Green Hailey, Princes Risborough, HP27

This property provides an idyllic rural retreat with stunning views over fields and the surrounding beech woods of the Chiltern Hills and yet is just 1.4 miles from the shops and amenities of Princes Risborough. The original brick and flint farmhouse was built circa 1870 and the 1969 extension is perfectly in keeping, creating a highly attractive and versatile family home.
Formal entry to the house is via the reception hall and leads to the triple aspect sitting room with a Jetmaster fire and a large picture window overlooking the gardens, and a door to the front terrace. The remaining reception rooms are in the older part of the house and comprise the dual aspect snug with an open fire at one end and the dining room, kitchen, utility and pantry at the other. The dining room features a splendid inglenook fireplace with quarry tiles and a timber above. Pine units and an oil-fired Aga add to the character of the kitchen whilst the utility room works as a secondary kitchen with an integrated Neff oven and a walk-in pantry.
Rising to the first floor from the reception hall, the split level staircase opens to a wide landing and four bedrooms with the fifth currently serving as a study. This, however, would work well as a dressing room as it adjoins the principal bedroom. The bedrooms offer magnificent, far-reaching views. There is a family bathroom as well as a shower room and two of the bedrooms have washbasins.

Outside

The property is accessed via a large paved courtyard offering plenty of parking space. A stable block to the left comprises four individual stables, at present used for storage. A large timbered barn to the right serves as a three-car garage and also a workshop and storage. Subject to the usual planning consents, this would make fabulous annexe accommodation if desired. The well established landscaped gardens and grounds are well maintained and the extensive areas of lawn contain a number of mature specimen trees. There is a separate fenced paddock area.

Situation

Located in an elevated position near a highly sought-after Chiltern market town, the property enjoys a great degree of privacy. The Hampden Estate manages much of the surrounding land, which ensures that the area retains its appeal. Princes Risborough (1.4 miles distant) offers a selection of supermarkets and independent shops, hairdressers and two doctors’ practices as well as a train service to London Marylebone in approximately 42 minutes. The area is served by an extensive network of public footpaths and bridle paths with several nearby pubs. Buckinghamshire is renowned for its state (including grammar) and private education, details of which may be obtained from the local authority.
