House For Sale £895,000
An attractive period house that dates back to at least the 17th century, well located in the middle of Whitchurch, a charming Buckinghamshire village.
The house has been significantly upgraded and extended to create a superb home for family living and entertaining. The accommodation most notably comprises a large kitchen, dining and family room with several doors leading out to a paved outdoor area in the gardens. There are four bedrooms served by two bathrooms. There is also a utility room, ground floor cloakroom and study. Throughout the house are period features, most notably in the sitting room where there are beautiful exposed beams and a large fireplace with a wood-burning stove.
The gardens are completely enclosed by the house and a high wall which makes for an exceptionally private space. There is driveway parking in front of the double garage, with the rest of the garden mostly laid to lawn with a paved area around part of the house. The garage provides excellent storage, but it may be possible to convert it into further living accommodation, subject to relevant planning consents.
