Property description

An extended and updated 1950s four bedroom semi-detached home with off street parking, and a garden wrapping around three sides, overlooking open countryside in the hamlet of Marsh.

The brick under tile house has approximately 2,130 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors. Sheltered by a storm porch, the front door opens to a chequer tiled entrance hall with an understairs cupboard and doors to a separate study and a sitting room with a walk-in canted bay window at the front, a woodburning stove, and alcove shelving. The rear of the property has been extended to create an open plan kitchen/dining/family room with a roof lantern and bi-fold doors to the garden. Off the kitchen, via a folding oak door, is a boot room with a Velux window and a glazed exterior door, accessing a utility area and a cloakroom. A separate 21 ft. long play/hobby room, also with a roof lantern, overlooks the garden. Leading off the first floor landing, the triple aspect principal bedroom suite has an en suite shower room, a dressing area with fitted wardrobes, and views over the rear garden and fields beyond. There are three further double bedrooms, and a three piece bathroom.

Kitchen/Dining/Family Room

Open plan with the dual aspect dining and family areas, the kitchen area is fitted with a range of two-tone Shaker style units with a wood effect worksurface (echoing the floor) and upstands incorporating a ceramic sink. A ceramic hob is fitted into the central island, with breakfast seating for two. Integrated appliances include double eye level ovens, a wine fridge, a dishwasher, and a fridge; there is also a pantry. The dining/family area is lit by natural light from a roof lantern and bi-folding doors to the rear garden, as well as a window overlooking the side garden.

Outside

The property is approached through via a hedged entrance to a gravel driveway, which has off street parking space for up to five cars and an EV charge point. Gated side access leads to a side and rear garden and two sheds. A porcelain patio spans the width of the property, flush with the kitchen/dining/family room bi-fold doors and along one side. The rear garden is laid to lawn and is enclosed on three sides by low level timber fencing (replaced 2 years ago), allowing views over the countryside beyond.

Situation and Schooling

Marsh is a hamlet close to the Chiltern Hills with access to paths and bridleways through open countryside. A public footpath adjacent to the property leads to the Harrow at Bishopstone. Amenities - including mainline railway stations with services to London - are available in Princes Risborough (4.9 miles) and Wendover (5.1 miles). The property is also in catchment for grammar schools in Aylesbury (6.3 miles) and the bus stop for Aylesbury Grammar School stops just outside.
