Summary - Stable Cottage At Elmhurst, High Street HP16 9AA
1 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain free one-bed with large shared grounds and station access.
One bedroom, one bathroom cottage requiring full modernisation
Set in the heart of Great Missenden, this one-bedroom semi-detached cottage combines period character with clear scope for improvement. Exposed beams, dormer windows and a brick façade create a charming base for someone wanting to personalise a long-term home. The property is chain free and offers a generous share of landscaped grounds in a very affluent village setting.
Practical benefits include off-street parking in the Elmhurst car park, an integral garage currently used as living space, and easy walking distance to local shops, cafes and the rail station (services to London Marylebone). The home is gas‑heated with a boiler and radiators, double glazing (installed before 2002) and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — convenient for daily life and remote working.
Important drawbacks are clear: the cottage requires renovation and decoration throughout, and the layout is small with just one bedroom and one bathroom. Council tax is described as expensive, and some original fittings and the older double glazing will likely need updating. The garage conversion and shared garden arrangements should be checked if separate ownership or planning changes are intended.
For a first-time buyer or someone downsizing who values village life and station access, this property offers a rare opportunity to buy freehold on a large plot and create a bespoke, characterful home in a sought-after location.
