Description
This attractive house is set in a superb position in the Chiltern Hills, affording stunning distant countryside views. Set in grounds of about 3.83 acres, Ridge Cottage is a unique small holding that offers a multitude of opportunities.
At the end of a long drive set well back from the road, Ridge Cottage follows a traditional cottage layout with a front porch, leading to a hallway and to the left a large living room, a lovely cosy area running from the front of the house to the rear with double aspect windows and a central fireplace. Beyond the living room is a bright airy conservatory with ample seating and exceptional views across the Chiltern hills to the Saunderton valley below. To the other side of the hall is an L shape dining room that overlooks the front garden with seating for ten people, this leads into the kitchen. The kitchen is a lovely light modern space with floor and wall units, it offers views across the side of the house with a door to the rear. Leading off the kitchen is a handy utility/boot/boiler room. Downstairs is completed by a shower room/WC off the hallway and stairs leading to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom runs the length of the upstairs and is dual-aspect with good storage and excellent views across the valley. There are two further bedrooms both with storage and pretty gable windows. The bathroom overlooks the rear and has a bath tub.
Outside the pretty formal gardens are planted with lawns and lovely cottage herbaceous borders with flowers for all seasons. Climbing roses meander over the outbuildings and to the front is a pretty orchard area. Beyond the formal gardens is a large kitchen garden with greenhouse, polytunnel and agricultural paddocks. Consisting of about 3.83 acres of post and railed flat grazing the paddocks are well drained and ideal for grazing livestock. At the end of the drive is a substantial parking area with a variety of outbuildings, including a large tractor shed/store, a workshop, garaging for numerous cars, three stables and other handy sheds.
