Description
Positioned on the fringe of the ever-popular village of Buckden, Hardonian House is an individually built, executive detached family home offering over 2,300 sq. ft. of beautifully finished living space. With its striking blend of traditional architecture and modern materials, the property delivers both instant kerb appeal and lasting comfort. A handsome oak-framed entrance porch, crisp brickwork and black timber cladding set the tone for the high specification throughout.
While the peaceful setting and expansive gravel driveway, accessed via a private bridge, offer a sense of space and privacy rarely found in new homes. Surrounded by countryside and with far-reaching rural views.
Ground Floor
The home opens into a wide and welcoming entrance hall, flooded with light and finished with oversized porcelain floor tiles that continue throughout the principal ground-floor spaces.
At the heart of the home lies a vast, open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, fitted with a bespoke kitchen that includes sleek quartz worktops, a central island with breakfast bar seating, integrated Neff appliances and a large picture window overlooking the frontage. There’s a discreet utility room with separate access, ideal for muddy boots or unloading shopping.
To the rear, the kitchen flows naturally into the family living space, where bi-folding doors extend the full width of the space, opening directly onto the paved terrace and south-facing rear garden. The transition between indoors and out is seamless, offering an ideal space for entertaining during warmer months.
A large, dual-aspect sitting room also occupies the rear of the house, with its own set of full-width bi-folding doors opening onto the patio and garden. The room’s generous proportions and high-quality flooring make it both elegant and practical for everyday use. At the front of the house, a separate study offers a dedicated space for home working or quiet retreat, and a contemporary cloakroom completes the downstairs accommodation.
First Floor
A central staircase leads up to a galleried landing, where the sense of light and space continues. The principal bedroom spans the entire depth of the house, with ample built-in wardrobes and a luxurious en suite shower room. The second bedroom also enjoys its own en suite and generous proportions, while two further double bedrooms share a well-appointed family bathroom, complete with freestanding bath and separate shower. All bedrooms feature deep windows, premium carpet underfoot, and far-reaching views to either side of the property.
Garden
Hardonian House is approached via a private bridge over a small culvert, leading to a large gravelled driveway with ample space for multiple vehicles and a formal turning circle. A detached garage with remote-controlled roller door provides further storage and parking.
To the rear, the garden has been thoughtfully landscaped, with a broad, paved terrace running the full width of the property and a generous lawn enclosed by new timber fencing. The garden is south-facing and private, offering plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining and children to play. Uplighters along the exterior brickwork and porch add a warm, welcoming glow as dusk falls.
