Oxford Street, Lee Common, Great Missenden, HP16

Tucked away in one of the Chiltern's most enchanting villages, the cottage is more than a home, it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and truly enjoy the rhythm of country life.
From the moment you arrive, there is an immediate sense of warmth and character. Behind its charming brick and flint façade lies a beautifully restored late 1800's cottage, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered to honor its heritage while embracing modern comfort.

Step through the door and you’re welcomed by a sense of space and calm. The entrance hall sets the tone, elegant yet inviting leading you into a home that feels both refined and deeply comfortable.
At its heart, the main reception room offers a setting full of atmosphere. The magnificent inglenook fireplace, framed by exposed beams, creates a natural place to gather, whether for winter evenings by the fire or relaxed weekends with family and friends. There’s a gentle rhythm to the home, with intimate spaces alongside more open, social areas. The snug is a quiet retreat, the perfect place to unwind with a film or escape into a good book.
The open-plan kitchen, dining, and garden room is a space designed for real life.
Mornings begin with coffee in soft daylight as the garden comes to life beyond the windows. The country kitchen, beautifully crafted, is both practical and welcoming, a place where cooking becomes a pleasure rather than a task.
As the day unfolds, the space naturally transitions from family breakfasts to long, relaxed lunches, to evenings spent entertaining. The garden room brings the outside in, filling the home with light and offering ever-changing views across the seasons.
Upstairs, the sense of calm continues. Each of the four bedrooms has its own character.
The principal suite is a true sanctuary, complete with generous storage and a sleek, contemporary en-suite offering a quiet place to start and end each day.
Guest bedrooms feel equally considered, perfect for visitors, growing families, or adaptable to suit changing needs, whether that’s a nursery, dressing room, or creative workspace.

Outside

Electric gates open to a private approach, with ample parking and a charming detached double garage. The gardens have been designed not just to look beautiful, but to be lived in.
Sun-drenched patios wrap around the home, leading to a stunning pergola-covered seating area, perfect for long summer evenings, outdoor dining, and effortless entertaining.
There’s a sense of practicality too, with discreet storage, a greenhouse, and space for gardening, hobbies, or simply enjoying the outdoors.

Lee Common (in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) is a small hamlet in the parish of The Lee, meaning “woodland clearing” and believed to have Anglo-Saxon origins with a mention in The Domesday Book. The Lee is a delightful hilltop village, lying approximately midway between Great Missenden and the market town of Wendover, nestled against the backdrop of the Chiltern hills. The village offers good recreational facilities, a shop, a primary school and there are public houses nearby including The Cock and Rabbit on the common.
