Property description

A Grade II listed, 17th-century timber framed under a tiled roof detached cottage with a garden and a separate outbuilding in the heart of Cuddington village.

This period detached cottage has approximately 1,970 sq. ft. of accommodation. It is positioned on the corner of Frog Lane and Holly Tree Lane, and set within mature gardens with a private courtyard at the front and with a separate outbuilding. The ground floor comprises three reception rooms including a sitting room, a dining room, and a study/snug. There is also a kitchen and utility room. On the first floor are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an en suite bathroom. Bedroom four has a door to an additional room which could be used as a dressing room. There is also a separate w/c on the first floor. The property retains many original features, such as exposed external and internal beams and open fireplaces. It is in need of some modernisation and is being sold with no upper chain.

Accommodation

All three reception rooms lead into one another. They have exposed beams and are dual aspect with leaded windows on both sides of the house. The study/snug has a gothic-shaped window at the front and an open brick fireplace. The sitting room has a larger, original open brick fireplace with a lintel above. French doors open to the front and a door to the back. The dining room has a latch and brace door accessing the kitchen and a built-in storage cupboard.

Outside

At the front of the property is a courtyard leading to a detached, thatched, outbuilding which requires structural upgrades, but could create either garaging, a workshop or further accommodation. The rear garden is laid to lawn and interspersed with numerous conifers, which could be removed to create a more open garden.

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.
