With far-reaching views across the Chilterns, this beautifully maintained 1930s bungalow enjoys a wonderfully peaceful setting. Indeed, both its position and outlook are defining qualities, creating a sense of rural seclusion that belies the convenience of several nearby market towns.
Thoughtfully arranged to maximise its connection with the landscape beyond, the bedrooms are positioned to the front of the plan, allowing the principal living spaces to fully embrace the views across the garden and surrounding countryside.
The principal bedroom is a generously proportioned room with fitted wardrobes extending across one wall. Two further double bedrooms retain their original fireplaces, lending a subtle reminder of the property’s 1930s origins. A bright family bathroom, fitted with both a bath and separate walk-in shower, serves the accommodation.
To the rear of the house, the living spaces unfold across a series of light-filled rooms designed to take full advantage of the setting. The sitting room is generously proportioned, while the adjoining dining room is particularly bright and inviting, enjoying underfloor heating and extensive glazing that draws natural light deep into the space while framing views of the garden beyond.
The kitchen and breakfast room is equally well considered, offering generous proportions together with a range of fitted wall and base units, integrated appliances and ample space for informal dining. A separate utility room provides additional practicality and space for laundry appliances.
While the accommodation is spacious and well balanced, it is the setting that truly distinguishes the property.
Outside, the gardens are undoubtedly one of its defining features. Extending to approximately 120ft in length, they unfold as a wonderfully private and established outdoor space bordered by mature hedging and opening directly onto the surrounding fields beyond. From the rear boundary, the landscape stretches away across open pasture and towards the wooded hills of the Chilterns beyond, creating a constantly changing backdrop through the seasons. A substantial summer house provides excellent flexibility as a home office, studio or garden retreat.
To the front, a gravel driveway provides parking for several vehicles, while the overall plot extends to approximately 0.2 acre.
Enjoying a wonderful position within the Buckinghamshire countryside, St. Leonards is remarkably well connected. Tring, Wendover, Berkhamsted and Chesham are all within easy reach, offering an excellent range of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. Rail services from Tring and Berkhamsted provide access to London Euston, while Wendover offers services to London Marylebone and Chesham connects directly to London via the Metropolitan Line.
Homes such as this are increasingly difficult to find. Combining generous single-storey living with mature gardens, uninterrupted country views and a setting that feels immersed in the landscape, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a quieter pace of life without sacrificing connectivity. Whether watching the seasons change across the fields beyond or enjoying the peace and privacy of the garden, this is a home whose greatest luxury is its relationship with the surrounding countryside.
