Property description

A Grade II listed four bedroom house believed to date back to the 15th century with character features, a country garden and an elevated location overlooking the lower village green in the village of Cuddington.

Originally thought to be three separate dwellings the cottage has approximately 2,100 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation with a front garden landscaped to flow into the secluded, mature south facing garden. On the ground floor there is an entrance vestibule which leads to a reception hall. There are three further separate reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room and a cloakroom. There are four first floor bedrooms accessed via two staircases to separate landings which each lead to two bedrooms and a bathroom. In addition to the established cottage gardens, the property retains period features, including beams and fireplaces, and wooden flooring. These features have been blended with contemporary bathrooms and a fully refitted contemporary kitchen with a door into a dual aspect breakfast room with views across the gardens. Worthy of note is the fact that the property had extensive restoration work carried out in 2020/21, with the thatch redone in 2024.

Ground Floor

The reception hall has flagstone flooring, an original feature fireplace, a staircase to the first floor and doors to the kitchen via a rear lobby, and the dual aspect dining room. Wood flooring continues from the dining room through an opening to the sitting room which has an inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, and a window seat to the rear. A door leads to a side lobby which has the second staircase, and access to the cloakroom and utility room. The bespoke fitted kitchen has granite work surfaces, stone flooring, appliances including an electric oven, a combination oven, a gas hob, and a dishwasher and there is space for a fridge/freezer.

Outside

The property is approached by a pedestrian path off Lower Church Street which leads to a courtyard area and side access to the secluded rear garden which is a particular feature of the property and measures approximately 80 ft. deep by 85 ft. wide. This mature garden is laid predominantly to lawn with established shrub and flower borders, a vegetable garden and a paved patio with space for tables and chairs for al fresco entertaining. There is also a brick outhouse and shed, plus a greenhouse. The two garages are located on Frog Lane, and there is also on-street parking on Lower Green.

Situation and Schooling

The property is within a few minutes' walk of amenities in the village of Cuddington which include a post office, a village store, a hair salon, The Crown public house/restaurant, a tennis club, a cricket club and a Church of England primary school which is rated good by Ofsted. Aylesbury grammar schools are within 7 miles and Ashfold Private School in Dorton is 6 miles.
