Nestled in the heart of Church End, arguably the most picturesque and historic quarter of Haddenham, this stunningly renovated three-bedroom detached cottage offers a rare blend of period charm and sophisticated modern living.
Positioned just a short stroll from the iconic village pond and the 12th-century St Mary’s Church, the property places you at the center of a vibrant community frequently cited as one of the best places to live in the country.
The Heart of the Home
The ground floor has been reimagined for the modern family. The stunningly renovated kitchen/diner and family area serves as the social hub of the home, perfect for everything from quiet morning coffees to hosting lively dinner parties. For those working from home, the separate office provides a quiet sanctuary away from the main living areas.
After a long day, retreat to the gorgeous living room, which radiates warmth and comfort. The addition of stylish downstairs bathrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom upstairs ensures that every practical need is met with luxury.
Outdoor Elegance
The lifestyle extends seamlessly outdoors. The garden has been landscaped to a high standard, creating a private oasis for alfresco dining or weekend relaxation. To the front, the long shingled drive not only adds to the cottage's curb appeal but provides that rare village luxury: ample off-street parking.
