Chapel Cottage blends 17th-century character with contemporary family living in the Chiltern Hills. Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and stripped oak floors sit alongside a bespoke oak kitchen, wide family/dining space and impressive full-height sitting room with bi-fold doors to the terrace and garden. The layout suits family life, with a utility room, ground-floor snug/study and flexible room that could become an extra bedroom or home office.
The principal bedroom suite occupies the upper level and benefits from an en suite with roll-top bath and separate shower. Two further double bedrooms, a single bedroom and family bathroom complete the first floor; buyers should note some restricted ceiling and door heights on this level due to the house’s age. The property is double-glazed and benefits from fast broadband, but heating is oil-fired and the original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated.
Outside, the large, well-planted gardens and full-width terrace provide generous outdoor living and entertaining space. A paved drive provides off-street parking for two cars and a 16ft x 10ft insulated summer house offers a useful studio or home-workspace. Speen village provides a friendly, rural community with a village shop, school and playing fields, while Princes Risborough and rail links to London are within easy reach.
This is an attractive home for buyers seeking period charm and versatile family spaces in a peaceful Chiltern location. The property requires awareness of traditional construction issues (solid walls, oil heating and some low headroom) but offers strong lifestyle appeal and scope to personalise further.
