For the commuter, access to the M40 (J6) is within one mile and with British Rail mainline stations at Princes Risborough (seven miles) and High Wycombe (nine miles). The Oxford Tube stop is also less than 1 mile away, with coaches into London and Oxford running regularly 24 hours a day. The area has a number of very well regarded primary and secondary schools, both independent and state.
Originally built as a public house in c.1824, Beacon Cottage is a pretty brick and flint home which has been extended to create the lovely characterful house it is today. Set on the edge of a wonderful garden with paddocks and woods beyond and in an ideal location for the London or Oxford commuter. The accommodation is arranged over two floors with a further cellar and is as shown on the enclosed floorplans. The property is very well presented throughout and retains a wealth of original period features. Of particular note, the wonderful tiled reception hall leading to the pretty sitting room with original fireplace and quarry tiled floor. Opposite is the study with wood flooring and a log burner.
Beyond there is the family room again with wood burner and across the rear of the house with magnificent views over the gardens is the garden/dining room and drawing room, with log burner. Also to the rear of the house is a well proportioned and bespoke fitted kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, utility room and guest cloakroom.
To the first floor is the principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and wonderful views over fields around the property, four further double bedrooms all with their own character and country views, family bathroom and shower room.
Beacon Cottage is approached through a gated driveway onto a gravelled parking area. Alternatively there is a gated driveway at the rear with parking and a large double garage, accessible from The Ridgeway. The beautiful landscaped and private gardens extend to one acre, with a further 1¼ acres of paddock and woodland beyond. French doors open onto a panoramic top terrace overlooking the well-maintained lawns, floral beds and fruit trees below. Steps down past pretty brick and flint walls lead to a sunny lower terrace nestled in the garden itself. Outbuildings include a green house, paddock shelter and two-storey double garage with its own electricity meter and supply, and potential to convert into a studio/annex.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
