3 Bed Cottage For Sale

Green Cottage is in a tranquil setting overlooking a village green in a picturesque conservation area. Thornborough is a highly sought after location a few miles from Buckingham . The village has a  pub, a historic Manor House, a church dating back to 1237, a 14th century medieval bridge and central village pond.It is surrounded by countryside providing opportunities for walking and riding. There is a primary school rated outstanding by Ofsted. For commuting, nearby Milton Keynes has trains to Euston taking 32 minutes.
The house itself oozes charm and character as well as offering well laid out accommodation and is ready for a new owner to put their mark on it and turn it into a dream country home. 
Surrounded by a low picket fence at the front, there is a narrow front garden stocked with plants and shrubs next to the house and an entrance gate leads onto a generous entrance porch with a light . The stable style front door takes you into the entrance hallway.

Entrance hallway
This has a slate floor and great storage cupboards with sliding doors and hanging space for coats and shoes. The utility room is off the hallway as well as the downstairs shower room.  There is potential to use a section of the downstairs accommodation as a self contained annexe that could provide a rental income for the owner. A door from the hallway could be closed off behind which would be a bedroom/ sitting room, kitchen ( current utility) and shower room. The separate entrance is a door to the side of the house leading into the downstairs bedroom.

Utility Room
This has a range of eye level and base units , a sink with drainer, plumbing for a washing machine and a vent for tumble dryer and heated towel rail. It has a window overlooking the green and so plenty of light.

Kitchen / Diner
From the hallway you step into the heart of the home- a spacious and perfect entertaining space as it accommodates a dining table for at least six people next to a dresser and window over looking the green outside. The kitchen area to the rear has a mixture of fitted and free standing base units with a tiled splash back and wood worktop, a butler sink and integrated dishwasher. There is a very useful large pantry cupboard as well as two windows to the rear.

Reception room
Leaving the kitchen and past the central staircase is the entrance to the living room which is  very cosy with a wood burning stove and oak flooring. There is ample room for seating and a window overlooking the front once again.

Downstairs bedroom/ reception
This is where the versatility of the house is as this downstairs room could be used as a separate snug or perhaps a workplace for someone who needed an office or just a guest bedroom. As mentioned  before, if required it would be very easy to have a tenant here or use a vehicle such as AirBnB to create an income for the owner. It is very easy to make this area a self contained unit as there is a separate entrance to the room at the side of the house. The door in the main house hallway can be closed off so that the room has its own shower and the utility can be used as a kitchen.

Downstairs cloakroom / shower room
An low level wc and wash hand basin and a wet room style shower with glass screen.

Upstairs accommodation
On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom which is currently used as a dressing room.
There is a very generous sized family bathroom which has a jacuzzi style bath and a separate walk in shower in a wet room style all fully tiled.
There is loft access from the landing

Outside space.
From the front door there is a pathway at the front of the house and access to an outside storage room next to the downstairs bedroom which is useful for storing bicycles, garden equipment etc. Beyond this there are stone steps leading up to a raised cottage garden which has far reaching views over the green and is a lovely sun trap in the summer. There is a garden shed with power and light and plenty of room for seating and flower borders and currently laid to shingle. There is an LPG storage tank .
The garden area has much potential and could be improved and modified by a keen gardener.
