Property description

A Grade II listed late 18th-century double fronted four bedroom property with views of the church from the enclosed rear garden, situated in the market town of Olney.

The stone under slate property has nearly 2,100 sq. ft of accommodation set over three floors. This includes a reception hall with period panelling, stairs to the first floor, exposed stone work walls, and wooden flooring which continues into the sitting room which has a bay window overlooking the front, and a feature fireplace with a log burning stove. Also on the ground floor is a kitchen/dining room which is open plan to the family and reception areas. A door from the kitchen leads to the scullery which accesses a cloakroom. The first floor landing has an airing cupboard and stairs to the second floor. There are three bedrooms, all with built-in storage, and a bathroom which has a panelled bath with a shower over, a wash basin, and a WC. On the second floor there is an additional double bedroom, a study area which could be used as a dressing room or a further bedroom if required, and a shower room.

Kitchen/Dining/Family Room

The kitchen/dining area has quarry tiled flooring, a range of units and fitted cupboards with oak worksurfaces, and a double Belfast sink. There is a chimney breast with an inset gas Aga, a built-in dishwasher, and a fridge/freezer. There are two windows overlooking the rear garden and a partially glazed door to the paved courtyard at the rear. The adjoining family area has wood flooring.

Gated access at the front leads to the shared passageway with no. 26. The enclosed walled rear garden has views of the church steeple, and a paved courtyard seating area leading to the lawned area with established trees, shrubs, roses, and climbers. There is an octagonal timber summer house with French doors, and two garden sheds.
