3 bedroom detached house for sale

Quintessential Grade II listed brick and flint house, full of character and occupying an idyllic semi-rural location.

Description

Nestling in the heart of the Chilterns countryside this quintessential Grade II listed brick and flint home dates back to about the 17th century with sympathetic later additions. The property occupies an idyllic position, surrounded by countryside yet with the security of neighbours nearby and only about a mile and a half from the historic National Trust Village of West Wycombe. This charming home is brimming with character features with an array of exposed beams and beautiful period fireplaces.

Chawley Green Farm offers beautifully presented and characterful accommodation throughout Both the drawing and dining rooms are impressive spaces, heavily beamed with feature inglenook fireplaces and enjoy a dual aspect with views over the gardens. French doors in the drawing room open to the front garden. An inner hallway houses the main oak staircase and a guest cloakroom. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home, opening into the family room and through to the conservatory overlooking the garden. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke Smallbone cabinetry complemented by granite worktops and integrated appliances including an oil fired/electric Aga. There is underfloor heating in both the kitchen and conservatory. An island unit provides further storage and there is ample room for a breakfast table while a stable door opens to the front garden. Just off the kitchen is a fully fitted utility room, again with Smallbone cabinetry and granite worktops. This in turn leads to a boot room and side door to the garden.

Arranged on the first floor are three characterful bedrooms, all with a dual aspect framing lovely views over the garden and beyond. Each bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom and the principal bedroom suite enjoys a sitting area and dressing room. Bedroom three is ideal for visiting friends and family with a dedicated staircase to the drawing room on the ground floor.

Chawley Green Farm enjoys a picturesque setting, set well back from the road with beautiful front and rear gardens framing the house. The extensive front garden is lawned, edged with walling, mature trees and hedging while a central path leads to a walled terrace area spanning the width of the house. The rear garden is a delight, predominantly laid to lawn with far reaching views over the rolling countryside. The garden is well enclosed with post and rail fencing alongside yew hedging providing privacy. A terrace area, accessed from the conservatory offers an ideal outside dining and entertaining space. In addition is a charming detached summer house, a lovely spot to enjoy the garden but would also be perfect as a home/office.

From the road the gated entrance opens to a gravelled parking area and a two bay car port attached to a large barn garage, with additional vehicular access at the rear. The garage is of excellent proportions and has planning permission to provide two bedroom ancillary accommodation. Ref: 22/07929/FUL.
