A gate opens to a wide shingle drive and the forecourt which provides ample parking space and leads to two detached garages with electric doors. One of the garages has a separate workshop area. Surrounded by mature hedging and trees, the gardens and grounds are truly delightful. Large areas of lawn, fruit trees, a vegetable garden and ornamental flower beds are interspersed with meandering paths and a garden store is discreetly located beyond the garages. Situation Great Missenden is a pretty and historic village in the heart of the Chilterns. It caters for everyday needs with a supermarket and a wide variety of independent shops, a Post Office, hairdressers' salons, cafes and restaurants. It is also home to The Roald Dahl Museum and a thriving 20-court tennis club (including two for padel tennis). Whilst the property is close to the village amenities, tranquillity is nearby with an extensive network of public footpaths through open fields and woodland. Transport links are very good with the station offering a direct rail service to London Marylebone in approximately 50 minutes. Access to London by road can be gained via the A413 which connects to the A40, M40 and M25. Heathrow Airport is just 28 miles distant. Buckinghamshire is renowned for its state and private education. The property is close to highly regarded educational establishments (such as The Gateway preparatory school and the Great Missenden C of E School) and it is also within the catchment area for grammar schools.
