With a generous range of accommodation, the original parts of the property date back to the 18th century and retain a wealth of attractive period features such as exposed beams. A stable door opens into the entrance hall which provides access to the kitchen/breakfast room and steps descend to the impressive sitting and dining rooms which form part of the original house. The sitting room features an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating a warm and convivial atmosphere. Double doors open to a brick and double-glazed garden room with a vaulted glazed roof; a fabulous additional entertaining and relaxing space, making the most of the south-westerly aspect and views. French doors open from here to the terrace and gardens.
The triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room includes a built-in oven, hob and extractor fan. A useful utility room with a newly-installed gas boiler and a shower room with a separate cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation. The first floor comprises a triple aspect main bedroom with fitted bedroom furniture and an en suite shower room; four further bedrooms (one of which is currently used as a study) and a family bathroom, fitted with a white suite and fresh blue/white tiling.
Outside
Attractively landscaped and well-stocked gardens surround the cottage. They are largely laid to lawn with a wide variety of shrubs and bushes. A paved terrace is perfectly positioned to enjoy the attractive rural views and south-westerly aspect. Steps rise to a single garage and off-road parking.
Situation
Situated on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, Loosley Row is a sought-after hamlet with fabulous walks and local pubs. The property is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and adjacent to the Conservation area. The Lacey Green windmill (one of the oldest surviving smock mills in the country) is just a third of a mile away and the area is historically renowned for its lace-making. Princes Risborough, 2.8 miles away, is a lively market town with a variety of independent shops, supermarkets (Marks & Spencer and Tesco), restaurants and numerous social, cultural and sports facilities including a tennis club and indoor swimming pool. There is a good choice of both state and independent primary schools with excellent grammar schools in nearby Aylesbury and High Wycombe. Motorway links are readily accessible with the M40 at Chinnor (Junction 6 – 9.8 miles), Stokenchurch (Junction 5 - 9.8 miles) and High Wycombe (Junction 4 - 7.7 miles), coupled with a commuter train service from Princes Risborough to London and Oxford (both approximately 40 minutes).
