Property description

An extended and updated, brick and flint, three bedroom detached cottage with a detached home office and workshop in Longwick village.

The property has been in the same family for almost 100 years and a two storey extension was added in 2010 by the current owner, doubling its size. This included a fully boarded loft area and brick and flint detailing to sympathetically blend with its original elevations. Other enhancements include, full rewiring including structured cabling with internet points and sockets to each room, 4kw photo voltaic array roof panels, a modern fitted kitchen/dining room with underfloor heating and solid oak, ledged and braced doors, architraves and skirting boards throughout. There is also a detached workshop from Dunster House with power and wired internet and a garden room which is currently used as a home office and also has power and wired internet.

Kitchen/Dining Room

The kitchen has a range of solid oak units with granite worktops incorporating a ceramic sink unit with a mixer tap, and a breakfast bar seating four. There is also Indian sandstone flooring with underfloor heating, an integrated Neff dishwasher and a built-in storage cupboard.

Outside

The property has vehicular and pedestrian gated access and there is ample driveway parking. Gates either side of the house lead to the south facing, landscaped rear garden which has an area of lawn, a decked terrace leading off the kitchen/dining room and landscaped paths and raised beds. There is also an original well and a removable sun shade over the decking area.

Situation

Longwick has a village hall which hosts a pre-school, a dance school and the cricket club which plays on the village playing field. There is a range of groups including a Women’s Institute and a Tea at Three club. Village amenities include a post office, a petrol station and the family run Red Lion public house. Longwick Pre-School and Longwick Church of England Combined School are both within walking distance. The property is in catchment for Aylesbury’s grammar schools.
