Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire

A truly unique opportunity to acquire one of Long Crendon’s premium period homes rarely seen on the open market. Constructed from attractive stone and stock brick elevations under a classic clay peg tiled roof, this stunning property dates back in parts to the 15th Century and has been in the same family for the last 43 years. Protected from the road by an attractive walled courtyard with an elevated hornbeam hedge above a stone wall, an old oak door provides access to a spacious entrance hall with cloakroom leading to all receptions. The kitchen/breakfast room has been fitted with a generous range of Shaker storage units with granite worktops and includes a central island, a range of Neff integrated appliances and a classic two oven gas fired Aga. The east wing features a cozy dining room with impressive inglenook fireplace and a family room/study which again, includes a character fireplace.To the rear of the house is an elegant sitting room with fireplace, high ceilings and offers lovely views over the rear garden and beyond. On the first floor, a substantial landing provides access to an impressive master suite with bathroom and adjoining dressing room. There are four further bedrooms on the first floor served by two modern bathrooms. The second floor was converted in 2010 and has created two bedrooms including an outstanding 24’ room that is currently used as a sitting room/study. Both served by a modern shower room. Outside and of particular note are the rear gardens. Having been transformed by the current owners, the garden has been zoned into distinct areas. Behind the house is a generous terrace and formal garden which in turn, leads to an enclosed kitchen garden. As the garden slopes gently away from the house, it opens onto beautiful orchard and woodland leading to natural spring fed ponds. At the bottom of the garden is a small paddock with a modern timber framed stable with workshop and separate vehicular access.
