House For Sale £2,500,000
Offered to the market for the first time in nearly 40 years, Sycamore Lodge is wonderful period family home in the Oxfordshire countryside, set in delightful grounds of just over three acres.
The accommodation comprises four bedrooms, four reception rooms, kitchen, study, downstairs WC, two bathrooms, annexe with bathroom, double garage, driveway parking, stables, paved terrace, front and rear gardens, orchard, and paddock.
The property
Sycamore Lodge is a charming family home with immense character. The property is entered via striking reception hall, with wooden architraves around the doors and staircase. To the left and right of the reception hall are the bright yet cosy sitting room and drawing room, both with beautiful large windows and working fireplaces. The spacious dining room found along the hall has a glorious view over the gardens and an impressive marble fireplace.
To the rear of the property, the country kitchen leads off the breakfast room, where the exposed beams and brickwork from the oldest part of the house are visible. The kitchen has fully fitted units and a range of integrated appliances, and a door to the rear garden. In the northwest corner, the study overlooks the gardens and offers a peaceful space from which to work from home.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and large windows overlooking the front garden. Two of the three further bedrooms also have built-in wardrobes. Two spacious bathrooms complete the accommodation on the first floor. A separate brick and flint annexe lies to one side of the main house.
The annexe has a spacious sitting room/bedroom and a bathroom. Next to the annexe is a large store room, ideal for garden equipment.
Garden and grounds
Sycamore Lodge is situated in a beautiful countryside setting and has lovely gardens. To the front is a wonderful brick and flint wall with ornate gates giving access to the garden and a path to the front door. The front garden is mainly to lawn, surrounded by rich, mature borders.
The rear garden is truly special, with grass paths meandering amongst flower beds, shrub borders and mature trees, including an apple orchard. The variety of plants and arrangements make for year round interest. Beyond the garden at the rear are pleasant views across a neighbouring wood-lined paddock. The garden is best enjoyed from the enclosed paved terrace at the rear of the house.
The paddock to the side of the property is a real asset. It is bordered by woodland and dotted with trees, with an open shelter and a large stable building. The gardens and paddock combined total approximately 3.14 acres.
Northend stands high in the Chiltern hills in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty above the Stonor Valley.
The pretty market towns of Henley-on-Thames, Watlington and Marlow are all close at hand with an excellent range of shops and recreational facilities. The larger centres of Oxford, High Wycombe, and Reading are also easily accessible as well as good rail and motorway links to central London.
Schools in the area include Wycombe Abbey for girls; the Royal Grammar School at High Wycombe; St. Pirans in Maidenhead; and Sir William Borlase's Grammar School in Marlow.
The accommodation comprises four bedrooms, four reception rooms, kitchen, study, downstairs WC, two bathrooms, annexe with bathroom, double garage, driveway parking, stables, paved terrace, front and rear gardens, orchard, and paddock.
