Description
An extended 18th-century five bedroom detached house with an updated interior, with three reception rooms and three bath or shower rooms, with an enclosed established garden, driveway parking and versatile outbuildings in a noted Buckinghamshire village. Pine Cottage has been extended over two periods in a style sympathetic to the original cottage, creating a family home that is spacious whilst retaining a connection with its history. It has a painted pebble dash render under a slate tile roof. A recent extension created a triple aspect, open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining/family room with underfloor heating as well as a fifth bedroom and a dressing room and new en suite facilities for the principal bedroom. The sitting room has original bay windows, exposed 18th century oak timbers, and an open fireplace. The ground floor also includes an entrance hall with a two piece cloakroom, a snug, and a utility room with handmade Martin Moore units.
Upstairs, five double bedrooms lead off the first floor landing, including two with en suite bath/shower rooms, and there is a three piece family bathroom.
Other notable features include CAT 6 cabling, a new boiler and plumbing (2017), and an open loft area with two retractable ladders.
Kitchen/Breakfast/Family/Dining Room The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke units with marble worktops by a local architectural joinery company and has integrated appliances by Miele, Siemens, and Bosch. There is also a large central breakfast and storage island. Beneath a moulded mantel with an extractor above is a Lacanche Range oven with a mirrored splashback. There are USB sockets and recessed LED lighting. The room, with porcelain flooring throughout, is open plan to the dining/family area with French doors to the garden.
Outside A block pavour and gravelled drive provides ample parking for a number of vehicles. A five bar gate on one side opens to the formal lawned area at the rear and a large porcelain tiled terrace that runs the full width of the house and is the perfect spot for al fresco dining and entertaining. There is fencing and hedging along the borders and a high degree of seclusion because the property backs onto a private paddock area.
Outbuildings There are a number of outbuildings. The office is a conversion of the original garage and has power and insulation. The timber-constructed workshop is located at the foot of the garden, also with power connected.
