A Grade II Listed originally 16th-century five bedroom farmhouse with later alterations and subsequent modernisation in a village setting on a plot of nearly 3 acres with private courtyard parking at the front and side, terraced lawned gardens with a garden room, as well as paddock land with equestrian potential with panoramic views over open countryside towards the Chiltern Hills. This traditional timber framed and brick farmhouse was probably built in the late 16th century and altered over the next few centuries with the addition of two central staircases and two gabled wings facing onto the drive. The unusual external buttressing and internal beams, inglenook fireplaces and original doors tell a story of centuries of craftsmanship and historical repurposing. The current owners have undertaken extensive restoration work, including stripping original floor boards on the first floor and renovating beams in the family room, as well as adding modern oak floors, new bathrooms, a contemporary kitchen, and a conservatory so that the house works effectively as a family home. But it is the views from the front through the traditional leaded windows of three bedrooms, three receptions areas, and from the south-facing lawns of the garden that dictate the character of the house - vistas across open Buckinghamshire farmland towards the distant Chiltern Hills.
