Privately positioned, set back at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with views of the countryside, this stunning and unique property is the epitome of elegant living.

The Oak House, aptly named for its impressive, high quality, solid oak framed structure, is nothing short of breathtaking. Whilst only constructed twelve years ago, the beautiful, intricate elevations - Tudor in style - have been lovingly created with painstaking attention to detail, together with a level of craftsmanship, to match the finest properties of those days gone by.

As one approaches, the wide, silvered oak timbers of the Wealdon frame set the scene, filling one with anticipation of what lies inside: the perfect blend of traditional quality, with a clean, modern, contemporary feel that is perfect for twenty-first century family living.

From the moment you enter, an abundance of beautiful oak greets you. The sizeable reception hall, with its beamed, vaulted ceiling and open fireplace, is magnificent in proportions and also serves as an elegant dining room, amply spacious to effortlessly entertain the largest of families at Christmas.

The kitchen/breakfast room, fitted to a bespoke design by Nicholas James, features polished granite work surfaces, while the unusual central island, with its stylish, elevated oak breakfast bar, is perfect for life ?on the go`.

The property offers two principal reception rooms: a large formal drawing room, and a smaller sitting room. Both sumptuous rooms enjoy views over the gardens and have open fires for those cosy evenings. From the formal entrance hall, there is also access to a cloakroom, walk-in coats cupboard, and boot room.

Ascend the principal solid oak staircase, the first floor is no less impressive than the ground. A sizeable galleried landing with a magnificent vaulted ceiling, is flooded with natural light from its full length clerestory windows and also enjoys countryside views. From here, the four principal bedrooms can be found. The beautiful, split-level master bedroom suite, with luxurious Porcelanosa tiled en suite bathroom and high quality Matki shower, enjoys a dual aspect and an unusual mezzanine-level dressing room. The stylish guest bedroom, also with a mezzanine floor, features an en suite shower room. The two remaining double bedrooms, one of which also has its own en suite facilities, share an impressive covered balcony which overlooks the rear garden.

The secondary staircase, accessed from the boot room or first floor landing, helps provide flexible living accommodation, leading to a self-contained annexe area on the second floor, comprising a sitting room with kitchenette, double bedroom and en suite shower room. Whilst this ideal space could comfortably accommodate an au pair or elderly relative, it could also just as soon make a luxury office suite, home gym, or ?teenage den`.

The secondary staircase also leads to the lower ground floor, with a utility room and dedicated plant room quietly looking after the ?behind the scenes` functionality of the house. Finally, a tucked away games room ? perfect for a weekend snooker tournament, crashing away on the drums, or for movie nights in with friends ? completes the picture.

Outside, the generous plot extends to almost half an acre; large enough for kicking a ball around at the weekend, yet intimate enough for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. The stylish outdoor space is every bit as beautiful as the house itself, enjoying a high degree of privacy and close to open countryside.

To the front, a gated driveway provides parking for a number of cars, leading to a garage and a covered double carport.

Finally, in terms of location, again the property also offers the best of both worlds. Located less than two miles from Berkhamsted, but just inside the Buckinghamshire border, it is fortunate enough to be situated within the grammar schools catchment area while, for those seeking education through the independent sector, Berkhamsted School and Chesham Preparatory School are also both only a short drive away.
