About this property

NO ONWARD CHAIN. Built c1850, a four-bedroom cottage with an abundance of character and charm situated in this beautiful Chiltern village, surrounded by open countryside. A 16 ft x 14 ft studio/garden room.

This delightful cottage was originally built as farm workers' accommodation in the mid-1800s and has been refurbished and extended by the current owners to create a deceptively spacious family home. A porch opens to the dining room with a two-sided, wood-burning stove which is also of benefit to the sitting room beyond. The kitchen/ breakfast room has bespoke fitted units with a Rangemaster stove and solid wood work tops. This is a lovely light and airy space that is a real highlight offering attractive vistas through French doors to the terrace and gardens. There is also a delightful family room which has a wood-burning stove and French doors to the terrace. A cloakroom and utility room complete the ground floor accommodation. Rising to the first floor, there are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom to the rear of the house has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams, an en suite shower room and a Juliet balcony which makes the most of the southerly aspect offering views across the garden to fields beyond.

Outside
To the front the property is parking for three to four cars and side access to the rear gardens. To the rear and the southerly-facing gardens, there is a large terrace running the full width of the cottage which provides a private entertaining area with steps to the level area of lawn where there are flower beds and mature hedging to the sides. The meandering path leads to the 16 ft x 14 ft studio/garden room; ideal for home working. This idyllic position offers beautiful views over the established hedging to green fields. A useful garden storage shed adjoins the studio.

Situation
Located in Swan Bottom, a hamlet of The Lee, many fantastic country walks may be enjoyed through open fields and woodland and there is a pub nearby, The Old Swan. The Lee is home to a thriving cricket club, a community shop and is considered one of the prettiest villages in the Chilterns, having been used as a film location for productions including Midsomer Murders and Endeavour. Great Missenden is 3.7 miles distant and offers specialised shopping and a train service to London Marylebone in approx. 40 minutes. Wendover is 3.4 miles distant. Buckinghamshire is renowned for its private and state (including grammar) schools, details of which can be obtained from the local authority.
