Grade II listed country home offering an exciting restoration project in a semi-rural location. About 1.5 acres in all.
Description
Occupying a generous plot of about 1.53 acres, this delightful Grade II listed country home provides an exciting opportunity for the new owner. Set within beautiful formal gardens the accommodation is spacious alongside garaging and outbuildings. Thought to date back to the early 16th century with later additions, the property is full of character and period features including an array of exposed beams.
This charming property is now in need of a new lease of life and offers the potential for an outstanding family home. On the ground floor an imposing front door opens into the reception hall with a guest cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. The reception space is generous comprising a formal dining room, dual aspect drawing room with stairs leading to a music room. A large cellar can be accessed from a cleverly concealed entrance in the drawing room. The kitchen is of a good size with a comprehensive range of units and plenty of room for a breakfast table. In addition is a utility room and a further cloakroom alongside a boiler room. Just off the kitchen is a potential self-contained annexe with a lovely sitting room, bedroom, kitchen and modern shower room.
On the first floor are five further characterful bedrooms, most with built-in wardrobes and a family bathroom with an adjacent cloakroom. The principal bedroom, with exposed beams, enjoys a dual aspect and an en suite bathroom.
Seytons Manor enjoys an idyllic setting with secluded mature gardens to the rear affording a wonderful backdrop. The gardens are a beautiful feature of the house, with large areas of lawn alongside lush and overflowing flower beds giving colour and scent. Pathways meander through the garden connecting different areas and leading to hidden corners and secret gardens with stone walls draped with foliage. Further highlights include an orchard with fig, apple and mulberry trees and a kitchen garden area with raised vegetable beds and a fruit cage. In addition is a charming potting shed and nestling in the far corner is an interesting outbuilding thought to be a blister hangar, providing a multitude of uses. To the front a long shared track from the road leads to the property with a driveway providing ample parking. There is a single garage attached to the annexe and beyond the driveway is a further double garage.

The M40 motorway gives easy access to London and the M25 and M4 motorways.
The area is surrounded by superb countryside with footpaths, bridle paths and areas of historical interest alongside the nearby Ridgway national trail. For golf enthusiasts there are two renowned clubs in the vicinity, Whiteleaf and Ellesborough.

There are well regarded local primary schools in Great Kimble and Monks Risborough. Independent schools include The Griffin, The Beacon, The Gateway, Pipers Corner, Godstowe Preparatory and Wycombe Abbey.
