Beechwood Lane, Wendover, HP22

A delightful detached cottage in simply spectacular gardens tucked away in a location which must be one of the village’s best kept secrets.

This charming brick and flint property originally started life in the late 19th Century as a pair of cottages and for a number of years formed part of RAF Halton, before being converted into a single dwelling. The current owners have significantly enhanced the accommodation which is exceptionally well presented and have indulged their passion by creating a simply stunning garden for all seasons.

ACCOMMODATION

The front door opens into the reception hall off which is a cloakroom, the all important utility room and internal access to the double garage. The kitchen/breakfast room is comprehensively fitted incorporating granite work surfaces and a full range of integrated appliances. The main living room is a lovely generous space with the central fireplace as the focal point, double casement doors out to the garden and another set through to the conservatory. There is a generous formal dining room and a comfortable study overlooking the garden.

On the first floor there is a master bedroom with plenty of fitted wardrobe space and a recently refitted ensuite shower room. There are four further well-proportioned bedrooms and a well-appointed, refitted, family bathroom.

OUTSIDE

The property is approached via a 400-metre single track lane, through gates, to a large gravel driveway providing ample parking, leading to the double garage with a large up and over electric door. The gardens are an absolute picture and a real testament to the owners’ passion, having created multiple borders containing a wide variety of mature plants and trees providing interest throughout the seasons, and a beautiful cascading water feature with a pond at the base. The three lawns are ideal for play, or rest and contemplation. There is a high-spec greenhouse with cold-frame, and a shed for storage, with multiple electric points in the garden and greenhouse.

Wrapped around the rear of the cottage is an Italian porcelain paved terrace, ideal for entertaining. The property also benefits from external lighting. There is a high degree of privacy all round and the added bonus of being adjacent to Wendover Woods, which provides some fabulous walks.

LOCATION

Situated just under half a mile from the village centre, Beechwood Cottage stands adjacent to the spectacular wooded escarpment leading up to Wendover Woods, which offers a wonderful network of walks. With its eclectic mix of shops, pubs and restaurants, Wendover is without doubt one of the prettiest high streets in the Chilterns. There are numerous clubs and recreational facilities in the village including tennis, squash and bowls. The Chiltern Line is within walking distance and offers an excellent reliable service to London Marylebone (45 mins), whilst access to the M25 can be found via the A41(M) at Tring, or alternatively the M40 at High Wycombe.
