Description
Set in undulating Chiltern countryside and enjoying a total plot of 0.68 of an acre, a deceptively spacious three-storey house. The lower ground level has its own entrance and could make ideal annexe accommodation for an au pair, student or family member.
Set back from the road, this property sits on an elevated position, making the most of stunning views and the surrounding countryside. It was originally built in the 1950s, with later additions that benefit from large windows in many of the rooms. The rear of the house has a southerly aspect and there are several perfect spots including a decked pergola area for al fresco dining and soaking up the vista. The triple aspect sitting room is delightful with a vaulted ceiling; light and airy in the summer months and with a wood-burning stove for cooler days. The dining room, with working fireplace, adjoins the kitchen which opens to the conservatory at the rear of the house. There are three bedrooms on this level with the principal suite overlooking the gardens and orchard beyond.
Rising to the first floor, there are two further bedrooms, one with a walk-in store/wardrobe. The lower ground floor is used by the current owners as an office. It could, however, work well as an annexe, guest suite or au pair accommodation.
Outside
To the front of the house, there is parking space for numerous cars and an area of fenced garden. To the rear, the grounds are an absolute joy with an abundance of natural flora and fauna. Set into the hillside and creating a sense of tranquillity, there is an area of orchard offering apples, pears, damsons and cherries as well as oak, walnut and chestnut trees and views across the Misbourne valley. Other plantings include magnolia, Himalayan birch and redwood cypress.
Situation
The village of Great Missenden offers an extensive range of shops, a supermarket, pubs and restaurants (such as The Nag's Head and Fan Fan Pizzeria) as well as The Roald Dahl Museum and a thriving tennis club.
The property is less than a mile from Peterley Manor Farm shop and offers access to a number of walks through open fields and woodland, including a footpath to Great Missenden and the mainline station to London Marylebone (fast train approx. 40 minutes). Heathrow Airport is just 25 miles distant.
Buckinghamshire is renowned for its state and private education. The property is close to highly regarded educational establishments and is within the catchment area for grammar schools. Details may be obtained from the local authority.
