House For Sale £1,750,000
Charming period house with gardens and land.
Description
Occupying an idyllic location this charming Grade II listed house is set in mature gardens with an adjoining acre plot of land. Dell House dates from 1708 with later additions and retains much of its original character with period features including exposed beams and handsome fireplaces. This delightful property now offers a wonderful opportunity for a buyer to modernise and possibly extend, subject to the usual consents.
The front door opens into the reception hall with a cloakroom, stairs to the first floor and also giving access to a cellar. A delightful sitting room overlooks the frontage with a magnificent inglenook fireplace, while a formal dining/family room room lies adjacent, with a further inglenook fireplace. The farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room provides a lovely family space, with a gas Aga and ample room for a large table. Just off the kitchen is a generous utility room with plenty of storage and leads through to a quietly situated study.
The first floor offers generous and characterful bedroom accommodation, with the principal bedroom having a range of fitted wardrobes, an en suite bathroom and superb distant views. The remaining four double bedrooms are all of a good size, two with built in wardrobes and served by a family bathroom. One of the bedrooms gives access to a spacious loft.

The gardens of Dell House wrap around the property and are an absolute delight. The beautiful rear garden is set in a dell, landscaped with tiered, planted banks and woodland on the boundaries providing a secluded and private setting. The garden enjoys a large area of lawn with flower beds, meandering pathways and steps leading to elevated seating spots to take full advantage of the views. To the side is a wonderful vintage greenhouse and a lovely terrace area adjoins the house giving an ideal place to enjoy the garden.
In addition is an adjacent plot of land of about an acre, accessed from the front garden, with superb elevated rural distant view. The land is set over two levels with an area of woodland to the side. There is a vegetable/fruit cage and a variety of mature fruit trees including apple, pear, damson and greengage. On the top level, which was originally a grass tennis court, is a charming pavilion/summer house. Dell House is approached from a country lane on to a gravelled driveway with parking for several vehicles and leads to a large garage, with both a wood store and workshop area.
Location
Wooburn Green 1 mile, Bourne End 1.5 miles, M40 (J3 to London) 2.5 miles, Beaconsfield 4 miles, High Wycombe 6 miles, Heathrow (J5) 16 miles, central London 27 miles. All distances are approximate.
Located in a conservation area, Dell House enjoys a delightful semi-rural setting perfect for those who wish to be near to open countryside yet within reach of local facilities, road networks and schooling.
The area is popular with commuters as communication links in the area are excellent. There is a mainline train service which runs to London Marylebone from Beaconsfield and High Wycombe. There are also rail connections to London Paddington from Bourne End via Maidenhead. The area also benefits from the recently opened Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) giving direct and fast journey times to London’s West End, City and Canary Wharf.
The M40 is accessible from Beaconsfield (J2) and Loudwater (J3). The A404 Marlow bypass enables access to the M4 (J8/9).
Buckinghamshire is renowned for its choice and standard of schooling. The county is one of the last to maintain the traditional grammar school system, with local schools including Beaconsfield High School for girls and the Royal Grammar School for boys in High Wycombe. Local independent preparatory schools include High March, Pipers Corner, Godstowe for girls and Davenies, Caldicott, The Beacon for boys, to name a few.
