An delightful family home in a much sought after rural location
Description
Ibstone Cottage is an impressive family home with an Elm clad exterior in an idyllic rural location and has been in the current families ownership for 26 years.
Following a stone path, the house is entered into a charming entrance hall that grants access to the sitting room, study and kitchen. The large, beautifully finished sitting room enjoys a triple aspect overlooking the garden and features a contemporary inset wood burning stove. The room opens into a light conservatory featuring slate flooring with underfloor heating and views of the beautifully landscaped garden from all sides, making it an ideal family space all year round. The generously sized study features a wood burning stove, carved timber surround and views over the sleepy lane below. The large kitchen/breakfast room which enjoys a comprehensive range of shaker style units, an AGA, a gas hob and an electric oven opens up onto a snug with doors out onto a south facing patio area, perfect for alfresco dining under the shade of a mature apple tree. The ground floor is completed by a utility room and a cloakroom.
To the first floor there is a generous principal bedroom with views of the woodland to the east, filling the room with light in the mornings. It features high ceilings, fitted storage and a large, four-piece en suite bathroom. There is a guest bedroom, with en suite shower room and views over the field beyond. There are three further bedrooms, all enjoying views of the delightful surrounding countryside as well as a generously sized family bathroom.
Outside
To the front of the property there is a large open lawn and herbaceous border with a paved pathway leading to the front door. The garden enjoys a high level of privacy featuring a variety of mature flower beds and a number of fruit trees. To the rear of the garden there are two sheds, ideal for storage as well as steps leading to up to a large vegetable garden with a glass greenhouse and views across the field beyond. To the side of the house there is a large south facing patio with steps to the driveway, garage and carport with an electric car charging point and storage areas above.
Location
Ibstone Cottage is found down a quiet country lane in the village of Ibstone, sitting high in the Chiltern Hills above the Hambleden Valley. The village enjoys a great sense of community with a cricket club, popular gastro pub, church and a primary school. This beautiful part of South Buckinghamshire is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is surrounded by miles of rolling countryside, ideal for walking, cycling and riding.
Ibstone is only a short drive from the M40 motorway with excellent road links to M25 and the national motor networks. The large centres of Henley-on-Thames, High Wycombe, Thame and Marlow are all close at hand, offering an excellent range of shops and recreational facilities. There are schools of excellent repute in the area including several well regarded primary schools, the John Hampden Grammar School and Wycombe High School in High Wycombe, and several renowned independents including Caldicott and Wycombe Abbey School. There is a regular rail service from High Wycombe station to London Marylebone or from Henley (via Twyford) and Maidenhead to London Paddington.
Acreage: 0.25 Acres
Directions
From Henley-on-Thames, leave on the Marlow road (A4155). After approximately 3 miles at Mill End turn left signposted to Hambleden and Skirmett. Proceed up the valley, continue through the village of Skirmett and, shortly after leaving the village, turn left signposted to Turville and Ibstone. After a short distance turn right up a steep hill signposted Ibstone and Stokenchurch. On entering the village of Ibstone, pass a large country house on the right, ignore the turning to the church on the left and drive through the village passing the school on the right. After about half a mile, the village green and cricket field will be seen on the left. Turn left into Grays Lane, following this single track road the house will be found after a short distance on the right. Post code: HP14 3XX.
