Property description

A Grade II listed 18th century brick under tile four bedroom character house with a private driveway approach, a double garage and country views within walking distance of village amenities.

The property is a converted barn set well back from the road in a secluded location on the edge of Stone village. The detached brick built double garage, and parking for two cars, is at the entrance to the plot and the gravelled private driveway then continues through double gates to the front of the property where there is additional parking. The drive is bordered by the front garden which surrounds a natural pond. There is a separate garden at the side of the house which includes a decked terrace with space for tables and chairs for al fresco entertaining with views over the rest of the garden and open countryside adjoining. The gardens have numerous flower and shrub beds and a variety of fruit trees which include apple, pear, plum and fig. At the rear there is a walled decked courtyard with a brick built barbeque area and space for seating. The courtyard gives access to a timber built outbuilding which is currently used as an office.

Ground Floor

A canopied porch provides shelter over a wooden front door leading into an open entrance hall which has a staircase to the first floor, a storage cupboard, a door to the rear courtyard garden and doors into the sitting room, dining room, cloakroom and kitchen. The dual aspect sitting room has a feature fireplace, and French style doors to the side garden and country views. The dining room is also dual aspect with windows overlooking the courtyard and side garden. The kitchen has tiled flooring, a range of wall and base units and a 90cm range cooker. Triple aspect windows allow plenty of natural light.

First Floor

The first floor landing has an airing cupboard, a window to the rear and access to four bedrooms and a three piece family bathroom which has a bath with a shower over, and a WC and washbasin set into an array of vanity storage. All the bedrooms have part vaulted ceilings and three of them have feature exposed beams. There are three double bedrooms which all have built in wardrobes, and a single bedroom which is currently used as a home office.

Situation and Schooling

The property is located 5 minutes' walk from the amenities in the village which include a shop with a post office, two pubs and an infant school. The property is also in catchment for the grammar schools in Aylesbury. Mainline railway stations with services to Marylebone are located in Aylesbury (3.1 miles) and Haddenham (4.9 miles).
