Description

The Old School House retains a wonderful sense of its 18th-century origins, with original features adding warmth, character and individuality throughout. Exposed beams, original fireplaces and areas of exposed brickwork sit alongside the more practical elements of modern living, creating a home with genuine period charm and a story to tell.

Ground Floor
The cottage is entered from the rear into a useful utility room, which leads through to the characterful kitchen/breakfast room. Exposed brickwork, a tiled floor, timber cabinetry and an electric Aga create a warm country-kitchen feel, with views across the garden and adjoining fields. A spiral staircase rises to the attic room, adding an unusual and versatile feature. The utility room provides additional storage with a range of wall and base units, stainless-steel sink and space for the washing machine and fridge/freezer. The sitting room is a welcoming space with triple access and a feature fireplace, while the dining room provides a wonderful focal point with its original fireplace, log burner and timber mantel. This room also forms the central link to much of the ground floor and gives access to the first floor. Completing the ground floor is a family bathroom with a white three-piece suite.

First Floor
The first floor provides two generous double bedrooms, both offering a comfortable retreat from the main living areas. The attic room provides valuable additional flexibility and could be used as a home office, creative space, occasional bedroom or simply useful storage, depending on individual requirements.

Outside
Approached through double gates, a shingle driveway provides off-road parking for up to four vehicles. The mature garden is a particular feature, predominantly laid to lawn and beautifully established with fruit trees, flowering shrubs and mature borders. An ornamental pond adds to its character, while the paved terrace immediately adjoining the cottage provides a natural setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Beyond the post-and-rail boundary, adjoining farmland gives the garden an open rural outlook and a wonderful sense of space. The combination of mature planting, countryside views and privacy creates a particularly peaceful setting.

Location
Bishopstone is a picturesque hamlet set at the foot of the Chiltern Hills, surrounded by beautiful open countryside and offering an enviable rural lifestyle. The surrounding lanes and footpaths provide excellent opportunities for walking and cycling, while the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is close at hand.Despite its tranquil setting, the cottage is conveniently positioned equidistant from Aylesbury, Wendover and Stoke Mandeville railway stations, all providing access towards London Marylebone. Aylesbury offers an extensive range of shopping, leisure and everyday amenities, while the surrounding villages provide further local facilities and well-regarded schools. For those seeking a period home with genuine character, a mature garden and an open countryside setting, while retaining convenient access to the town and commuter rail network, Bishopstone offers an appealing balance of rural living and accessibility.
