7 bedroom detached house for sale

Set behind electric gates on Nightingales Lane, Glenwood is a beautifully light and spacious family home with an impressive glazed orangery and a secluded south-east-facing garden. From relaxed breakfasts around the kitchen island to summer gatherings on the terrace, the house offers an inviting setting for everyday life and entertaining. Approximately 3,279 sq ft of accommodation, excluding the double garage, is arranged over three floors. Seven bedrooms, four bath/shower rooms and a choice of reception spaces provide flexibility for growing children, visiting guests and working from home. A HOME DESIGNED FOR LIVING AND ENTERTAINING The entrance hall leads to a welcoming sitting room with a stone fireplace and gas fire. Glazed doors connect this space to the orangery, creating distinct yet connected areas for relaxing and spending time together. Large-format porcelain flooring gives the entrance hall, kitchen and orangery an elegant, cohesive finish. The orangery is a particular highlight. Full-height glazing and a striking roof lantern with self-cleaning glass bring in natural light, while sliding doors open onto the terrace and frame views across the garden. Heat-reflective glass and underfloor heating add to its comfort. The home’s Tado smart heating controls include a separate zone for the orangery, allowing its underfloor heating to be controlled independently. The adjoining kitchen/breakfast room combines hand-painted cabinetry, quartz worktops and a generous central island with breakfast bar, creating a sociable heart to the home. Extensive storage and preparation space are complemented by Miele appliances: two integrated dishwashers, an induction hob, an extractor, two ovens including a combination oven, and a warming drawer. A Fisher & Paykel American-style fridge freezer completes the kitchen. An adjoining laundry room with side access houses a gas boiler and provides space for two washing machines and a tumble dryer, making it particularly practical for a busy family home. A separate study and family room, both with oak flooring and views towards the front garden, offer useful space away from the main living areas. Full-fibre broadband (Openreach) and a backup Starlink satellite connection support home working and entertainment, while Cat 5 network cabling in every room provides wired connectivity for computers, smart TVs and other compatible devices. The family room offers a comfortable retreat or somewhere for children to make their own. RECENT IMPROVEMENTS AND MODERN COMFORT Premium Daikin air conditioning, installed in 2025 in the principal reception areas and four bedrooms, provides cooling during warmer months and heat-pump heating in colder weather for year-round comfort. New carpets were also fitted throughout in 2025, enhancing the fresh presentation of the home. SEVEN BEDROOMS AND FLEXIBLE ACCOMMODATION The first floor provides five bedrooms, including two with their own en-suite bath or shower rooms. The accommodation benefits from fitted wardrobe storage and a separate family bathroom with both a bath and a shower cubicle. One of the bedrooms is currently used as a second study. A spacious airing cupboard on the landing houses a large-capacity Megaflo hot-water cylinder, providing generous hot-water storage for a larger household. The second floor provides two further bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, together with a shower room. This additional accommodation offers flexibility for teenagers, overnight guests, hobbies or a home gym. PRIVATE GARDENS AND EXCELLENT PARKING The rear garden extends to approximately 125 feet in depth and enjoys a south-east-facing aspect. The paved terrace provides space for outdoor dining, overlooking a generous level lawn bordered by established hedging and mature planting. A mature oak tree and summerhouse towards the far end add character to this secluded setting, with room for children to play and adults to unwind. To the front, an electrically operated gate opens onto an extensive block-paved driveway with parking for approximately six to nine vehicles, in addition to the double garage. Landscaped planting, yew hedging and wrought-iron fencing create an attractive approach, while electrically operated garage doors and an EV charging point add everyday convenience. LOCATION Nightingales Lane is a highly regarded residential setting in Chalfont St Giles, offering access to the surrounding Chilterns countryside and nearby towns. The property is within the catchment areas for Dr Challoner’s High School for girls and Dr Challoner’s Grammar School for boys.
