Great Kingshill, Buckinghamshire

A quite exquisite Grade II Listed cottage set in six acres of beautiful private gardens and grounds.

This enchanting cottage dates in origin from the late 17th and early 18th Century, having been sympathetically added to over the years, now creating very versatile accommodation. This really is a simply wonderful and much-loved family home, which is just the perfect environment for a growing family.

The front door opens into a generous reception hall where you are immediately struck by the beauty of the exposed timbers and uncharacteristically good ceiling heights. The kitchen is well appointed and equipped, leading through to a lovely double aspect family room with doors opening out to the garden. The well-proportioned dining room has a lovely inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove. The comfortable sitting room leads through to the study and a ground floor bedroom with adjoining shower room.

There are two staircases to the first floor, where the principal bedroom suite has a dressing area and ensuite bathroom. There are two further bedrooms on this floor, together with a dressing room and family bathroom.

The studio is a wonderfully light space, making a marvelous home office or art studio, it does however have all the required services to create a completely self-contained annexe with its own private paved garden.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a long gravel driveway culminating in a parking and turning area, then branching off round to the stable block and double garage with further parking for a trailer or horsebox. There is a paddock to the front and another to the rear

The gardens are quite simply a delight with an enclosed and screened front garden, laid to lawn with a lavender flanked pathway to the front door. To the rear there is a large, paved terrace adjoining a magnificent Koi pond and fountain, with a circular stream that runs within the beautifully tendered garden.
