4 Bed Detached House For Sale

A charming characterful detached cottage, offering a deceptively generous and adaptable layout nestling on a picturesque private plot with lovely views over the Misbourne valley.


Description

Valley Cottage is an attractive Grade II listed country cottage, the original parts believed to date from the 17th century. More recently the property has been extended and much improved, to offer adaptable and generous accommodation filled with original charm and character with features including exposed brickwork, beams, vaulted ceilings and inglenook fireplaces.

The layout is deceptively spacious with three formal reception rooms and a bespoke “Lansdowne” conservatory which includes a restored well. The Conservatory enjoys captivating views over the gardens and countryside beyond. A lovely open plan split level kitchen and utility room make up the remainder of the ground floor layout.

Upstairs there are four generous and individual bedrooms served by two modern, well-appointed bath/shower rooms. A secondary staircase rising from the utility room gives access to an additional comprehensively fitted study area.

A particular feature of Valley Cottage is the picturesque setting within the Misbourne Valley with views over rolling Chilterns hills.

The property enjoys a generous yet extremely secluded plot approaching half an acre with a long driveway sweeping through to a large parking area in front of the cottage. A wonderful oak framed barn provides additional under cover parking, further storage and a useful studio. The gardens are well screened with a pleasant raised terrace ideal for informal entertaining leading to extensive lawns bordered with mature trees and hedging, and with wonderful semi-rural views beyond.
