Cheddington Road, Pitstone, Buckinghamshire LU7

Set on the edge of Pitstone Green, this handsome five bedroom home tells a story of design-led transformation and enduring quality. Meticulously reimagined by its current owners, the beautifully appointed detached house offers a compelling blend of contemporary craftsmanship and timeless charm, arranged over two spacious, light-filled floors.

From the moment you enter, the attention to detail is immediately apparent. The crisp geometry of the Karndean herringbone flooring leads through a broad, welcoming hallway, where eye-catching black metal glazed double doors mark each threshold with an architectural flourish.

To the front, the formal dining room sets the tone for elegant hosting. A panelled feature wall adds depth and texture, while a bay window draws in natural light. A fitted drinks cabinet, including  sink and wine fridge, offers a nod to candlelit indulgence, without ever losing its sense of refinement.

To the rear, the heart of the home unfolds in the expansive kitchen and breakfast room. At its centre, a beautifully appointed kitchen, crafted around calacatta quartz worktops, offers both form and function, with a suite of premium appliances including a Bora induction hob with integral extraction, Neff ovens and a Perrin & Rowe aged brass tap over a traditional butler's sink. A huge central island anchors the space, drenched in light thanks to an atrium roof positioned above. Another set of black metal glazed double doors connects the space to the garden, drawing the outside in. Just off the kitchen, a separate utility room adds considered practicality,

The sitting room is a masterstroke in sophistication. Light pours in, illuminating the stone fireplace that cradles the wood-burning stove - an elemental focal point that brings a sense of groundedness to the room. In a quieter corner of the house, a family room doubles as a library; its open fireplace offering further warmth and retreat. A ground floor shower room and integral garage complete the lower level.

Upstairs, the home continues its narrative of comfort and poise. The principal bedroom is generous, its en suite finished with a marble-topped vanity and walk-in rainfall shower; spaces where both material and proportion have been thoughtfully curated. Bedroom two also benefits from its own beautifully appointed en suite, while the remaining rooms share a modern family bathroom. The front bedrooms all benefit from views across farmland opposite.

Externally, the rear garden extends some 120ft and offers a gentle continuation of the home’s ethos: open, mature and quietly productive. A large lawn is edged by established planting and a well-tended vegetable patch, while a stone patio provides the ideal backdrop for summer evenings. To the front, a traditional five-bar gate opens to a gravelled driveway with ample space for multiple vehicles and access to the oversized integral garage. In all, the plot measures approximately a third-acre.

Braemar is a home where architecture and atmosphere coalesce. A place designed to elevate daily life; a wonderful family home built to be lived in and loved.
