Property description

A period semi-detached cottage with a garden, off street parking and a detached garage and workshop, in the village of Bledlow.

The property was built in the 1890s and has brick elevations under a pitch tiled roof and provides 1,250 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors. The front door is at the side of the property and opens to a porch with an area for hanging coats and a two piece cloakroom. The porch leads to a kitchen which is open plan to the dining room. Both areas have bay windows to the front and the dining room has the original brick built fireplace. The sitting room is dual aspect with French doors overlooking the garden, and has an inglenook fireplace with a log burning stove. On the first floor the principal bedroom has a wall of built-in wardrobes and an en suite wet room. There are two further double bedrooms, a home office, and a family bathroom. A hatch and retractable ladder from the landing give access to the loft which spans the length of the house, is boarded and has a Velux window. It provides scope for conversion subject to obtaining any necessary planning permissions.

Kitchen/Dining Room

The kitchen has French Chic painted Shaker style units and a Sandyford oil fired range cooker which also provides hot water and heating. In addition to the bay window at the front, there is also a casement window above the sink which overlooks the garden. Appliances include an integrated dishwasher and there is space for a washing machine and a fridge/freezer. Exposed Karndean wood flooring continues through a wide opening into the dining room which has space for a table seating up to 10 people.

Outside

The front garden is enclosed by a wooden picket fence and hedging. A double gated gravel driveway at the side of the property provides parking for multiple cars in addition to the detached L shaped garage and workshop. The rear garden is principally laid to lawn with established flower beds and borders. There is a decked area for al fresco entertaining at the rear of the house. A section of the garden is part held under annual licence from Bucks County Council.

Situation and Schooling

The property is on the edge of Bledlow village which has a village hall, a parish church, the Lions of Bledlow public house, and a cricket club. There is also The Lyde Garden - a privately owned aquatic garden - and access to the Ridgeway for country walks and the Phoenix Trail. There is a regular bus/rail link service from Bledlow village hall to Princes Risborough station. The property is in catchment for grammar schools in Aylesbury.
