Fishponds Situated in the idyllic Thames-side village of South Stoke (www.southstoke.org.uk), which is in the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Fishponds is ideally placed for excellent communications, schooling and amenities. The property has been improved and extended by the current owners over time with an emphasis on retaining the period charm of the property. A superb kitchen/breakfast room has been hand built with great care and features wooden units with traditional joinery, a large centre island, slate work surfaces throughout and a dark blue four oven Aga. A more recent addition to the house is a lovely orangery which links the study/snug to the main living area of the house creating a very natural flow to the ground floor. The Orangery also enjoys wonderful views out onto the formal gardens and woodlands. The large dining room also looks out over the formal gardens and is a very light room. There is plenty of space for entertaining and the dining room also leads through to the Drawing room. A vaulted ceiling light floods the main landing, study and dressing room with natural light. The Master bedroom suite occupies one side of the house and benefits from a spacious en suite with separate bath and shower as well as a dressing room. A good sized guest suite enjoys views over the grounds and to the open countryside beyond. Integrated within the property is a self-contained annexe perfect for an au pair, housekeeper or relative. There is an attractive timber framed double garage with two additional car ports, a workshop area and a small dovecote is set on the roof. The property is accessed along its own drive through twin, electrically operated 5 bar gates. The gravel driveway opens up in front of the attractive garaging, there is also plenty of parking space for other vehicles. Delightful grounds surround the house and are superbly maintained. There are several distinct areas to the gardens with a good formal lawn and partially walled garden surrounded by well stocked flower borders as well as an area of managed woodland, paddock and animal-proof vegetable garden and tennis court. The summer house which sits to the south of the property has beautiful views over the manicured lawn to the woodland and has planning permission to be replaced by a single garden dwelling. There are two well-maintained large paddocks with field shelters to the North West of the property which total over 4 acres. Within 200 metres is the River Thames which provides wonderful riverside walks, along the Ridgeway National Trail.
