Rare opportunity to purchase two detached character dwellings with outbuilding and garaging in about 4 acres including paddock land.
Description
Both Lodge Cottage, an attractive three bedroom house, and Ponds Conservatory, a characterful one bedroom single story house, occupy an idyllic semi-rural location set in about 4.1 acres with gardens, paddock land and woodland. Both the properties are approached via a picturesque treelined gated driveway, leading to a further set of electric gates giving access.
Lodge Cottage
This converted detached barn provides a lovely family home, with the front door to the side opening into the reception hall, with stairs to the first floor. A dining room with built-in cupboards and shelving, leads into a fully fitted utility room with space and plumbing for appliances, a cloakroom and a stable door giving access to the outside. A quietly situated study is tucked away just off the utility, with views over the frontage. The kitchen/breakfast room, overlooking the garden, is bespoke fitted with an excellent range of wood units and built-in appliances including a double oven, five ring gas hob, extractor and fridge/freezer. A useful breakfast bar gives relaxed seating, and there is door access on to the garden. A particular highlight of the property is the barn/sitting room, a stunning vaulted room with ample space to relax and entertain. The proportions are wonderful and the room enjoys a dual aspect with views to the front and also over the rear garden. An imposing brick fireplace with a wood burner gives a focal point and there are French doors opening on to the garden.
The bedroom accommodation is generous with spacious, well proportioned rooms. One bedroom is on the ground floor with two sets of built-in wardrobes and an en suite shower room. On the first floor is a family bathroom and two further bedrooms, both with excellent storage/built in wardrobes.
Outside
Lodge Cottage benefits from a large gravelled driveway with ample parking and two garages. There is an area of garden to the front of the house, mainly laid to lawn and with a lovely summer house, ideal as a home office, which has been beautifully fitted out with oak flooring and a separate lockable store to the side. To the rear is a pretty garden, with an area of lawn, a small pergola and a raised, well stocked flower bed to the side providing colour and interest. Beyond the driveway is an allotment/kitchen garden, large paddock with a walkway to the side leading to an orchard and a large area of woodland.
Ponds Conservatory
This charming property has been converted from the original Victorian greenhouse and potting sheds of the neighbouring manor house. The reception hall, which is of a good size, could also be used as a dining room/study. The sitting room, with a brick fireplace and gas fire, enjoys French doors opening into a stunning bespoke wooden conservatory, overlooking the gardens. This room is delightful and of excellent proportions, with green slate flooring, window seating and underfloor heating. The kitchen is equipped with a range of units and appliances, and a stable door opens on to the outside terrace. At the far end of the property is a spacious bedroom, with an excellent range of fitted wardrobes, and an en suite bathroom with an adjacent cloakroom.
Outside
The gardens are predominately laid to lawn and wrap around the property. To the front is a delightful walled terrace, full of red roses, lavender and clematis, giving an ideal spot for outside dining or a quiet read. Yew hedging on the boundary to the front provides screening and a path leads to a wonderful secret garden. The remainder of the garden is enclosed with fencing and hedging, with small brick storage shed, a cellar and a generous gravelled driveway with two large garages.
Location
Seer Green and Jordans station 1.5 miles, Beaconsfield 3.5 miles, M40 (J2) 3.5 miles, Gerrards Cross 4.5 miles, Heathrow (T5) 17 miles, central London 25 miles (Baker Street) All distances are approximate.
Seer Green is a desirable and sought after village in the Chiltern Hills, offering a small variety of shops, a well-regarded village school and two local pubs, The Jolly Cricketers and The Three Horseshoes. The area is ideal for commuters, as Seer Green and Jordans station offers a mainline train service to London Marylebone (from 26 minutes at the time of writing) while the M40 (J2) affords access to London, Heathrow, M25 and Oxford.
Buckinghamshire is renowned for its choice and standard of schooling, both state and public. The county is one of the last to maintain the traditional grammar school system, of which Dr Challoner’s Grammar School for boys (Amersham), Dr Challoner’s High School for girls (Little Chalfont) and Beaconsfield High School for girls (Beaconsfield) are the closest. Local independent preparatory schools include Thorpe House, Davenies, Caldicott (for boys), St. Marys and Maltmans Green (for girls) and Gayhurst for girls and boys, to name a few.
Square Footage: 4,322 sq ft
