About this property

This much-loved family home is on the market for the first time, designed for the current owners to fit its immediate setting in this sought-after locality. The property backs onto Green Belt open farmland and has close access to the network of Chiltern Hills footpaths.

Standing back from the lane, this attractive and deceptively spacious cottage was designed by the current owners to fit its immediate setting. Looking onto Green Belt open farmland to the rear, it has a positively rural feel to it combined with the practicalities of a flourishing village community.
The porch gives access to the 16 ft x 14 ft open-plan sitting/dining room where there is a recessed multi-fuel stove. To the left, there is an inner hall (with high level bookshelves) and two bedrooms (one of which would work well as a study). The family bathroom is also located on this level. To the rear of the house, the kitchen is well placed to take advantage of the rural views towards Atkins Woods and beyond. A door opens from the kitchen to the rear garden.
The handmade oak, spiral staircase rises to the first floor where the dual aspect main bedroom runs from front to back. Dormer windows overlook the front gardens and to the rear the windows offer a panoramic view across fields to the woods and the distant horizon beyond.
The second bedroom on this level is currently used as an artist's studio, benefitting from a Velux roof light. It also offers access to the loft above. The night cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level.

Outside
Set back from the lane, the gravel driveway provides space to park three cars and leads to the garage (with useful storage space above) and to the house itself. To the right of the drive, there is an expanse of lawn and a few fruit trees (apple, fig and damson). Well-tended flower beds and borders offer attractive splashes of colour and create a highly appealing impression. A path to the left of the house leads to the back door and rear garden which is perfectly delightful and feels extremely spacious thanks to the adjoining landscape - a wide, open sky contributes to the ever-changing pastoral outlook. A raised, paved "shelf" runs along part of the back hedge. This aids clipping and is an attractive spot for potted plants. A greenhouse and large shed are located to one side of the garden and the hedge adds to the level of privacy.

Situation
The edge of village location offers access to numerous country walks through open fields and woodland whilst the Post Office, schools and doctors' surgeries are all approximately one mile away. Great Missenden (1.4 mile distant) offers specialised shopping, a main line station to London Marylebone (approximately 45 minutes) and an 18-court tennis club. The area benefits from a wealth of popular pubs, restaurants, farm shops and highly regarded private and state schools (including grammar), details of which may be obtained from the local authority.
