Idyllic rural position with excellent commuter links to London.
18th-century detached cottage with generous, flexible living space
Larch Cottage is an 18th-century detached village home set on a generous, well-established plot of about 0.13 acres. The house offers four bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms across approximately 1,867 sq ft, with a detached double garage and ample off-street parking. Its elevated position adjoins open countryside and delivers outstanding rural views — a strong appeal for buyers seeking privacy and a countryside lifestyle.
The interior is spacious and bright, with a long sitting room, large dining room with exposed beams and an adaptable kitchen/utility layout. The current plan, originally two cottages and later a village pub and shop, provides flexible living space and scope to reconfigure or extend the kitchen and living areas to suit modern family needs.
The property is offered with vacant possession but does need some updating and renovation internally. There are sensible maintenance considerations: cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, the house dates from the 18th century with later extensions, and some internal modernisation would improve energy efficiency and comfort. Council tax is noted as quite expensive.
Practical transport links are a benefit for commuters: the M40 (junctions 5 and 6) is a short drive, and Princes Risborough and Haddenham & Thame Parkway stations provide services to London Marylebone in under 40 minutes. Local schools rated Good are within reach, and the village setting at the foot of the Chilterns will suit families or buyers seeking a rural base with decent commuter access.
