Detached period cottage on a large private plot with extension permission and stunning countryside views.
Elevated plot with uninterrupted Chiltern Hills views
Set on a generous, elevated plot on the edge of Flackwell Heath, this detached period cottage offers spacious family living with exceptional Chilterns views. Two dual-aspect reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room open onto mature gardens, creating bright, flexible ground-floor space. The plot’s size, privacy and countryside outlook make it ideal for gardening, children and potential expansion.
Practical benefits include a single garage, ample driveway parking and full planning permission already granted for a two-storey extension (Ref: 23/05516/FUL). Outline permission is also pending for a separate additional dwelling on the land — an opportunity for extended family use or future development, but one that remains subject to the planning decision.
The house is an older solid-brick build with double glazing added after 2002 and oil-fired boiler heating. Buyers should note the walls are likely uninsulated and the property has an EPC band E, so further insulation or energy improvements may be required to reduce running costs. Broadband speeds are slow in the area despite excellent mobile signal.
Located within walking distance of village shops, well-regarded primary schools and countryside trails, the home suits families wanting a village lifestyle with easy access to High Wycombe and Marlow. Council Tax is in band G and will be relatively costly; prospective buyers should factor this and potential retrofit costs into their budget.
