House For Sale £650,000
Looking for a home within a secluded and peaceful location on the edge of the town and yet just minutes from the town centre? This attractive and beautifully presented detached house with a large garden is tucked away down an exclusive private road and has gardens backing directly onto woodland.
There are only 15 houses in this road so they rarely come to market, and this one is particularly special so you had better act fast! The location of the property is just one of its many attributes, being right on the edge of glorious countryside, but there are some houses you instantly feel at home in and this is one of those. It is presented in first class order with light, bright, well proportioned, neutrally decorated rooms and there is scope for further enlargement if so desired.
The accommodation is extremely versatile so it can be configured to suit the lifestyles of most owners in one form or another. You have up to 4 bedrooms with the master suite including a large dressing room or baby's nursery. The bathrooms are modern and the kitchen has a delightful cottage feeling to it. Then there are heaps of wonderful features such as the stained glass within the front door and side panels, the 1960s Aga in the kitchen, the stunning limestone fire place in the living room and the stylish radiator covers. The detached garage is a bonus and could easily be converted to the all important home office with a window providing views over the valley.
There is a handy covered porch outside the front door, a great place to leave your muddy boots after a long stroll in the woods. Open the door and you are greeted by a proper reception hall. This isn't your run of the mill entrance hall with just enough space to hang a coat. This is a grand reception hall, larger than many living rooms and the first sign that room sizes are not really going to be an issue in this house. The reception hall provides access to 3 storage cupboards so that all your shoes and coats can be hidden from view. There are also doors to all the downstairs rooms and the staircase.
The first room you come to is the living room. This is a large reception room, big enough to incorporate a dining table and chairs if you had another use for the separate dining room. There are two main features of this dual aspect room, the first being the large windows and doors providing glorious views over the garden and tree tops beyond whilst the second is that amazing limestone fire place. It is not hard to imagine the whole family enjoying winter evenings in front of a blazing open fire.
Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen / breakfast room. Fitted with country style wall and base units, the stunning classic Aga is the main focal point and you would just have to keep this even if you don't want to use it! The kitchen is neutrally decorated with a tiled floor and as well as the Aga, there is an integrated oven, hob, fridge, freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. The window provides views over the rear garden and beyond. A stable door provides direct access to the rear garden and the side of the house.
Cross the expansive reception hall and glazed double doors provide access to the good sized dining room where there is ample space for a large dining table and chairs. Alternatively you could utilise this room as another bedroom. Adjacent to this you will find the 3rd double bedroom which is ideally positioned next to the downstairs shower room, so would be ideal for a teenager or elderly relative. A large window provides an abundance of natural light and views over the front garden.
The downstairs shower room is very spacious with two windows providing natural light. There is a corner shower, a WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.
The staircase takes you up to a landing that is well lit by two Velux style windows. The master bedroom is really well proportioned with a window providing glorious views towards woodland and across the valley. An archway takes you through to the large dressing room which has a window offering the same views and a large built in wardrobe for all your clothes. Alternatively this would make a great baby's nursery.
Across the landing and you have Bedroom 2 which is another great sized double bedroom overlooking the front of the house. Between the two upstairs bedrooms is the family bathroom with a modern white suite consisting of a bath with shower attachment, a WC and a wash hand basin within a granite topped vanity unit.
To the side of the house, a long driveway provides parking for up to 3 cars in front of the garage. The garage already has power and light so would be easy to convert into a home office.
The parking area opposite the house is also owned by this property and provides additional parking for another 2 to 3 vehicles.
The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with just a couple of trees and a gravel path up to the front door. There is access down both sides of the house into the rear garden which is a real feature of this house. It is south facing and consists of a raised terrace, two large areas of lawn, a further patio and a number of mature shrubs. There is also a large garden shed. The garden is fully enclosed with a gorgeous brick and flint wall on one side and fencing around the rest. The sight of red kites gliding overhead is so relaxing and surrounded by greenery, with nothing to hear but the sound of birds, you would think you were in the middle of the New Forest rather than 5 minutes from the centre of High Wycombe!
A gate from the back garden provides direct access to the woods from which you can walk for miles without crossing a road. Indeed, you can walk all the way through to the historic village of West Wycombe with the renowned Hell Fire Caves, pubs, coffee shops, butchers, Post Office, a community run library and a selection of small specialist shops.
Slightly further afield, at Handy Cross you have John Lewis, Waitrose, Asda, Next, the sports centre, a cinema and restaurants as well as a fabulous farm shop and garden centre in Booker. For a larger shopping experience you have High Wycombe Town centre with the Eden Shopping centre within a 10 minute drive. High Wycombe also has the Swan Theatre, another cinema, a bowling alley and a vast selection of restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes and budgets. The riverside town of Marlow with all its boutiques and gastronomic delights can be reached within 15 minutes.
The residents of this exclusive private road form a very close knit community and as well as the usual WhatsApp group, they also hold regular events such as street parties and afternoon teas. This is your chance to become a part of this fabulous community.
