Summary - THE SMITHY, 43, HIGH STREET HP18 9AL
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Period charm with modern extension, large garden and annexe potential.
Grade II Listed family home — listing restricts some alterations
An exceptional Grade II Listed family home marrying period charm with contemporary living in Long Crendon. The Smithy offers three double bedrooms plus a study/guest room, two bathrooms and a recently remodelled kitchen/dining extension that opens onto an upper terrace and a large, beautifully landscaped rear garden. The house retains original features — exposed stone walls, beams and an impressive inglenook with a substantial wood burner — alongside high-quality integrated appliances and a bright modern sun room.
Finished to a high standard throughout, the property is largely newly renovated and benefits from practical extras: off-street parking, a utility room, cloakroom and superb digital connectivity with very fast broadband and strong mobile signal. Under the decking are foundations that meet building regs, providing a permitted base for a home office or annexe (application ref: 24/01065/VRC) — a useful opportunity for flexible living or rental income.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II Listed building. The listing will restrict some alterations and may complicate further extension or structural changes; any works will require listed building consent. The original thatched/low-ceiling cottage areas mean some rooms are cosier and less adaptable than the new extension. Council Tax Band G applies.
Set on the historic High Street in a highly sought village with good local shops, pubs and strong school links (primary and routes to highly regarded grammar and private schools), The Smithy suits families seeking character, space and practicality within commuting distance of Oxford and the Chiltern line to London.
