Period character, large garden and summerhouse overlooking the village cricket meadow..
Renovated Victorian semi-detached cottage, three bedrooms
Set in the Chilterns' countryside and overlooking the village cricket green, this renovated Victorian semi offers comfortable family living and strong village appeal. The house sits on approximately 0.27 acres of established garden with mature trees, patios and a summerhouse that doubles as a home office. Off-street parking for several cars and tranquil views give it real lifestyle value for family buyers.
Internally the cottage blends period charm with modern upgrades: three bedrooms, a sitting room with an exposed beam and wood-burning stove, a kitchen/dining room with an electric Aga, plus a ground-floor shower room and a refurbished first-floor bathroom. A timber ladder/stairs lead to a useful roof-space room currently used as a bedroom, adding flexible space for family use or guests.
Practical features include double-glazed cottage-style windows, a wood pellet boiler and additional wood-burning stoves. Broadband speeds are fast and the hamlet has very low crime, making it well suited to home working and a safe environment for children. Good local primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, and the property sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Buyers should note some important considerations: the house is of solid brick construction with assumed no wall insulation, the main fuel is oil (not community supply), and council tax is described as quite expensive. Although extensively refurbished over the last decade, further energy-efficiency improvements (wall insulation, heating system review) may be worthwhile to reduce running costs.
Overall this is a large, characterful family cottage with mature gardens, flexible accommodation and excellent village setting. It will particularly suit buyers seeking countryside lifestyle with scope to tailor energy and insulation upgrades to their preferences.
