Property description
A Grade II listed 15th century thatched three bedroom detached cottage with gardens, a summerhouse and off street parking.
The restored and modernised property is in a contemporary style but retains character features, including exposed oak beams, bespoke joinery, stained glass, and wooden and stone flooring. A side door opens into a hall which is open plan to the kitchen and has access to a three piece bathroom with tiled flooring with underfloor heating. The ground floor also has a utility room, and a sitting room and dining room which are divided by a dual aspect fireplace with a brick hearth housing a woodburning stove and a feature bread oven. Two staircases lead to the first floor where there is a study area, and three bedrooms all with fitted wardrobes. A five bar wooden gate opens to a gravel driveway with parking for up to three cars. The garden is enclosed by a white picket fence to the front and mature hedges to the side. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with established flower beds. There is also a stone well and a timber workshop. Earlier photos used to indicate seasonal changes.
Kitchen and Utility Room
The refitted kitchen has a range of white wooden base and wall units with wooden butcher block work surfaces and black iron furnishings. There is recessed spot downlighting, natural stone flooring and a lead lined secondary glazed window. There is space for a range cooker and a recessed area with a work surface has space below for further appliances. The separate utility room has additional storage, a butler sink and a door to the rear garden.
Rear Garden
The south easterly facing rear garden is in three areas and is enclosed by close boarded fencing. There is a lawned area with flower borders and a patio adjacent to the cottage; a gravelled area with raised vegetable beds created from railway sleepers; and a decked terrace which is partially sheltered by a pergola and houses a 10 ft. x 10 ft. timber summerhouse with French doors.
Location
The cottage is about 10 minutes’ walk (0.7 miles) from Stoke Mandeville railway station which has services to London Marylebone. Alternatively, Tring railway station – 9 miles away – has services to Euston. Stoke Mandeville has three pubs, two of which also have restaurants, a village store with a post office, a combined school and Stoke Mandeville Hospital with an A&E department.
