Church Street, Great Missenden

As is traditional with village houses, the front door leads directly into the sitting room. The sitting room and adjacent dining room have been refitted with honey-toned, engineered oak flooring that leads the eye through the house towards the garden. An opening leads through into the dining room which has a feature limestone fireplace and surround containing a recently-installed log burner.

A further opening leads into the kitchen, which is fitted with a bespoke, solid wood, in-frame kitchen painted in a calm shade of cream. Built to make the most of every inch of space, some of the doors conceal clever touches such as a pull out ironing board. Careful planning has made the most of the space under the stairs. The work-surfaces are solid wood, whilst the splash-backs are thought to be traditional, wood-fired, ceramic tiles. The present owners have replaced the appliances including an induction hob, the fan oven, washing machine and dishwasher. The boiler has also been replaced with a new, energy efficient one. French doors from the kitchen lead out to the garden.

Stairs rising from the kitchen lead to the first floor which has two bedroom; a double overlooking the front, and a double aspect, single be bedroom overlooking the garden. There is a bathroom, which is fitted with a white suite comprising of bath (with shower over), and vanity basin and W.C. There is also a separate W.C.

A further flight of stairs lead up to the attic bedroom which runs front-to-back across the house. Ther is a useful wash basin and pair of French doors with a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. There is ample eaves storage and access to a small loft with loft ladder.

The intriguing garden is accessed from the kitchen. In common with most terraced houses there is access solely for number 38 across adjoining garden with a gate to the right. The garden has various "rooms" linked with a path leading, initially, to a timber pergola covered in a beautiful, mature wisteria which is laden with fragrant, lilac racemes in the spring. The path meanders between mature shrubs and plants towards a pond and from there, past a greenhouse, to a large garden area with a shed and fruit cages. This area of garden offers plenty of scope for a keen gardener to create their own vision.
