Property description

A three double bedroom character cottage, with front and rear gardens and parking located in the conservation area of Princes Risborough town centre.

The property has recently undergone a programme of renovation including new plastering, re-roofing and new windows and doors. It is believed to be an old farm from the 17th century, and is a collection of small agricultural units which were amalgamated over many years to create the house as it stands today. As the name suggests, more recently it was a Garden Centre. Character features include exposed beams and brickwork, original stone and oak flooring, bay windows and a feature fireplace. The accommodation - in excess of 1,600 sq. ft. - includes a reception hall, a ground floor bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and an en suite wet room, a hallway with a bespoke oak staircase, a 20 ft. long sitting room, a kitchen/dining room and a utility room. There is also a separate garden room/studio. On the first floor there is a spacious landing which could be used as a home office. The master bedroom has an en suite shower room, there is a further bedroom and a three piece bathroom.

Reception Rooms

The reception hall has stone flooring and exposed beams and timbers. The dual aspect sitting room has a fireplace with an inset gas fire, original oak beams, a solid oak floor and a bay window to the rear. The dining area is open plan to the kitchen with terracotta flooring throughout. There is space for a table to seat six to eight people, and a door to the side.

There are wraparound gardens to the rear and side with a lawned area, a paved area, raised vegetable bed and mature trees and roses.
