4 Bett Haus Freistehend

Occupying a peaceful and private elevated position, set back from Stanley Road, Carinya forms part of the highly regarded Battledown Estate, a historic Victorian estate renowned for its exclusivity, proximity to outstanding schools, nearby amenities and access to open countryside. Despite its tranquil setting, the property remains conveniently located within easy reach of the town centre, approximately a 20 minute walk or 10 minute drive.
Designed by the highly respected local architect Roger Dyer, the house is thoughtfully positioned within its half-acre plot so that all principal rooms enjoy views across the gardens, maximising its desirable south-westerly aspect.
Owned by the same family since its construction in 1974, the property has been well maintained and thoughtfully updated in recent years to create a modern, contemporary feel. It is presented in good condition throughout and offers clear potential for enlargement if required, subject to the necessary consents, enhancing what is already an exceptional family home.
Internally, the accommodation is beautifully arranged with a strong emphasis on natural light. At the heart of the home is an sizeable 25ft contemporary kitchen/dining/family room featuring a central island with breakfast bar, an extensive range of modern units, and bi-fold doors opening onto the south-westerly facing garden, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a reception hall with cloakroom, a cosy snug/home office, a useful bathroom off the kitchen, and a stunning drawing room with a vaulted wooden ceiling, feature fireplace, and a large corner picture window offering far-reaching views across the town and its own garden.
The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes, while the remaining three bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for family life or home working. A well-appointed shower room and generous landing storage complete the accommodation.
The property is approached via a sweeping driveway leading to a large double garage and ample parking. The gardens are a particular highlight, private and thoughtfully arranged over two tiers incorporating a spacious paved terrace with a swimming pool, extensive lawned areas ideal for recreation, and an exceptional garden room/home office. A covered, heated entertaining area further enhances the outdoor space, all enclosed by mature trees providing a high degree of privacy and a peaceful setting. Carinya is located at the end of its own private drive in an elevated position tucked away on the lower slopes of Stanley Road, on the right-hand side shortly after the turning on to Stanley Road from Battledown Approach. Excellent amenities can be found in Charlton Kings at Sixway’s whilst the town centre is less than a twenty minute walk away for a wider selection. The property is well placed for a number of outstanding local schools including Holy Apostles’ Primary School, Berkhamsted School, Ashley Manor Prep School and the property also falls within the Balcarras catchment zone. The Battledown Estate is a private barriered estate dating from the Victorian era and is located to the east side of the town conveniently placed for access to the Cotswold’s Oxford & London via the A40 which is only a five minute drive away. Mains water, electricity, gas and drainage are connected to the property.
