Property description

A Grade II listed 19th century three bedroom cottage built by Hannah de Rothschild and set in private gardens with a view of the Chiltern escarpment from the main bedroom.

The property was built in 1876 and extended in 2004. It is in an elevated position and is part of a collection of Rothschild cottages that surround the recreation ground in Wingrave village. Tucked behind mature hedging and shrubs, the property is accessed via a pathway to a gate opening to a secluded plot which includes a landscaped garden with a lawned area surrounded by specimen trees and paved patios and seating areas. The ground floor has an entrance hall with access to the kitchen/breakfast room, and a three piece shower room. The two reception rooms both have views of the garden and feature fireplaces with decorative tiled inserts. The sitting room is dual aspect and a glazed internal door links it to the dining/family room to maximise the natural light in that room as well. The dining/family room has stairs to the first floor which has three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The kitchen/breakfast room has a comprehensive range of full height, wall and base units, with an integral eye level oven/grill, and a range style cooker with triple ovens and ceramic hob with a tiled splashback and a stainless steel extractor over. The stainless steel sink has an Insinkerator 4-in-1 kitchen tap which provides standard hot and cold water, as well as filtered boiling water and filtered chilled water.

First Floor

The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, as well as eaves storage and a corner store cupboard. The two further bedrooms overlook the rear and side of the property, and one of them has a fitted double wardrobe. The four piece family bathroom includes a freestanding bath with a shower attachment, and a separate shower cubicle with sliding glass doors. The principal bedroom has views across the Chiltern escarpment.
