4 bed detached house for sale

Honor End Lane, Prestwood, Great Missenden HP16

Set well back from the lane the house was built in the 1930s and extended to the rear in recent years. The covered entrance porch opens to a generous reception hall with Victorian tiles, a window seat and doors to the study (which benefits from bespoke fitted furniture) and the cloakroom.
The stunning 34 ft x 11 ft kitchen/dining/family room with a wood-burning stove represents the 'the heart of the home' and has French doors to the rear terrace and gardens beyond. The kitchen has terracotta tiles to the floor, a large central island and is fully fitted with several integrated appliances including an AEG oven. It offers lovely views of the gardens which may be accessed via two pairs of French doors. The utility room/pantry is located adjacent to the kitchen.
The splendid 25 ft x 11 ft drawing room with an open fireplace retains original period features such as the arched windows to the French doors which open to the gardens at the front of the house.
Rising to the first floor, the dual aspect main bedroom suite comprises a dressing area, a walk-in wardrobe, a shower room with two washbasins and a Juliet balcony overlooking gardens. The three remaining double bedrooms (one of which has a pretty fireplace in the corner) are served by the family bathroom, again with two washbasins.

Outside

The well-established gardens are a particular feature of the property with a large terrace running the full width of the house to the rear; perfect for al fresco dining. They create a very private feel and are enclosed by mature hedging and fencing to the boundaries. Additionally, there is a vegetable patch and fruit trees including greengage, plum and apple.
Approached via a five-bar gate, the house occupies a generous 0.496 of an acre plot with ample parking space on the drive which leads to the detached double garage with a studio/office above.

Situation

Located in a rural lane on the edge of a sought-after village, the property is well placed to take advantage of its surrounding, extensive network of public footpaths and bridleways. The village centre is half a mile away and the numerous shops cater for most-day-to-day requirements whilst Great Missenden (2 miles distant) has a picturesque high street, specialist shops, restaurants and offers a train service to London Marylebone in approximately 40 minutes (fast train). Buckinghamshire is renowned for its state and private education including the excellent grammar schools (details of which may be obtained from the local authority).
