Halton Village, Aylesbury, HP22

A particularly handsome Rothschild residence in a beautiful garden in an enviable location in the heart of the village.

This appealing family home displays the classic Rothschild influence in its architecture and was formerly the home of the head gardener to the Halton Estate. The property has been the much cherished home of the current owner for more than forty years and has been extremely well maintained to include a new roof and new central heating boiler in 2024. Sitting in a plot approaching one acre, there is ample scope to extend, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The overhung porch opens into a generous reception hall with the staircase leading to the first floor. The large triple aspect sitting room has casement doors out to the garden and an impressive original fireplace as the focal point. The dining room is a lovely size and enjoys a bright dual aspect with another decorative original fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room has an extensive range of fitted units with Corian work surfaces and an AGA with adjoining combination cooker. To the rear is a large utility room with an adjoining office and cloakroom.

On the first floor there are four double bedrooms with an en suite dressing room to Bedroom 2, a family bathroom and a separate toilet.

OUTSIDE
Garden Close is a private road and the entrance leads to a large tarmac driveway providing ample parking for numerous vehicles. There is double garage situated within the garden. 

The gardens are quite enchanting and still have many of the original design characteristics. There is an extensive area of lawn dissected by pathways, ornamental steps and yew hedging, creating charming areas to enjoy. It is a wonderfully idyllic playground for children.
