About
Dating from the 17th century, this beautifully presented Grade II Listed cottage occupies a central position in the heart of Long Crendon's sought-after High Street.
Rich in period character, the house displays an abundance of exposed beams and traditional detailing throughout.
It is also recognisable from its appearance in several episodes of Midsomer Murders and has been cherished by the same owner for over 50 years.
The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall, from which the principal reception rooms unfold.
At the front of the house, both the dining room and the double-aspect sitting room enjoy cosy inglenook fireplaces, exposed timbers and a warm, intimate atmosphere that perfectly reflects the home's heritage.
To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with classic Shaker-style cabinetry and enjoys views across the garden, providing a practical yet characterful space for everyday living.
A separate utility room and ground-floor cloakroom add further convenience.
On the first floor, the accommodation comprises three bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying views over the village High Street.
The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite, including a shower over the bath, sensitively blending modern comfort with the home's historic setting.
The thatched roof has recently been re-ridged, offering reassurance and reflecting the careful stewardship of the current owners.
Outside The gardens to the rear are a particular feature, thoughtfully landscaped and arranged over two levels to create a private and tranquil setting.
A stone terrace directly behind the cottage provides an ideal space for outdoor seating, while steps lead up to a generous lawn bordered by established herbaceous planting.
A further raised terrace offers an excellent spot for al fresco dining and entertaining.
Due to the size and layout of the grounds, there is clear potential to extend or further develop the property, subject to the usual planning consents.
In addition, the property benefits from a separate garage with power, above which is a useful office space with its own cloakroom ideal for home working or ancillary accommodation.
Situation Long Crendon is a highly regarded Buckinghamshire village, well known for its strong sense of community and wide range of amenities.
