Property description

A Grade II Listed thatched five bedroom detached cottage and a separate four bedroom Scandinavian style Lodge House with off street parking and an enclosed garden.

Located within a 10 minute walk of a mainline railway station with services to Euston taking only 30 minutes, the cottage, which is believed to date back to the 15th century, has many period features including latch doors, exposed ceiling and wall timbers and Inglenook fireplaces. There are three separate reception rooms in addition to a kitchen/dining room which includes a four oven Aga. The ground floor also has a shower room, a cloakroom and a utility room and there are quarry and terracotta tiled floors throughout. On the first floor there are five bedrooms which are accessed via two staircases. The main bedroom has a dressing room and a three piece en suite shower room. One of the other bedrooms has a staircase to a loft store room.

Lodge House

The Lodge provides annexe accommodation within the grounds. It is built of Cedar wood and has versatile accommodation over two floors. The ground floor has a sitting room, a shower room and four further rooms, three of which are currently used as bedrooms. The first floor is accessed via an external staircase and is more open plan. There is a sitting room, a double bedroom, a shower room and several eaves storage cupboards.

Outside

A five bar gate opens to a gravelled driveway at the side which provides parking for two cars and access to the Lodge. The front has low level box hedging, a small lawn and mature shrub beds. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees. There is a brick patio area.

Situation and Schooling

The property is situated in a Conservation Area on a no through road, adjacent to open countryside, with the riding stables of the Rothschild Ascott Estate on the same road. Leighton Buzzard (1.5 miles) has a range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, public houses, schooling for all ages and a mainline railway station within 10 minutes' walk with services to Euston taking 30 minutes. The property is in catchment for Aylesbury grammar schools.
