The location is a major draw for families who want a semi-rural feel while staying well connected. The house overlooks a tree-lined green and is a short walk from Downley Common, local shops and village amenities. Road links to the M40 (J4) and High Wycombe station (regular trains to London Marylebone under 30 minutes) make commuting straightforward. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent.
Practical points to note: there is only one bathroom for four bedrooms, and council tax sits in Band F (expensive). The EPC rating is not provided. Nearby school options are mixed — the local Downley School is rated Inadequate by Ofsted, while several highly regarded grammar and independent schools (including The Royal Grammar School and Wycombe Abbey) are within reach. No flood risk is recorded and the area is affluent with low crime, but prospective buyers should factor in potential upgrades or additions to bathroom provision and confirm energy-efficiency details.
Overall, this property will suit growing families seeking flexible internal space, sunny outdoor living and strong transport links, with scope to personalise and add value where desired.
