Property description

A Grade II listed part 17th century four double bedroom detached and extended house with a garden room and a garage, situated on a plot of around 0.7 acres in a village location.

Luke House dates in part from 1650, with later additions made in the 18th and 20th centuries. The current owner has made some sympathetic improvements including a new refitted kitchen/breakfast room and bathroom in 2017. The triple aspect sitting room spans the full width of the house and has exposed timbers, an inglenook fireplace and parquet flooring. The formal dining room has a fireplace, a walk-in cupboard, a display cabinet and a door to the kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a utility room and a two piece cloakroom. On the first floor there are two dual aspect double bedrooms at the front, both with exposed beams and vaulted ceilings. There are two further double bedrooms, both with exposed beams. There are also two family bathrooms, the larger of which has a four piece suite, tiled flooring, underfloor heating and recessed lighting.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room and Utility Room

The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room was refitted in 2017 and has a range of cream Shaker style units with marble worktops and upstands, an inset one and a half bowl ceramic sink unit with a mixer tap, an integrated oven with a gas hob, and a fridge. There is also a quarry tiled floor, space for a breakfast table and chairs, and windows overlooking - and French doors to - the rear garden. The utility room has a sink, space for appliances, and fitted shelving.

Outside Highlights

The property is situated beyond an old brick and flint wall and has a gravelled driveway, a store room, a shed, a greenhouse and a summer house. The gardens which surround the property are a particular feature and include lawned areas, with flower beds, mature fruit trees, a vegetable plot and soft fruit cages. The plot in total measures around 0.7 acres.

Situation and Schooling

The property is in the centre of Chinnor village - on the High Street - and is within walking distance of shopping facilities including a supermarket, village store, post office, bakery and pharmacy. There are also churches, pubs, restaurants and sports clubs. Chinnor has a nursery, a preschool and two primary schools and is in catchment for Lord Williamsu2019s Upper School in Thame.
