Church Lane, Oving, Buckinghamshire, HP22

DESCRIPTION
Charles House was constructed in 2016 on land formerly belonging to the 17th century manor Oving House, the property built just the other side of the kitchen garden to Oving House, its tall wall providing a charming backdrop and wonderful privacy.
The elevations are a mellow brick on stone base that sit beneath a clay tile roof, aesthetically mirrored by the garage. Internally the accommodation is well appointed and quite beautifully presented with Karndean Victorian oak flooring covering most of the downstairs. Unusually the air source heat pump supplies underfloor heating throughout the house on both floors which highlights the excellent specification.
In the reception hall is a handsome oak dogleg staircase, a cloakroom, and allied to the understairs cupboard there is another cupboard for storage. The owner has opened up the kitchen removing a wall from the original design to create one large space with double doors off the dining or living area into the garden. The kitchen shade is ivory comprising a U shape of soft close shaker style units and black granite effect worktops. Integrated is a ?Bosch? dishwasher and remaining an ?Ilve? range cooker boasting 2 ovens and a 6 burner gas hob. There are more ivory units and granite effect worktops in the utility room alongside a stainless steel sink and the back door. The sitting room is a comfortable size, dual aspect, and centrally positioned an old stocks fireplace and stone hearth, upon which resides a cast iron woodburning stove. Byremodelling the kitchen to create an inclusive dining area there is now a reception room free for a playroom, family room or even an indulgent study.
Upstairs are four bedrooms and a bathroom equipped with a separate shower cubicle that offers a hand held shower or overhead rainfall option. Three of the bedrooms are doubles with the smallest a good single, and the principal bedroom benefitting from triple wardrobes and a pristine ensuite shower room. On the landing is a large closet and the loft is partially boarded with a light.

OUTSIDE
Charles House occupies the middle of its 0.13 acre plot, the gated entrance given to a gravelled driveway that can host up to half a dozen vehicles. The detached garage has a concrete floor, power, lighting, attic space, and an electric roller shutter door.
The main garden is south facing with the delightful view of the aforementioned kitchen garden wall bounding Oving House. An Indian sandstone patio runs along the back and down the side and the lawn wraps around three aspects. For a modern property the garden feels nicely mature and contains trees and shrubs including two ?Ceanothus? (Californian lilacs).
In the corner stands a wooden summerhouse (power and light connected) and behind the garage you find a generous vegetable patch complete with growing beds.
Being a sun trap an awning has been installed to provide shade to the seating area.
