5 Bed Detached House For Sale

Located in a quiet Chilterns hamlet, this property is set back from the lane and accessed via a pair of five-bar gates. The wide reception hall leads to a dual aspect sitting room on the right. This is a lovely room, making the most of natural light and overlooking the south-westerly gardens at the far end. French doors open to the terrace where there is a clematis-clad arbour; a delightful place to while away a summer afternoon enjoying views across the garden to rolling Chiltern countryside beyond. On the opposite side of the hall, there is a large study (which could be used as a playroom) and a useful coat room. To the rear the open-plan kitchen/dining room has both French doors and bifold doors to the terrace and gardens. The cloakroom, utility and boot room complete the ground floor accommodation. Rising to the first floor, there are five bedrooms, two of which (including the principal) have views across the countryside. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area with built-in wardrobes and en suite shower room while the remaining bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.

Outside

A gravel drive leads to the house and provides ample parking space. To one side of the drive there is an area of lawn with a silver-leaf willow tree. Secure gates on both sides of the house open to the rear where the gardens and outlook are delightful. A wide terrace spans the width of the house and steps descend to the gardens which are largely laid to lawn and surrounded by mature hedging and fencing. Views of the fields beyond are uninterrupted.

Situation

The property is located on the edge of The Lee; an extremely pretty village offering fantastic walks through open fields and woodland as well as a choice of local pubs (The Old Swan and The Cock & Rabbit). Village life centres around the green and the 13th century church which regularly hosts musical events and functions. There is also a community shop, an active cricket club and a tennis court. Nearby, Great Missenden (3.4 miles) offers a variety of restaurants and shops whilst fast trains run from the station to London Marylebone in approximately 40 minutes. Buckinghamshire is renowned for its state and private education, details of which can be obtained from the local authority.
