A charming detached cottage tucked away in simply stunning private gardens of about half an acre.
Little Chestnuts is probably late 19th Century in origin evolving over the years into a quite delightful and much treasured family home. Now requiring general modernisation this is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a blank canvas and create something special in this exceptional setting.
A porch leads into the main reception hall with a useful study area and the staircase leading up to the first floor. The triple aspect sitting room has, we believe, the original open fireplace and casement doors out to the garden. Triple folding doors open into the dining room which allows the two rooms to be opened up when entertaining. The dining room also overlooks the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is a generous space, off which is a rear hall with a cloakroom and utility room. There is also a door connecting through to the double garage.
On the first floor there is a lovely main bedroom with a balcony overlooking the garden and an ensuite bathroom. There are four further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a long driveway and offers complete privacy on all sides. The drive culminates in a large gravel parking and turning area in front of the double garage.
The gardens are absolutely fabulous and clearly testament to the owner's passion and imagination. A wide expanse of lawn stretches away from the house with well stocked shrub borders, including a pond and interspersed with colourful beds, all enclosed by mature hedging. At the rear of the property is a lovely paved terrace with an adjoining garden shed.
LOCATION
Tucked away in a quite wonderful private setting, the property is just a short distance from the village centre, with its variety of shops, including a Sainsburys Local, a post office and leisure centre. Nearby Great Missenden boasts an eclectic mix of shops and a mainline station to London Marylebone (40 minutes fast train). Amersham and High Wycombe provide a wider range of shops and amenities with the M40 junction 4 approximately 7 miles away.
There are numerous footpaths and bridleways in the area making the most of the glorious Chilterns countryside. The area is well served for schooling of all ages and falls into the catchment for the grammar and high schools.
