Property description

A 16th-century three double bedroom newly refurbished detached cottage with versatile accommodation, a garage, off street parking and mature gardens.

The original flint and brick cottage dates from around 1577 and retains many original features such as an inglenook fireplace, exposed ceiling beams, stripped wooden floorboards and ledge and brace internal doors. A solid timber door under a covered porch opens to a dining room which has a brick fireplace with a bread oven and a tiled hearth; a concealed staircase leads to the first floor. A side aspect window provides natural light and to the right of the fireplace a door leads to the kitchen. A further door accesses the sitting room which has a double front aspect, a brick inglenook open fireplace with a wrought iron grate and a feature seat. There is also a snug/playroom and a study with a back door onto a gravelled seating area. On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has a side aspect and bedroom three has a feature cast iron fireplace. There is a three piece family bathroom and a separate cloakroom. A hatch accesses a part boarded loft.

Kitchen

The kitchen is dual aspect overlooking the rear garden and gravelled seating area, and has been fitted with a range of solid oak storage units, drawers, an inset sink, and contrasting work surfaces. Appliances include a range cooker with an extractor above, a dishwasher and a washing machine. There is also space for a fridge freezer. The floor has been laid with terracotta tiles and there is a partially glazed stable door to the side.

Outside

Verneys is approached via an iron gate and a brick path to the front door. To the rear, there is a gravelled seating area and a lawned garden with a paved patio with a low, curved brick wall; a raised brick wall encloses a small pond. The gardens are surrounded by timber picket and wrought iron fencing, as well as mature trees and hedging. There is off street parking in front of the garage which has timber double doors at the front. Wooden gates to the left of the garage open onto a gravelled area which is currently used for additional parking.

Situation and Schooling

The cottage is within approximately five minutes’ walk of Cryers Hill which has a convenience store, a post office, a church, and Great Kingshill Church of England Combined School. High Wycombe is approximately 3 miles away and has a range of shopping and social facilities, the Wycombe Swan Theatre, schooling for all ages - including grammar and private schools - tennis and cricket clubs, a sports centre and a mainline railway station.
