SITuaTIONWoodside House is a beautifully presented Grade ii listed property originally the central part of a large country house owned by the duchess of Bedford. The property has been sympathetically extended and refurbished by the current owners to form a spacious family home retaining much of the original character internally and externally.

Woodside House is a mid eighteenth century property situated in the beautiful Chiltern village of Chenies on the east side of south Bucks near the border of Hertfordshire. it nestles in an unrivalled position with the River Chess and in a designated Area of outstanding Natural Beauty. The village offers a primary school, cricket club, st Michaels Church and Grade i listed Manor House plus the public houses of the Red Lion and Bedford Arms. Chorleywood (1.88 miles) and nearby Amersham (4.5 miles) offer good local shopping, restaurants and the food halls of Waitrose and Marks & spencer can be found at Rickmansworth and Amersham. Chorleywood and Rickmansworth offer the Metropolitan Line service to London Baker street and The City and the Chiltern Turbo to Marylebone. The M25 (3.5 miles) can be accessed at Junction 18 with its connections to the M1, M4, M40 and airports. NB all distances approximate.

There is an excellent selection of schools both state and private within the wider area including York House, Royal Masonic, dr Challoner’s and st Clement danes school. The area retains the grammar school system. Local recreation facilities include golf at Moor Park and the renowned Grove at Watford and a variety of leading restaurants in nearby Amersham.

The hall has doors to the principal reception rooms. The elegant drawing room is double aspect and features a lovely open fireplace with carved surround and fitted shelving to the sides. There are original window shutters, panelling and cornicing. The orangery is panelled and overlooks the formal front garden which can be accessed by way of triple double doors to form an open summer living area.
