A rare “once in a lifetime” Edwardian home has come onto the market in a popular Buckinghamshire village.

Marylands in Weedon Hill, Hyde Heath, near Amersham, is listed for a guide price of £2,875,000.

The five-bedroom property has been extensively refurbished by the current owners to create a thoughtfully designed family home.

Arranged around the entrance hall are two original reception rooms, a bright and spacious living room and a formal bay fronted drawing room with original recessed fireplace and matching pew style seating with feature windows.

An open plan kitchen to the rear of the house is also of particular note – designed with limestone flooring and featuring an extensive range of bespoke larder units with built in appliances and matching central island.

The room is framed by an aluminium bi folding window and includes aluminium crittall-style doors that lead to the rear garden. Other rooms on the ground floor include a home office, cloakroom, utility room and boot room.

The bedrooms have also been enlarged and redesigned in recent years, with the principal suite accessed through a private dressing room and enjoying an en-suite bath and shower room.

The four remaining double bedrooms include one with en-suite and the others served by a family bathroom.

Attached to the house via an inner hallway with additional cloakroom is a double garage that has been fitted to a showroom standard and includes a rear staircase leading to an additional home office.

A large limestone patio wraps around the back of the house, with the garden also featuring a basketball court and separate ‘party barn’.

Mike Lillitou, head of office at Savills in Amersham, which is selling the property, said: “Marylands is a handsome family home that’s been extensively renovated by the current owners to provide beautiful accommodation – combining the very best of traditional architecture with a clever contemporary twist and fine attention to detail.

“Positioned on a glorious plot approaching one acre and located close to the village centre, it’s rare to find an Edwardian property of such class and quality.

“Upon entering the house you are greeted by the original entrance hall and staircase, just one of many features that have been carefully and meticulously brought back to their former glory, while to the rear is a magnificent open plan kitchen/dining/family room which has been wonderfully designed and opens out to the rear garden.

“A separate detached part vaulted garden room also gives a modern take on a traditional party barn, ideal as a games room, home gym, studio or similar.

"It really is a once in a lifetime purchase.”
