Spacious period home with annexe and potential for modernisation.
Almost one-acre private plot with far-reaching countryside views
Built c.1900 by H J & A Wright, this handsome Arts & Crafts detached house sits in almost an acre of highly private grounds with far-reaching countryside views. The principal reception rooms create a sweeping entertaining sequence — dining room through French doors to a triple-aspect drawing room with an open marble-surround fire — while an open-plan breakfast room and kitchen suit everyday family life. Period details such as oak doors, dado rails and exposed beams add character throughout.
A self-contained annexe at the eastern end provides flexible accommodation: kitchen/utility, sitting room with French doors to a deck, bedroom, wet room and a light mezzanine. Practical features include an electrically operated gated entrance, wide shingle drive, detached double garage and space to reinstate a tennis court on the slightly sunken lawn.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: the house is of solid brick construction and, as-built, has no cavity insulation (upgrade likely required), broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is described as very expensive. The property is chain-free and sits close to strong local schools and footpaths, with Great Missenden station and major road links within easy reach — appealing to families wanting space, privacy and period character.
Overall this is a rare, substantial family home in an affluent village setting, offering immediate liveability and scope to modernise services and energy performance to suit contemporary living.
