A Grade II listed period property nestled in four acres of formal gardens and paddocks is on the market for £1,795,000.
Bloomfield Farm, located in Bellingdon, Chesham, is a four-bedroom home with a collection of barns and outbuildings that have potential for residential conversion, subject to planning permission.
The property features three independent reception rooms, a part-vaulted kitchen and breakfast room complete with an Aga, and an adjoining boot room and utility.
The estate agent notes that the property also boasts exposed timbers, attractive open fireplaces, and two bathrooms, one of which is ensuite.
The house sits on approximately four acres of land, with a south-westerly facing garden and a large sun terrace at the rear.
A post and rail fence separates the private paddock, which has independent vehicular access and could be used for equestrian purposes.
The property also includes a spacious block-paved courtyard with ample parking.
The barns and outbuildings on the property offer potential for residential conversion, subject to planning permission.
A successful pre-application for residential conversion of the barns and outbuildings was achieved in 2015.
The property is situated high in the Chilterns, a region of outstanding natural beauty.
