3,270 sq ft Gated Village Home | Vaulted Principal Suite | South-West Garden Backing onto Countryside | Conservation Area Setting
Tucked away at the end of the private and rarely available Preslent Close, widely regarded as one of the village’s most desirable locations, this impressive five-bedroom detached residence occupies a secluded gated corner plot within the Shillington Conservation Area and offers approximately 3,270 sq ft of accommodation, including an oversized double garage.
The property enjoys a particularly special outlook across open countryside towards All Saints Church – the remarkable Saxon landmark described by Sir John Betjeman as “The Cathedral of the Chilterns” – with far-reaching views towards the Chiltern Hills beyond.
Opportunities to acquire a home of this scale and position within the Shillington Conservation Area are rarely available, particularly one enjoying uninterrupted countryside views in such a peaceful village setting — reflected by the fact that the current owner has enjoyed living here for over 31 years.
