About this property

Tucked away along Hazlemere Road in the heart of Penn village, this charming semi-detached cottage offers a perfect blend of character and contemporary living. Lovingly modernised by the current owners, the property retains many original features that add to its timeless appeal. Planning permission has been granted for a two-storey side extension (Ref: PL/22/1900/FA).

One of the first cottages to be built on the road linking Penn and Hazlemere, Pear Tree Cottage was built in 1856 and is a very charming example of a modernised Victorian home, with a number of well-preserved character features. These include a bottle well – formerly the only source of water when the cottage and its neighbours were built, and an exposed brick fireplace with a multi fuel burner. Modern additions include a conservatory with underfloor heating, a kitchen extension with a Britannia range cooker and an updated family bathroom with fitted shutters. The pretty red brick cottage is well placed for commuter links and access into the Common Wood to the rear, where there are many walking trails to enjoy.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a beautiful family bath/shower room on the first floor, with a further double bedroom on the second floor ideal for visiting guests.

Outside
Pear Tree Cottage is approached via a shared gravel driveway with parking for as many as four cars in front of the house as well as access to the single garage. Mature hedging to the front provides a high degree of privacy and there is an impressive willow tree overlooked by the reception room. The well-maintained rear garden is designed in a low-maintenance style, including a central lawn enclosed by slate chipping pathways and raised borders stocked with a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers. There is also a built-in barbecue, a potting shed and a paved seating area perfectly positioned for capturing the sun.
