The Common, Penn, Buckinghamshire, HP10

An idyllic village home full of character and charm, nestled in the heart of a sought-after Chiltern village, perfectly placed for local amenities and excellent commuter links.


Period character meets contemporary living. The entrance hall leads into this delightful family home, which has been beautifully maintained and presented by the current owners. At the rear, the main sitting room enjoys views of the garden, with double doors opening onto the patio. This principal reception room features a fireplace with a wood-burning stove. Adjacent is the family room, a characterful space with a vaulted ceiling and UV-protected bi-fold doors to the garden. Currently used as a home office, it is generously sized and equally suited as a second reception room.

From the hall, you move through the snug, complete with a square bay window, ornamental fireplace, and stairs rising to the first floor, before reaching the open-plan kitchen/dining room. With ample space for a dining table and chairs, this light-filled room enjoys a pleasant double aspect and casement doors opening onto the garden and patio. The kitchen, designed to complement the character of the property, offers a range of painted shaker style cabinets with work surfaces, an integrated dishwasher, and a range-style cooker. A door also provides access to the front of the property.

The left side of the ground floor also provides flexible accommodation, including a study and a fourth bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and utility room beyond, suitable for guests or multi-generational living.

Upstairs, a galleried landing with double aspect windows leads to the principal bedroom, a generous room with a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite shower room, fitted with a shower cubicle, wash basin, and WC. There are two further bedrooms and a family bathroom featuring a classic roll-top bath and a frameless glass shower cubicle.
