A rare Grade II listed family home set in just over an acre, Wards combines 17th-century character with practical family living. The handcrafted dual-aspect kitchen and generous reception rooms make the house ideal for everyday family life and entertaining; a self-contained bedroom above the kitchen works well for an au pair or teenage retreat. The south-facing garden, mature fruit trees, pond and former grass tennis court create flexible outdoor space for children and hobbies.
Three double bedrooms on the first floor plus a grand master suite with dressing room and ensuite occupy the upper floors, while the snug, dining room and wood-burning stove provide cosy, traditional living spaces. Useful outbuildings include a separate home office with WC, traditional granary (many potential uses), garden store, dog kennels, garage, carport and tractor store — suited to equestrian or smallholding interests and storage needs.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the property is Grade II listed, which may restrict alterations and will cause additional consent requirements and potential costs. Heating is oil-fired and drainage is via private sewerage; council tax is described as quite expensive. Mobile and broadband speeds are average for the area, and the village location favours car or rail commuting via nearby High Wycombe and the M40.
Radnage offers excellent countryside amenities: bridleways, footpaths, a village school rated Good, and nearby senior schools including selective and independent options. For buyers seeking a historic, characterful country home with substantial grounds and outbuildings, this house offers immediate liveability plus scope to personalise — but allow for listed-building constraints and running-cost considerations.
