Property description

A Grade II listed late 17th-century, four bedroom detached thatched cottage, with parking, a carport and established gardens, in a village location overlooking The Green in Oving.

This timber-framed property balances original period character with modern improvements which facilitate a contemporary lifestyle. The core living areas are centred around an over 17 ft. by nearly 15 ft. dual aspect sitting room, accessing the staircase, and a separate dining room, both showcasing brick inglenook open fireplaces and historic exposed timber ceiling beams. The home features a modern single storey, clay tiled extension with an open plan kitchen/breakfast room with two glazed right-angled walls and a vaulted lantern skylight that maximising the ingress of natural light to the breakfast area and fitted kitchen. The flexible layout includes three first-floor bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a ground-floor fourth bedroom. Outside, a separate outbuilding, totalling 490 sq. ft., provides additional space – currently a garden store and a studio – on each side of a sheltered carport.

Kitchen/Breakfast

Overlooking the rear garden, the contemporary kitchen is fitted with base and wall cabinetry and natural wooden worksurfaces. It transitions into a naturally well-lit area wrapped in glass, with room for a breakfast table under an architecturally designed lantern roof. This sympathetically considered open plan layout creates a fluid focus for family gatherings and casual entertaining, while striking a modern counterweight to the historic architecture. Steps from the breakfast area lead to the formal dining room.

Bedrooms

An original cottage door to the left of the sitting room fireplace opens to the staircase. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms alongside a four piece family bathroom. The principal bedroom and bedroom two are both dual aspect with vaulted ceilings and, like bedroom three, have exposed beams. A fourth bedroom with built-in storage and a shower room are situated on the ground floor.

Outside

The exterior spaces feature a mature and enclosed rear garden laid mostly to lawn with established planting and an outdoor seating terrace. Across the driveway, a stone and brick outbuilding incorporates a sheltered carport, an attached garden store, and a modern dual aspect studio measuring over 19 ft. by over 15 ft. with double doors. This detached studio space would be adaptable to a variety of lifestyles and could be repurposed as a home office, a fitness gym, or a hobby room.

Situation and Schooling

Oving has a pre-school/private nursery, a village hall, tennis courts, a children’s playground, a public house, and a church. Whitchurch is approximately 1 mile away and has a Supermart/post office, a combined school, a public house, and a farm shop. The town of Aylesbury (6 miles) has shopping, social and sports facilities, coffee shops, restaurants, the Waterside Theatre, schooling for all ages, including the Aylesbury Grammar Schools, a college, and a university campus.

Purchaser Compliance and Administration Fees

To comply with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, Michael Graham is legally mandated to conduct compulsory Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Customer Due Diligence (CDD) checks on all property buyers. While we do not charge a commission fee to the property vendor, a mandatory compliance and administration fee of £54.00 (inclusive of VAT) per person is payable by the purchaser(s).

This fee becomes payable upon an offer being accepted in principle and must be fully cleared before a Memorandum of Sale can be issued or solicitors instructed. The payment of this fee does not guarantee the completion of the transaction, and Michael Graham reserves the right to request further verification documentation to satisfy its statutory obligations.
