A PERIOD FARMHOUSE IN NEED OF MODERNISATION AND LYING ON THE EDGE OF THIS ATTRACTIVE STONE VILLAGE WITH TRADITIONAL OUTBUILDINGS OFFERING POTENTIAL
Dated from the 17th Century with later additions, this Grade II Listed farmhouse enjoys a peaceful position lying on the edge of this sought after North Buckinghamshire village with views across to the village to the front and backing onto farmland to the rear.
In need of modernisation, the farmhouse is constructed of stone under a thatched roof with more recent side and rear extensions in stone under a slate roof. The farmhouse provides great family accommodation over three floors. Attached to the farmhouse is a substantial traditional stone barn that could potentially be incorporated to create the most stunning kitchen/dining/family room or equally converted into an independent annexe / party barn.
The property as a whole offers tremendous potential in a most delightful setting and a viewing will be essential to fully appreciate all that is on offer.
THE ACCOMMODATION
A pebbled path leads up to the panelled front door which opens into the reception hall and inner hall with understairs cupboard.
The split level main reception room offers sitting and dining ends and overlooks the front garden with working wooden shutters and stone fireplace at either end. The vaulted kitchen/breakfast room lies to the rear of the farmhouse and enjoys a double aspect with views over the rear garden and orchard. The Shaker kitchen lies at one end with matching dresser unit and integral appliances include Bosch double oven with four ring hob and Lamona dishwasher. The sink has its own electric Ariston hot water heater. Lying off the kitchen is the generous cloakroom and pantry with electric consumer unit on one wall.
To the right of the reception hall is the exposed wooden floored family room with stone fireplace and beyond is the tiled floor utility room and rear porch.
FIRST FLOOR
The staircase gently rises to the first floor landing with three double bedrooms enjoying attractive views across to the village. The principal bedroom benefits from original cast iron fireplace, built in wardrobes and a large en suite bathroom with separate shower cubicle with airing cupboard housing a hot water cylinder. The middle bedroom has fitted wardrobes and the end bedroom an original fireplace with pedestal sink to one side. At the end of the landing is a well proportioned family bathroom.
SECOND FLOOR
A staircase gently rises up to this floor providing access to two further double bedrooms, both having eaves storage.
GARDEN AND GROUNDS
The front garden is set behind a stone wall with area of lawn and mature shrubs and a path leads round to the southwest facing kitchen garden and orchard. The main garden lies to the rear being well protected and laid to lawn with concrete seating and dining area running along the rear of the farmhouse. The garden backs onto farmland and is overlooked by a further traditional stone outbuilding currently divided into three rooms and offering potential to be converted. A concrete path leads back round to the courtyard.
THE COURTYARD
To the east of the farmhouse lies the courtyard featuring two traditional stone barns with concrete apron in between. The principal thatched barn is attached to the house and offers great potential to be incorporated or provide self-contained accommodation subject to obtaining the relevant consents. Opposite is a single storey range that currently offers garaging, workshop and store room.
