3 Bed Detached House For Sale

Historically, Prestwood was an important resting point for travellers between London and the Midlands and this property lies on part of that former route. Today this is a very pretty country lane surrounded by the most beautiful countryside.

Standing back from the lane, this deceptively spacious and versatile bungalow has a positively rural feel to it combined with the practicalities of a flourishing village community.

The porch gives access to the 23 ft x 12 ft sitting room where there is a recessed wood-burning stove and a bay window from which to admire the views. To the rear of the house, the kitchen (fitted with cream Shaker-style units and an integrated five-ring gas hob, dishwasher, a Neff double oven, microwave and fridge/freezer) is well placed to take advantage of the rural views and rolling countryside. There is an inner hall which provides access to the study, three bedrooms (one of which would work well as a dining room) and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom to the rear benefits from a night cloakroom and double doors to the rear courtyard garden.

The feature brick-built fireplace, 'latch-key' wooden doors, shutters to all front aspect windows and exposed timber beams throughout lend this property plenty of charm and atmosphere.

Outside

Set back from the lane, the brick paviour driveway provides space to park several vehicles and leads to the garage which has an electric up-and-over door and a utility area for washing and drying, plus additional storage space. To the right of the drive, there is an expanse of lawn and a rockery giving a splash of colour whilst offering 'easy to maintain' borders surrounding the terrace. A path leads to the rear walled courtyard which provides a delightful sheltered area for an early morning coffee; the French doors from the main bedroom open to this terrace.

Situation

The property is located at the end of a highly sought-after lane on the edge of the village. Prestwood offers numerous shops, a Post Office, hairdressers, pubs, two supermarkets and Sprinters Leisure Centre. The village of Great Missenden is 1.8 miles away with a picturesque high street, many historic buildings and a diverse selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and an active 20-court tennis club (including two recently added padel courts). Both villages are surrounded by captivating countryside and benefit from an extensive network of public footpaths and bridle paths. The fast train from Great Missenden’s main line station to London Marylebone takes approximately 50 minutes with the tube accessible at Amersham (approximately 8 miles distant). Buckinghamshire is renowned for its state and private education (including grammar), details of which may be obtained from the local authority.
