Tucked away down a quiet lane near Saunderton, this substantial five-bedroom detached home sits within roughly 4.15 acres of grounds — a 1.15 acre formal garden plus an adjoining 3 acre paddock. The house blends 1920s Tudor Revival character with generous modern living: a vaulted, triple-aspect kitchen/family room with underfloor heating and bi-fold doors, four reception rooms, a triple garage and two outbuildings providing flexible leisure or ancillary accommodation (permitted development scope). The result is a versatile rural house with excellent privacy and long-distance countryside views.
The accommodation is presented for immediate family living: principal bedroom with walk-in dressing room and underfloor-heated ensuite, two further ensuite facilities, a main family bathroom and plentiful storage. Practical features include a separate utility room, cellar with wine storage, oil-fired boiler and radiator heating, double glazing, and good driveway parking. Rail and road connections to London and the M40 are within easy reach for commuter convenience.
Notable points to consider: the property uses private sewage, there is an uplift clause on the paddock, and main heating runs on oil — all important for running costs and future maintenance. The house dates from the 1920s with later additions; while the kitchen/family room is recently modernised, other areas will require ongoing upkeep consistent with older period houses. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Buyers should verify planning status for the leisure buildings if specific use as self-contained units is required.
This home will suit families seeking space, countryside privacy and hobby-agricultural potential, or buyers wanting a large period property with modern entertaining spaces and further scope to personalise and invest.
