Property description

A refurbished and extended four bedroom end of terrace cottage with two receptions rooms, three bathrooms, front and rear gardens, a garage and store with a paddock in a village in the Chilterns AONB.

Converted from a dairy and subsequently extended, the property provides over 2000 sq. ft. of accommodation. Sympathetically refurbished, there are ledge and brace doors, wooden casement windows, natural floor finishes, and a woodburning stove. Set over two floors, the front door opens into a reception hall with storage, a cloakroom and glazed doors to a family room/study and an over 29 ft. by 15 ft. kitchen dining room. Overlooking the rear garden, this open plan room has bi-folding doors to the outside seating areas including a decked terrace with a pergola. The kitchen itself benefits from bespoke, solid wooden base and wall units, complemented by Quartz worktops and integrated appliances. Off the kitchen, a utility room/pantry, has shelving for storage and plumbing for appliances. The over 22 ft. by 17 ft. sitting room has two windows overlooking the front garden, a brick fireplace with a wood burning stove and stairs to the first floor with a cupboard beneath.

First Floor

On the first floor, the dual aspect principal bedroom overlooks the garden and the paddock beyond and has a dressing area with built-in wardrobes. The en suite bathroom has a freestanding contemporary oval bath, a matching basin on a vanity unit, and a WC. Bedroom two overlooks the front garden and has an en suite bathroom with a claw footed, roll top bath, and a traditional pedestal basin and WC. The remaining two bedrooms, one with fitted cupboards, are served by a four piece family bathroom with a contemporary oval bath and a separate double walk-in shower.

Outside

In a picturesque setting, the house is approached via a gravel driveway which passes the side of the house leading to the garage and a paddock at the rear, which is enclosed by fencing and hedging. The front garden has been recently re-turfed and is newly fenced. To the rear, the garden has views over the paddock, and is mainly laid to lawn and bounded by a curved brick and flint wall or fencing. As well as the decked terrace, a gravelled seating area for outdoor entertainment spans the rear of the house.
