Character cottage with gardens, garage and family-friendly layout in peaceful Speen.
Four double bedrooms including principal en‑suite and built‑in wardrobes
Halcyon Cottage is a four-bedroom country craftsman cottage in the quiet hamlet of Speen, set within a small cul‑de‑sac and offering authentic period character with modern comforts. Built by an award-winning local builder, it features exposed beams, leaded picture windows, latch doors and a cosy inglenook fireplace with a log burner — ideal for families seeking character and comfort.
The ground floor offers a double-aspect sitting room, separate dining room and a country kitchen with integrated ovens and adjacent utility. Upstairs are four good-sized bedrooms including a principal suite with built-in wardrobes and en‑suite shower; a family bathroom retains its original three-piece suite. The layout suits family life, home working and guests, with bedroom four currently used as an office.
Outside, the property’s well‑landscaped front and rear gardens are a standout: mature planting, two seating areas, lawn and a walled front garden create private outdoor space. Practical benefits include a large double garage with utility area and a generous paved driveway for multiple cars.
Notable considerations: some rooms have relatively low ceilings and the sitting room is compact compared with the overall footprint. Broadband speeds are average for the area and council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall the house blends period charm with useful modern amenities on a decent plot in a very low‑crime, affluent village setting.
