Set on a broad, tree-lined private road, this detached four-bedroom house offers generous family accommodation and easy access to High Wycombe’s grammar schools. The property sits on a substantial wraparound plot with landscaped beds, lawn, decking, greenhouse, pond and an outside bar—ideal for children and entertaining.
The layout works well for multigenerational living: a self-contained guest suite/annexe with its own entrance, underfloor heating and shower room currently used as an office could suit older relatives or long-stay guests. The main living spaces include an open-plan sitting/dining room with a large picture window, a light-filled garden room, and a well-equipped kitchen with adjoining utility area.
Practical positives include a wide driveway and covered parking, double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas heating with underfloor zones, and just over a mile to High Wycombe station for fast services to London and Birmingham. The location also places you within easy reach of excellent state and independent schools and local green spaces including The Rye.
Buyers should note some material drawbacks: the property has an EPC rating of D and is described as constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s, so further energy upgrades or modernisation may be desirable. Council tax is quite expensive and recorded local crime levels are very high, which may influence some purchasers. All mains services are connected but have not been tested. A modest annual private road service charge of about £160 applies.
