Modernisation required - exciting project
Looking for a character cottage in one of North Buckinghamshire's most beautiful villages? "Oaklands" is a charming detached stone cottage under a tiled roof displaying bands of fishscale tiles. Off historical significance, with a Grade II listing and date stone of 1753 this period home has a very large garden to the rear abutting open countryside. Modernisation and Improvement required.
Standing on the fringe of Weston Underwood, several times winner of North Bucks most attractive village award, this fine home offers potential in abundance and the opportunity to be creative and imaginative during its restoration.
Ground Floor
A small porch to the front opens into the sitting room which runs full width of the property. A brick fireplace set within a timber surround stands to one wall. Either side of the fireplace are arched alcoves with fitted shelving and cabinets. Bench seating to the windows which retain their hinged shuttering. Access to cellar. Inner lobby gives access to a walk in shelved storage cupboard. And opens into a day room where a former inglenook fireplace stands to one wall with exposed bressumer beam over. A door from this room gives access to a utility area with cloakroom. Walk through from the Day Room to a room of immense possibilities. This a large and rather grand room open to the ceiling with wood panelling to the walls. A kitchen is fitted to one end and a wood burning stove to the other allowing the vast space in the centre of this room to accommodate a farmhouse style table, chairs and even sofas. A proper family room for gathering, chatting and dining.
First Floor
A staircase rises to the first floor landing where there are built in cupboards. On this floor there are three bedrooms, two with window bench seating and the other with a deep sill window. The bathroom has a three piece suite of bath, washbasin and low flush WC.
Outside
To the front of the property a high beech hedge provides privacy. A pebbled footpath access the porch to the front of the property bisecting a small area of lawn. A pathway extends around the property to the western elevation where the oil tank and external boiler are located. To the opposite gable of the property stand a pair of garages with wooden doors and power supplied.
The garden to the rear is very generously proportioned with a pathway meandering from front to back. There are many varieties of mature tree and several outbuildings both brick and timber dotted around in various states of repair. The garden is fully enclosed and a paved area of patio stands immediately outside the eastern gable at the rear of the property.
