Summary - 4 WHITE HORSE LANE WHITCHURCH AYLESBURY HP22 4JZ
2 bed 2 bath Detached
Character home with large garage, loft and garden in a peaceful village setting.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with original beams and inglenook fireplace
A Grade II listed thatched cottage combining authentic period character with spacious, flexible accommodation. Original features such as exposed timbers and an inglenook fireplace give strong historic charm, while a later single-storey extension provides an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room and practical day-to-day living space. The large detached garage with a boarded loft (accessed by internal spiral staircase) offers substantial storage or a potential home office. The house sits on a no-through lane overlooking the village church and benefits from a decent private rear garden and patio for outdoor living.
This home will suit buyers seeking character and village life rather than a turnkey modern finish. The listed status and thatched roof mean repairs, alterations and insurance require specialist contractors and listed-building consents, which can increase ongoing maintenance costs and limit scope for alteration. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and the property has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) — electrics, insulation and energy efficiency should be checked and may need upgrading.
Practical positives include no upper chain, a generous overall floor area (circa 1,489 sq ft), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working. The location is quiet and affluent with good primary and secondary schooling within reach, low local crime and easy village amenities. Buyers should budget for listed-building maintenance and potential refurbishment works to modernise services while preserving original features.
In short: a character-rich, sizeable two-bedroom cottage in a desirable Buckinghamshire village. It offers scope for sympathetic improvement and flexible use of the garage loft, but requires a buyer comfortable with listed-property responsibilities and older building maintenance.
