Oxford Road, Dinton, HP17

A beautiful period farmhouse set in 20 acres with a wonderful array of traditional and contemporary barns.

This delightful farmhouse dates from the 17th Century and has been sympathetically refurbished over the last 10 years by the current owners. Adjoining the house is a stunning Grade II Listed tythe barn and forms part of a stunning courtyard, which is surrounded by a range of traditional period farm buildings. The owners run a wedding venue under a temporary licence; the setup offers numerous possibilities for a work/home lifestyle or multi-generational living.  

The farmhouse itself is absolutely enchanting with an abundance of charm and a wealth of original character. On the ground floor there are three principal reception rooms and the double height kitchen/dining room is a spectacular masterpiece, with a large adjacent utility/boot room. On the first floor the main bedroom is ensuite as is the guest bedroom, with the remaining two bedrooms served by the family bathroom.

Adjoining the farmhouse is the magnificent tythe barn, displaying exquisite beams and timbers, extending to approximately 1650 sq ft with a further annexe space. The rest of the courtyard is formed by an open fronted cart shed with a bar/outdoor kitchen one end, the cow byre and adjoining wychert barn (residential planning has been granted on the latter). Furthermore there is a playroom, pig sty, workshop with adjoining garden store and w.c.

The courtyard area itself is quite delightful with a beautifully landscaped area of garden, incorporating terraces, including one under a fabulous umbrella tree. There is a large garden to the south of the property which extends down to the fields behind, with a haha allowing an uninterrupted view of the Chiltern Hills.

From the electric front gates the tree lined gravel driveway sweeps up to the property, before splitting to the left for parking for the house and continuing on to a further area of parking near adjacent to the large crendon barn/venue hall. There are approximately twenty acres laid down to permanent pasture.
