About
A residence of rare distinction, discreetly set back from the road behind a private gated entrance, this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached family home has been thoughtfully refined for contemporary living, while offering exciting potential to extend to the rear, should one wish to further enhance its scale.
Internally, the home celebrates its period heritage while seamlessly incorporating modern comforts, with a flowing layout perfectly suited to both everyday family life and formal entertaining.
The welcoming entrance hall offers generous space for guests and leads to a dual-aspect living room, featuring a newly installed double-glazed bay window overlooking the front garden, together with a side window that could be converted to provide direct access to the charming side courtyard.
A fireplace forms a warm and elegant focal point, creating an inviting setting for relaxed evenings.
To the left of the hallway lies a second reception room, currently arranged as a playroom, complete with a bay window.
This versatile space would lend itself equally well as a formal dining room, family snug, or refined sitting room.
To the rear of the property, an open-plan kitchen, dining and snug area forms the heart of the home, an ideal space for modern family living with clear scope to extend into the garden STPP to create an even more expansive entertaining area if desired.
Practical additions include a boot room with rear access, a ground-floor WC, and a dedicated laundry room, enhancing everyday convenience.
The first floor is approached via a spacious and light filled landing, where a window allows natural light to cascade through the upstairs.
The principal bedroom enjoys a front facing position and benefits from a beautifully designed en-suite shower room.
A second generous double bedroom, also positioned to the front, features a charming fireplace and newly installed dual-aspect double-glazed windows.
Completing the accommodation are a family bathroom, a separate WC, a laundry cupboard, and two further well-proportioned bedrooms.
The property also benefits from ample boarded loft space, offering excellent storage.
Carefully updated by the current owners, the home retains its timeless period character while enjoying the advantages of modern gas central heating and new double-glazed windows to the front elevation and upper floor.
Externally, the property is approached through impressive double gates, opening onto a substantial driveway providing parking for several vehicles, alongside a double carport and access to a single garage.
The front garden is attractively laid to lawn and framed by mature shrubs, enhancing the sense of privacy and arrival.
To the side, a delightful courtyard garden offers an intimate space for alfresco dining or quiet relaxation.
The rear garden is equally impressive, featuring a covered outdoor dining area, a tranquil pond with waterfall, and a generously sized external office, ideal for home working.
Laid mainly to lawn with an additional patio area, the garden provides an exceptional setting for entertaining and family enjoyment.
Despite its traditional charm, the property is exceptionally well connected.
Princes Risborough train station, within walking distance, offers direct services to London Marylebone in under 45 minutes, as well as connections to Oxford and Birmingham, while the M40 and A41 provide swift access to the national motorway network.
The nearby town centre offers an excellent range of shops, leisure facilities and everyday amenities, together with a strong selection of both state and independent schools, including the highly regarded Aylesbury and Wycombe Grammar Schools.
