Ricketts Farmhouse is a handsome period end-of-terrace home set on a substantial plot overlooking Wheeler End Common, about four miles north of Marlow. The house retains character features — exposed beams, leaded light windows and brick fireplaces — and offers versatile family accommodation across two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and three double bedrooms. The large west-facing garden and substantial garage suit families, hobby gardeners and those needing storage or a workshop.
Practical details include oil-fired central heating, off-street parking for two cars and easy access to the M40 for commuting. Local schools include two outstanding secondaries within reasonable distance and several good primary schools nearby, making this a sensible choice for families. The hamlet setting provides very low crime, good mobile signal and a rural lifestyle with nearby amenities such as a village inn and equestrian facilities.
Notable negatives are factual: the property runs on oil central heating (higher running costs and fuel storage), the EPC is not yet confirmed, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband speeds are average for the area and the house sits in a semi-rural hamlet, which may not suit buyers who need fast urban transport links or regular public transport. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, character and garden.
Overall, this is a well-proportioned period home for a buyer seeking a character property on a large plot in a peaceful countryside setting, with scope to modernise energy systems and personalise interior finishes.
