School Hill, North Marston, Buckingham

This beautiful Grade II listed cottage, tucked away in the quiet village of North Marston, is a wonderful choice for anyone who appreciates charm, character and period features. This property is being sold with NO CHAIN.

Originally two cottages and now combined into one delightful home, the property offers a wealth of exposed beams, cottage-style windows and plenty of quirky appeal. A wooden front door opens into a useful utility/boot room, with space for coats and washing appliances. From here, there is access to the cloakroom, fitted with a WC and wash hand basin, as well as a door to the rear garden and another into the reception area, currently used as an office, with wooden stairs rising to one of the bedrooms.

The open-plan reception and sitting room is full of character, with exposed beams throughout and an attractive fireplace featuring a wood-burning stove and mantle above. The original front door is currently concealed behind a bookcase, adding to the cottage’s unique charm.

The kitchen, located just off the sitting room, is fitted with a range of wooden base and eye-level units, drawers and tiled worktops. There is a one-and-a-half bowl sink with hot tap positioned beneath the kitchen window, overlooking the rear garden. Additional features include an electric hob, double oven and space for a tall fridge freezer. A door from the kitchen opens directly onto the patio area.

A second staircase from the living room leads to the second double bedroom. Both bedrooms are doubles and feature exposed beams to the ceilings and walls. In keeping with the age and character of the cottage, the floors are slightly uneven. One bedroom benefits from a spacious en suite, comprising a large glass walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin set into a vanity unit, along with a range of built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom also enjoys a dressing area leading through to a bathroom fitted with a bath, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside, the rear of the cottage offers a lovely patio area and a charming half-walled garden, with steps leading up to a lawn bordered by flower beds. There is also a generous wooden office/studio, ideal for those working from home, complete with heating and water. In addition, the garden includes a further summer house and storage shed, both with power. Altogether, it is a peaceful and tranquil setting, perfect for enjoying summer evenings in the heart of the village.

The property also benefits from a single garage with power and parking in front for several vehicles.

North Marston is a thriving and well-served village, offering an excellent primary school, nursery, award-winning community-run shop, village hall, church, two playgrounds, basketball hoop, recreation ground, playing field with nature trail, scout hut, cricket club and drama club. The picturesque village pond and picnic area are also just a short walk away and can be enjoyed by all.
