A beautifully presented grade II listed detached farmhouse of exceptional charm and historic character, occupying a lovely village setting at the foot of the Chiltern Hills
The Old Farmhouse - The Old Farmhouse is a beautiful Grade II listed detached home, full of character and located in a peaceful semi-rural setting. The property boasts 4 bedrooms and a family bathroom, offering ample space spread over two floors.
Inside, the entrance hall with a cloakroom off leads through to the spacious kitchen that opens up to the dining room, with access via the convenient utility area to the stable style back door. The kitchen has a wooden floor, painted wooden drawer units with a solid surface resin worksurface, a built in Neff oven, dishwasher and induction hob. There is also a large central island/breakfast bar.
The sitting room features a cosy wood burner and patio doors that open out to the pretty garden. There is also a study/play room, ideal for those working from home. Upstairs, the principal bedroom offers a range of fitted wardrobes and overlooks the garden, along with the guest bedroom. Two additional bedrooms provide ample space for a growing family or guests. The family bathroom is elegantly designed, featuring a walk-in shower and bath.
Outside - Set back from the road, the property is accessed through an oak gate, leading you to a spacious gravel driveway with ample parking space for several vehicles. The garage, complete with power and light, provides additional convenience.
The rear garden, boasting a Westerly aspect, is mainly laid to lawn and is bordered by mature trees, including two magnificent Cooper Beeches, creating a tranquil and private retreat. In addition, there is a well-stocked vegetable garden, a thatched wooden gazebo with electricity, and a convenient pedestrian gate leading to the village park and cricket field.
Britwell Salome - Britwell Salome is a very pretty village and occupies a lovely position at the foot of the Chiltern Hills towards which it enjoys some glorious views and good access to the Ridgeway Path.
