House For Sale £1,150,000
Beautiful blend of old and new, in a sought after Buckinghamshire village.
Description
Enjoying an enviable position, right in the heart of this coveted Buckinghamshire village and only a short walk from the station, this attractive barn conversion, measuring in excess of 3000 sq ft, offers the perfect mix of peace, tranquillity and convenience.
Adjoined to the original farmhouse, set within a courtyard, the property enjoys an enclosed, mature plot, together with sizeable and versatile accommodation, offering six bedrooms and flexible living spaces to suit a growing or multi-generational family.
Downstairs, the welcoming, open entrance hall leads to superb living spaces. The largest of the three spacious reception rooms is the dual aspect sitting room; complete with open fire, which provides a wonderful space, leading out to the front and small secret garden, equally ideal for entertaining as it is every-day family life. A nearby family room at the rear of the property is cosier, decorated in rich, dark tones, and features a recently added wood burning stove.
While much of this conversion has exposed beams and other period features, the contemporary kitchen adjoins a beautiful, award winning designed dining room, which boasts an impressive vaulted ceiling and opens onto the rear garden. Off the kitchen there is a separate utility room and large cloakroom.
Completing the ground floor, there is a good size study/seventh bedroom which, with its own refitted modern wetroom with disabled access, is ideal for independent living for an elderly relative, teenager or au pair.
Upstairs on the first floor, there are no less than six bedrooms, five of which are double rooms, all accessed from the spacious, light filled, landing. The main bedroom has an en suite bathroom and built-in wardrobe, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a good sized modern family bathroom. The flexibility of this property is apparent throughout, with one of the spacious double bedrooms currently used as an additional living space.
Outside, the mature south-easterly facing rear garden is large enough for family living and summer entertaining, yet easy to maintain, with the main area measuring around 65ft x 50ft. A tranquil and beautiful space, the garden is well-stocked with shrubs and perennials, all creating a high degree of privacy and seclusion - an idyllic escape in every way. There is also a small secret garden to the left side of the property, viewed from the main sitting room. A recently added garden cabin provides another option as a work-from-home space, gym or hobbies room.
To the front, the property overlooks an attractive central courtyard. Car parking is ample, with both a driveway for two vehicles, with electric vehicle charging point, plus a good size garage with parking in front for an additional vehicle.
This wonderful home really does offer the best of all worlds: an elegant family home in a sought after village setting, within the Aylesbury grammar schools catchment area, and highly convenient for London.
Location
This sought-after Buckinghamshire village, close to the borders of Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, has the unusual benefit of its own mainline train station, boasting a regular and direct service to London Euston in around 45 minutes.
Alternatively, for those who prefer roads to rail, this well-placed village is convenient for many major routes; the A41 dual carriageway, accessed at Tring, provides a direct link to the M25 (J20), and the M1 and A5 are also a short drive.
Village facilities include a modern village hall, sports field, tennis club, two pubs, and 12th Century church. Nearby towns offer a more comprehensive range of facilities, from the boutiques and coffee shops in picturesque Tring and, Leighton Buzzard and Berkhamsted, to the shopping centres and department stores of Milton Keynes and Aylesbury, both of which also boast multiplex cinemas and extensive leisure facilities.
Schooling is excellent. Cheddington Combined School caters for younger children and, for those older, the village falls within the Grammar Schools catchment area in Aylesbury.
