One of the first cottages to be built on the road linking Penn and Hazlemere, Pear Tree Cottage was built in 1856 and is a very charming example of a modernised Victorian home, with a number of well-preserved character features. These include a bottle well – formerly the only source of water when the cottage and its neighbours were built, and an exposed brick fireplace with a multi fuel burner. Modern additions include a conservatory with underfloor heating, a kitchen extension with a Britannia range cooker and an updated family bathroom with fitted shutters. The pretty red brick cottage is well placed for commuter links and access into the Common Wood to the rear, where there are many walking trails to enjoy.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a beautiful family bath/shower room on the first floor, with a further double bedroom on the second floor ideal for visiting guests.
Outside
Pear Tree Cottage is approached via a shared gravel driveway with parking for as many as four cars in front of the house as well as access to the single garage. Mature hedging to the front provides a high degree of privacy and there is an impressive willow tree overlooked by the reception room. The well-maintained rear garden is designed in a low-maintenance style, including a central lawn enclosed by slate chipping pathways and raised borders stocked with a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers. There is also a built-in barbecue, a potting shed and a paved seating area perfectly positioned for capturing the sun.
Situation
The property offers convenient access to a variety of amenities in Penn and Tylers Green including a village store, tea rooms and a choice of public houses. Local schooling includes the popular Tylers Green first and middle schools, with renowned schools in the surrounding areas including highly regarded grammar schools, Davenies in Beaconsfield itself as well as The Royal Grammar School and John Hampden in High Wycombe. Girls’ schools include High March preparatory school and Beaconsfield High School. The area has many recreational facilities offering a wide selection of sporting and leisure pursuits. Beaconsfield New Town (3.9 miles) is conveniently positioned for access to restaurants and amenities including the main line station providing a direct link to London Marylebone, with the shortest journey taking approximately 30 minutes. Junction 2 of the M40 can be found just the other side of the historic Old Town of Beaconsfield giving access to the M25 motorway network, London, Heathrow, Oxford and Birmingham.
