Grade II listed five-bedroom house dating back to the early part of the 18th century benefitting from a large extension to the original cottage.
The accommodation in the main house is set over three floors. The ground floor features a large sitting room with views out to the garden and a cosier traditional sitting room with a wood-burning stove. There is also a formal dining room, spacious kitchen and breakfast room, utility and cloakroom. There are five bedrooms alongside two bathrooms on the first and second floors, including an en suite to the principal bedroom.
The detached annexe is superbly well appointed and includes a kitchen, wet room, and an open plan living room and bedroom.
The house is set centrally in a good plot of about 0.37 acres behind a laurel hedge. There is a large driveway and grass lawn to the front. To the side of the house is a courtyard garden for the annexe. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn with mature trees and hedges surrounding, and features a sheltered sitting area, patio and an excellent workshop.
Manor Cottage is well located within Stoke Mandeville, a large village in south Buckinghamshire offering a great selection of local facilities and excellent transport links into London.
The property is ideally situated for fast trains into London Marylebone, and within a short drive, one can pick up the London Euston line at Tring.
The property lies at the edge of the Chilterns, surrounded by wonderful countryside offering excellent walks. Sporting facilities in the area are varied and include golf at Ellesborough, Princes Risborough and Beaconsfield.
Buckinghamshire provides many good schools, including Wycombe Abbey for girls, Eton, and Berkhamstead for boys. Nearby preparatory schools include Griffin House School in Princes Risborough, Ashfold School in Dorton, The Beacon for boys and Heatherton House for girls in Amersham, and Godstowe preparatory school for girls in High Wycombe. Buckinghamshire also still retains the grammar school system, and popular schools like Aylesbury Grammar and Sir Henry Floyd Grammar are both within reach. There are also many popular local primary schools. Property information
