A rare Grade II listed thatched farmhouse set in just over three acres, Callowdown Farm blends historic charm with broad countryside views. The timber-framed property retains period features such as inglenook and stone fireplaces, mature orchards and a long private drive — ideal for buyers seeking space, privacy and scope to restore a handsome country home.
The house requires modernisation throughout and is offered with clear renovation potential. Services include mains electricity, private borehole water and private drainage; the oil-fired boiler serves radiators. Note the property has an EPC rating of E, very slow broadband, and an expensive council tax band — practical issues to factor into running costs.
Outbuildings are extensive: a double garage with spacious studio above (balcony), a stable block (in need of repair) and additional stone outbuildings and paddocks. The studio and other buildings offer flexible uses but any structural change or change of use will be constrained by the listed status and will require the usual consents.
For families the location is attractive — peaceful Chilterns setting with good local schools and less than three miles to Princes Risborough station for London services. For buyers wanting a character home with land, this property presents a significant opportunity to create a long-term family estate, holiday base or creative project, provided they are comfortable with restoration and listed-building consent processes.
