Property description

A Victorian brick under clay tile five bedroom detached family home situated at the edge of Oving with far reaching country views.

The property dates from 1861 with later additions and combines original features, such as gothic windows and exposed structural timbers, with in excess of 3,000 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation. In an elevated position, it has gardens on three sides and far-reaching views. The property has four reception rooms with an open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining room with a galleried dining area, and a 26 ft. by 18 ft. sitting room. There are four first floor double bedrooms, and a guest suite on the ground floor (including bedroom 5). There are two shower rooms, one on the ground floor, and two bathrooms, one en suite. The property layout lends itself to creating a separate annexe on the ground floor. There are mature and private gardens with open country views and a double detached garage.

Ground Floor

The quarry tiled entrance hall accesses the utility room and the galleried dining room, which is open plan into the kitchen and has a staircase to the landing. The kitchen has a breakfast bar and integral appliances including a double fridge/freezer, two ovens and a dishwasher. A door leads to the sitting room with patio doors to the front and the rear courtyard gardens. An inner hall has three further rooms and a shower room - an area that could become an annexe.

First Floor

At the heart of the house is the galleried landing from the dining room, which leads to all four double bedrooms. Bedroom one has a vaulted, beamed ceiling, a walk-in wardrobe, an en suite shower room and a gothic arched French window to an enclosed balcony. The three other bedrooms are served by two shower rooms.

Outside

To the west of the house the main garden flanks open countryside, to the south is a split level garden with beds and paths contained by mature brick or stone boundary walls. The detached double garage has twin remote controlled up and over doors, power and lighting. There is also driveway parking for four cars.

Situation and Schooling

Oving is surrounded by countryside and footpaths. The property is within walking distance of The Black Boy restaurant, the village hall, tennis club and playing fields. Whitchurch (1.4 miles) has a Supermart/post office, combined school, public house and a beauty salon. Aylesbury (6.5 miles) has shopping, social and sports facilities, restaurants, a theatre, schools, a college, a university, and a mainline station.
