Six double bedrooms with two en suites and multiple reception rooms
Peppetts Cottage is a substantial, newly renovated six-bedroom country house set within around 2.9 acres in the Chilterns AONB. The house combines character features — a brick inglenook fireplace and exposed beams — with a modern Shaker-style kitchen and generous reception spaces designed for family life and entertaining. Extensive terraces, mature specimen trees and paddocks with four loose-box stables make the grounds ideal for equestrian use, gardening or further landscaping.
The layout suits multigenerational living: principal and guest suites both have en suites, and the ground floor offers flexible rooms including a library/music room, snug/study, boot and laundry rooms. The property has a large detached triple garage with a room above and substantial parking and turning areas, supporting trailers or horseboxes. Good local schools and direct rail links to London make this a practical country commuter base.
Buyers should note a few material facts: the house is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) with assumed no wall insulation, double glazing installed before 2002, and oil-fired boiler and radiators as the main heating and fuel source. Council tax is very expensive. While the house has been modernised throughout and offers scope to develop further, any significant alterations or additions will be subject to planning and listed/consent constraints that should be checked.
This property will suit families needing space, buyers seeking equestrian facilities, or those looking for a substantial rural home with immediate move-in condition and scope to personalise. It balances period charm and contemporary living but retains running-cost and upgrade considerations typical of large country houses.
