Property description

A Grade II listed 17th-century part thatched three bedroom detached cottage, retaining original features but refurbished to a high standard with 1,424 sq. ft. of contemporary accommodation and a private rear garden.

In the centre of a village in a conservation area, Yew Tree Cottage overlooks the green. The period property has been extended over the years and has a mix of contemporary and character features including vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and ledge and brace oak doors. On the ground floor there are two separate reception areas and a connecting kitchen and breakfast room on two levels, both with French doors to the garden, creating an open plan entertaining space. There are three double bedrooms leading off the first floor landing, all with fitted cupboards, a family shower room, as well as a partly panelled bathroom on the ground floor with a free-standing roll top bath and authentic beams, as in two of the bedrooms. The original adjacent barn style garage provides potential for a home office/studio, subject to the necessary consents, and the south facing rear garden is private and enclosed. (The Aga with an electric module within the kitchen is for sale by separate negotiation.)

Accommodation

Steps lead up to the front door which opens into the entrance hall, which then accesses the triple aspect sitting room, the family bathroom and the dining room, continuing to the rest remainder of the ground floor. The triple aspect sitting room has a glazed door to the garden and an inglenook fireplace. The dining room, breakfast room and snug all have oak flooring, and there are double French doors in both the snug and the breakfast room leading to the garden and maximising the natural light. Stairs rise to the three double bedrooms and a three piece shower room. The principal bedroom is triple aspect, while bedrooms two and three are dual aspect; all three have fitted wardrobes.

Outside

A paved seating area at the front, enclosed by low walls and shrubs, is reached via a timber gate. The south facing lawned rear garden has an original cobbled area and is enclosed by timber fencing. There is a vine-covered pergola over a decked seating area, flower and shrub borders, mature trees, and a brick well with a tiled roof. A concealed storage shed, with power and lighting, has space for a tumble dryer.

Situation and Schooling

An historic village in Aylesbury Vale, Weedon is a thriving community and has won Best Kept Village in Buckinghamshire several times. The property is within walking distance of the locally-owned Five Elms public house, run by a ‘MasterChef the Professionals’ semi-finalist. Weedon also has a Methodist church and a children's playground. The property is in catchment for Whitchurch Combined School (2.8 miles), and for three Aylesbury grammar schools. Nearby independent schooling includes Swanbourne House, Ashfold School, and Stowe School. Whitchurch also has a Supermart/post office, a public house, a church, and a beauty salon.
