Property description

A Grade II listed five bedroom property with over 2,740 sq. ft of accommodation and 0.52 acres of grounds which back onto open countryside with far reaching views across Aylesbury Vale.

The property is in the Whitchurch conservation area and is within walking distance of local amenities. It retains many period features including open fire places, exposed beams, and a cellar. The ground floor has four reception areas, an office for working from home, a garden room, and a conservatory. The ground floor also has a kitchen/breakfast room which has a range of fitted units and an Aga. An inner hall outside the kitchen has access to stairs down to the cellar which provides additional space. The first floor is in two sections accessed via separate staircases and has five bedrooms, a shower room and a family bathroom. At the rear a patio spans the width of the property and a wide brick path leads down between formal lawned areas with established borders. Beyond this garden, lawns follow the natural downward slope with numerous mature trees and open westerly facing views. The detached garage and parking are at the end of the terrace next to number 43.

Reception Rooms

The three principal reception rooms are at the front of the property. There are two interlinked sitting rooms, one with a bay window to the front and the other with a feature fireplace with a log burning stove. The dining room also has a bay window. At the rear of the property, with garden and country views, there is a family room, the office, a conservatory, and a garden room which has a door to the garden and space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Bedrooms

Two staircases lead to the bedrooms. Stairs from the inner hall lead to a landing with access to three bedrooms which have windows to the front, and a three piece shower room. The second staircase from the family room gives access to two further bedrooms, both with built-in storage, and a three piece family bathroom.
