5 bedroom house

A rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful Grade II Listed five bedroom residence which is believed to date back to the seventeenth century. Set in a stunning and tranquil plot of 5.35 acres with paddocks, stables and tennis court, the house
retains much of its original charm with period features including an inglenook fireplace plus exposed timber beams and doors.
The 19 ft drawing room enjoys a triple aspect and double doors out to the garden with outstanding views over the grounds and beyond. The dining room enjoys a dual aspect and an open grate fireplace to add to the atmosphere. The kitchen/breakfast room with lovely views out to the garden through the prime oak framed orangery with underfloor heating, has fitted units, an Aga range along with quality Miele appliances. In addition
to the snug (adjacent to the kitchen) is the family room which features a wood-burning stove, underfloor heating and a double aspect. There are two separate cloakrooms and a utility room.
Rising to the first floor, all the bedrooms enjoy a wealth of character with exposed timbers and views over the gardens and grounds. The principal bedroom is dual aspect with an en suite shower room and dressing area. The other four bedrooms (two with en suite bathrooms) are all of a good size. In addition there is a shower room which serves the remaining two bedrooms.

Outside

Approached via a hornbeam tree-lined avenue, the property is set well back and centrally within the grounds totalling 5.35 acres. The paddock land has been well maintained with post and rail fencing to all boundaries, with a detached brick stable block offering three loose boxes and a tack room, currently used as a storage room. Along with the double garage there is ample tarmacadam/concrete hardstanding and a detached summerhouse which offers adaptable usage with light and power facilities. There is also a hard surface tennis court, a green house, pond and partly walled kitchen garden which has potential to be converted to a secluded swimming pool, subject to the usual planning consents.

Situation

It is believed that the village of Meadle dates back to the English Civil War when it was caught up in the battle lines between the Royalists and Parliamentarians. It subsequently became a
Quaker settlement and during the inter-war years, John Nash, the artist, lived there drawing upon the attractive Chiltern countryside for inspiration. Nowadays, Meadle is better known for the nearby Kimble point-to-point. The nearby market town of Princes Risborough is just over two and a half miles away and caters for everyday needs with a wide selection of shops, restaurants and sporting facilities. The train service to London Marylebone takes circa 50 minutes and is only 1.5 miles distant at Monks Risborough.
