Manchester Terrace, Lane End, HP14

Blending period charm with contemporary design, this beautifully presented four bedroom end terrace cottage has been thoughtfully extended and renovated to create a superb family home in the heart of Lane End and within the conservation area. The original cottage retains an abundance of character, with exposed beams, fireplaces and cottage proportions, whilst the impressive rear extension provides an exceptional open-plan kitchen and dining room beneath a striking glazed roof lantern that floods the space with natural light. Arranged over three floors, the property offers the perfect balance of cosy character and modern family living, complemented by an approximately 80ft landscaped rear garden and off-road parking for two cars.

The front door opens into a welcoming sitting room where a sash bay window, part-panelled walls and an open fireplace immediately set the tone for the character found throughout the home. Beyond lies the elegant sitting room, a wonderfully cosy space featuring exposed oak beams, an open fireplace with wood burning stove and opens directly into the kitchen.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home is the recently extended kitchen and dining room. Beautifully designed with a substantial roof lantern stretching across the ceiling, the room is bathed in natural light throughout the day. French doors on three sides create a wonderful connection to the garden, whilst the bespoke shaker-style kitchen is centred around a generous island with marble worktops, integrated appliances and ample storage. There is plenty of space for a large dining table, making this an ideal room for everyday family life as well as entertaining. The ground floor accomodation is completed by an inner lobby giving access to a stylish utility room and cloakroom.

The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms together with a beautifully refitted family bathroom, finished in a timeless contemporary style with quality fittings.

Occupying the entire second floor, the principal bedroom is a peaceful retreat with a dressing area offering bespoke fitted storage and a stylish en suite shower room.

Outside, the rear garden extends to approximately 80ft and enjoys a private, established setting. A generous timber deck wraps around the rear of the extension, creating an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining, whilst the lawn is bordered by mature trees, shrubs and colourful planting providing interest throughout the seasons. To the front you will find gravelled off-road parking for two vehicles.

Manchester Terrace enjoys a central position within the thriving village of Lane End, where a good selection of local shops, cafés, pubs, a doctors' surgery and highly regarded schooling are all within walking distance. Surrounded by the beautiful Chiltern Hills, the village offers wonderful countryside walks whilst remaining within easy reach of Marlow, High Wycombe and Junction 4 of the M40, making it an excellent location for both families and commuters. The local bus stops nearby and goes straight through to Marlow, excellent for school commuting.
