House For Sale £450,000
A James Donald Homes listing! Offered with NO CHAIN is this charming late 19th century, well presented, two double bedroom semi-detached cottage retaining much of its original character combined with a modern contemporary edge, with a cosy sitting room with multi-fuel (logs and coal) burner. A major asset of this home is the hugely impressive garden, which is flat and extends to approximately 148ft, offering substantial scope for outbuildings which have become so very popular in recent times (the future owner will inherit the existing summerhouse and shed). The loft space has been converted and a paddle staircase added (accessed via bedroom 2) making this space infinitely more usable and perhaps an ideal hobby room / office / additional bedroom space. Chapel Street is located just opposite Downley Common – the real heart of this highly sought after Chilterns village which is surrounded by countryside in this AONB, offering a peaceful lifestyle with a strong community and lots of local events and activities, but also convenient for access to J4 of the M40 and also High Wycombe town centre including the Chiltern Line train station.
Downley & the surrounding area
Downley is one of the most sought after areas of High Wycombe offering an ideal balance of a semi-rural lifestyle yet within minutes reach of the amenities of the town. This beautiful village sits to the north side of High Wycombe, abutting the National Trust Hughenden Manor and Park, surrounded by green belt land in the Chilterns Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty. The common and surrounding woodland are the focal point of the village and a dream for keen walkers or cyclists. Village residents enjoy a selection of shops ideal for everyday needs and two popular pubs. The Downley School and The Disraeli School cater for primary and middle school age children, with several sought after secondary and Grammar Schools around High Wycombe in catchment. A reliable, regular bus service goes through Downley into High Wycombe or by car residents can reach transport links such as J4 of the M40 or High Wycombe train station (Chiltern Line to London Marylebone) in a few minutes.
