Situation The village of Frieth is set on the upper side of the Hambleden Valley, renowned for its stunning walks and equine facilities, and with an excellent primary school, and is convenient for the neighbouring village of Lane End or nearby Marlow. The M40 junction 4 at High Wycombe is for London and Heathrow Airport (25 miles distant) with the M40 junction 5 to the north for the Midlands. Marlow is only 5 miles away with a superb selection of shops, bars and restaurants along with the Sir William Borlase Grammar school. Rail links to the City can be found at High Wycombe for Marylebone and Maidenhead for Paddington. The opening of Crossrail in 2018 will only enhance the regions communications. Description The current owners during their 28 year ownership of the property have formalized the accommodation to create a well proportioned and comfortable family house with brick and knapped flint gables under a tiled roof. The understated approach belies the imposing garden façade and views. The main reception rooms all lead off the spacious staircase hall, with double doors leading down into the panelled drawing room; with stewards bar, display niches, secret cupboards and library bookcases to either side of the fireplace. The antiquity of the house is evident from the sitting room with exposed beams and large Inglenook fireplace. The accommodation flows well with access to the first floor landing via a beautifully crafted semi circular staircase with oak handrail and turned spindles. Of the six bedrooms two are suites with four further bedrooms, bathroom and games room with access to a second staircase. There is a real potential to convert/change the eastern end of the house, should more accommodation be needed (subject to the usual planning consents). Outside Privately set with beautiful views to the South and West, over the Hambleden Valley, with a majority of the aspects of the gardens and grounds being excellent. The house is approached over a large tarmacadam courtyard which in turn gives access to the garages, whilst providing ample parking to the rear of the house. The main areas of lawn lead down towards the views which are panoramic, grass pathways and sitting areas only enhance the enjoyment of this delightful garden. A grass driveway from Shogmoor Lane allows easy access for large garden equipment, passing the granary outbuilding which would double as an excellent ‘home office’. The swimming pool is protected by established yew trees and a laurel hedge. The hard tennis court and practice wall are well sited in the garden.
