We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Positioned prominently within the heart of the ever-popular Buckinghamshire village of Edlesborough, Castles Estate Agents offer for sale this beautifully preserved Grade II listed detached residence dating back to the 17th century, offering an exceptional blend of heritage charm, generous proportions, and refined modern living.
Close to the village green and approached via a sweeping gravel driveway with ample parking for several vehicles, the property immediately conveys a sense of warmth, character & timeless appeal.
Behind its attractive façade lies a thoughtfully arranged home extending across two floors, complemented by private wraparound gardens, a detached double garage with mezzanine level, and versatile outdoor buildings suited to a variety of lifestyle needs.
Stepping inside, the accommodation unfolds with an effortless balance between traditional architectural features and contemporary comfort.
The formal dining room provides an elegant yet welcoming introduction to the home, enhanced by exposed beams and an intimate atmosphere perfectly suited to entertaining or relaxed family dining.
Beyond, the principal reception room is both spacious and inviting, benefitting from a triple-aspect layout that allows natural light to pour in throughout the day.
A striking inglenook fireplace with log-burning stove forms the focal point of the room, creating a cosy retreat during the colder months, while direct access into the conservatory offers an additional reception space with uninterrupted views across the gardens.
This bright garden room creates a seamless connection between indoors and out, making it ideal for year-round enjoyment.
The kitchen has been tastefully modernised to complement the period origins, featuring classic cabinetry, timber work surfaces and ample preparation space for everyday family life or entertaining guests.
Positioned conveniently beside the dining room, it retains a 'cottage style' aesthetic while incorporating practical contemporary touches and useful storage solutions.
A stylish ground floor shower room further enhances the functionality of the property and incorporates laundry facilities, ensuring the home caters effortlessly to modern living requirements.
The first floor provides three generously sized double bedrooms, each enjoying individual character and excellent proportions.
The principal suite is particularly impressive, offering fitted storage, attractive outlooks over the surrounding gardens and the benefit of a contemporary en-suite shower room.
A beautifully appointed family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation, combining classic styling with luxury details, creating an elegant and relaxing environment.
A staircase also leads to an attic area, providing valuable additional space with flexibility for hobbies, storage, or future adaptation subject to the necessary permissions.
Externally, the grounds have been carefully landscaped to create a private and peaceful setting that wraps around the cottage on three sides.
Mature planting, established hedging, & thoughtfully designed seating areas provide a wonderful backdrop for outdoor living and entertaining.
A raised sun terrace offers an ideal position for 'Al-Fresco' dining during the warmer months, while the lawns and colourful borders create a picturesque outlook from every angle of the property.
Tucked within the garden is a charming timber cabin, perfectly suited as a reading retreat, studio, or quiet workspace, alongside a useful detached outbuilding that could accommodate a gym, workshop, or home office.
A standout feature of the property is the detached double garage, complete with a substantial first-floor mezzanine level that lends itself to a variety of uses.
Whether utilised as a home office, creative studio, games room, or potential annexe accommodation for multigenerational living, the space offers exceptional versatility and further enhances the lifestyle appeal of the home.
Edlesborough itself remains one of Buckinghamshire’s most desirable village settings, prized for its sense of community, attractive surroundings, and excellent convenience.
Residents benefit from a range of local amenities including independent cafés, a village shop, medical facilities, recreational spaces, and well-regarded schooling.
The property also falls within the catchment for the highly sought-after Buckinghamshire Grammar Schools, making it particularly appealing to families.
