Property description
An extended, five double bedroom character cottage surrounded by woodland on a 0.45 acre plot with outbuildings in the rural hamlet of Redland End in the Chiltern Hills.
The cottage is believed to date back to the early 18th century and has since been sympathetically enlarged and refurbished whilst retaining many character features including exposed timbers, an inglenook fireplace and iron latch doors. There is a range of outbuildings including an office, workshop, store and a studio. There is also a World War Two shelter which has previously been used as a wine cellar. Redland End is a small rural hamlet close to Speen (1.8 miles) and set between the market towns of Princes Risborough and Great Missenden, high on a wooded ridge.
Reception Rooms
At the front of the property is a dual aspect snug which has an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove. There are terracotta floor tiles and exposed beams to the ceiling. The sitting room has a range of bespoke storage units with cupboards and display shelving. There is recessed lighting and French doors to a patio seating area.
Kitchen/Family/Dining Room
The kitchen is fitted with contemporary Shaker style units and hardwood work surfaces which incorporate a breakfast bar. The stone tiled flooring with underfloor heating continues through an opening into the triple aspect family/dining room which has recessed lighting. There is space for a dining table and chairs as well as a seating area. Bi-folding doors span two walls and open the room to a terrace area in the rear garden for entertaining.
Outside
The property is approached via a gated gravelled driveway. The mature landscaped gardens are mostly laid to lawn with various well stocked beds and a green house. The outbuildings include a brick built workshop, store and office with an attached log store, and a separate studio with power connected and there is a paved entertainment terrace. There is also a landscaped pond and a historical garden well. There is an option to lease an additional 0.4 acre paddock which is currently leased annually from The Hampden Estate.
Situation and Schooling
The property is close to footpaths and bridleways through the surrounding woodland. The neighbouring village of Speen has a village shop, a post office and a Church of England primary school. The market town of Princes Risborough is approximately 3.5 miles away and has a variety of shops, restaurants and a mainline railway station with London Marylebone reached in 38 minutes.
