A Masterpiece of Sustainable Luxury & Panoramic Countryside Views While Less Than 30 Minutes Commute to Central London <br/> <br/>The Concept: Scandinavian Soul, Architectural Boldness <br/>Set on a peaceful "hillock" at the southern edge of the Chiltern Hills AONB, Fairydell Close is a striking, design-led residence that harmonizes cutting-edge technology with calming Scandinavian aesthetics. Completed in 2023, this stunning home is clad in burnt Siberian larch, featuring a silhouette that is both unadorned and arresting. Designed for "inverted living" to maximize its elevated position, the home offers a seamless connection to the rolling Green Belt countryside through floor-to-ceiling glazing by XP Glide and Velfac. <br/> <br/>Unrivaled Environmental Performance <br/>This is a true "home of the future," achieving a rare EPC A rating. Built with ICF construction and focused on Passivhaus principles, the property utilizes southerly orientation for natural solar gain, while a first-floor overhang protects the interior from summer heat. <br/> <br/>•Energy Efficiency: A 5.6KW rooftop solar array (registered for grid sell-back) and an efficient Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) fuel the underfloor heating throughout. <br/>•Eco-Innovation: The home is topped with a biodiversity-enhancing green roof and operates with a highly airtight, insulated envelope. <br/> <br/>The Tour: Refined Interiors & Smart Living <br/> <br/>The interior palette is one of disciplined minimalism—white walls, shadow-gap detailing, and Karndean flooring—allowing the landscape to remain the focal point. <br/>•The Heart of the Home: The upper level features a voluminous open-plan kitchen and dining area. A monochrome kitchen with Miele appliances and quartz worktops centers the space, while enormous sliding doors lead to a south-facing balcony. <br/>•Technological Sophistication: A fully integrated Control4 automation system manages lighting, multi-room audio, security, and heating via Heatmiser controls. <br/>•Versatile Accommodation: The layout offers five generous bedrooms (with flexibility for up to six). The lower level houses two principal suites, both featuring Duravit sanitary ware and direct access to a garden terrace overlooking the 0.3-acre grounds. <br/> <br/>Location: Rural Tranquility, Urban Connection <br/>Despite its secluded, gated setting shared with just five other unique homes, Fairydell Close is perfectly positioned for the modern commuter and those seeking a lifestyle of wellness. <br/>•Commuting: Reach London Euston in 27 minutes via Hemel Hempstead station (2 miles) or London Marylebone in 29 minutes via the nearby Metropolitan line at Chorleywood. <br/>•Leisure & Schools: Moments from the Michelin-starred Artichoke, the renowned Grove Hotel & Spa, and Centurion Golf Club. The area is served by elite schooling, including Chesham Grammar and Westbrook Hay. <br/>•Travel: Heathrow Airport is accessible in 30 minutes, with the M1 and M25 junctions just moments away. <br/> <br/>Key Features: <br/>•Chain Free with the remainder of a 10-year building warranty. <br/>•Private gated driveway with two parking spaces and EV charging. <br/>•Landscaped 0.3-acre plot with fragrant borders of lavender and jasmine.
