by stepping over the threshold that one can fully appreciate the quality and flexibility of the accommodation, and synergy with its wonderful setting amongst nature and the lifestyle opportunities it provides. A viewing will therefore be essential. Accommodation A handmade oak front door opens into the reception hall with two sliding oak doors revealing the cloakroom and cloakroom cupboard. The hall opens into a dramatic vaulted inner hall with bespoke oak staircase gracefully allowing access to the multi levels.
