A modern, six bedroom house backing onto woodland with a paved drive, double garage and landscaped garden in a village location. The village of Aspley Guise takes part of its name from the Anglo Saxon for a clearing in the aspens, and from the 14th-century overlords - the de Guys. The property is built on the Greensand Ridge, an area of free draining sand deposited in the Cretaceous period, which disposed it historically to forestry. The house replaces offices, previously in parkland belonging to the large neighbouring house. The site slopes gently up towards wooded Aspley Heath behind, and includes mature trees from the original parkland. The imposing property was built as a modern family home and includes technical innovations that streamline domestic life. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall, a sitting room and a kitchen/breakfast room, which is open plan to a day room and the dining room. There is also a family room, a utility room, and a cloakroom. Arranged over the first and second floors are six bedrooms, two with en suite shower rooms, as well as a family bathroom and an office.
