3 bedroom country house for sale

Jon-Paul Brampton presents...Church Farm House, a 17th Century Grade II Listed, thatched three bedroom family home, in an idyllic location with character galore. 

the property

Dating back to the 1600's this family home offers an abundance of character charm whilst presenting some spacious accommodation for modern family life. All this and it is located in the picturesque Buckinghamshire village of Aston Abbotts with a prime position overlooking the sensational Church of St James the Great. 

The living space on the ground floor is arranged with a two good size reception rooms to the front; the living room with a large inglenook fireplace and a good size dining room for those formal occasions. Here, as with almost all of the house, the period features really are at the forefront of the home. Sumptuous structural beams, the skeleton of the property, are on display throughout. Preserved and maintained to high level for future custodians to enjoy. 

The country style kitchen/diner to the rear is really the hub of the home. Centred around an AGA range cooker this is period living at its finest. Ample space for a large table and chairs with plenty of cupboard and worktop space. A dual aspect room with views over the rear garden and side courtyard. Imagine consuming a hearty Sunday roast in this home! 

From a practical perspective there is a separate utility room with access out onto the side courtyard, a pleasant, low maintenance space you could imagine enjoying a morning coffee in. As well as a downstairs WC for comfort. 

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms. The main bedroom is extraordinary. Large in size and benefitting from vaulted ceilings to really create a wow factor. There are two further bedrooms to the front and a family shower room. Again the historic beams, the wooden fabric of this building are on display to see. But do watch your head, or Duck or Grouse as they say in these parts, as these homes were definitely designed for our more vertically challenged predecessors. But that's what these homes are all about, the history, the charm, the sense of drama and custodianship. 

There is a further open tread staircase that leads up to a loft room. An utterly useful space, ideal for a study with bundles of room for loft storage. It also offers a sensational vantage point over the Church opposite and its grounds. 

Externally there is a gated driveway to the rear of the property with a gravelled area for parking. This leads directly into the pretty and well maintained rear garden.  There is also an additional paved courtyard garden accessed via the utility room. A large double garage sits the other side of the next door cottage. Time has seen these homes adapted and changed and at one point it was one larger dwelling. The garage has an up and over door and offers workspace as well as parking. 

All in all a sensational home with bags of character and charm. But please do not just take my word for it! Browse the photos, read the description and watch the video tour. Then, if you think this could be the home for you please get in touch with me to arrange a viewing.
