A fabulous period home enjoying a beautiful setting close to The Chequers Estate, within glorious formal gardens and grounds extending to two acres.Dating back originally to the 18th century, Dawn Cottage has been considerably extended over the last century and lovingly restored by the current family over the last forty years. Nestled at the foot of the Chiltern escarpment the property enjoys the most idyllic setting with fabulous views of adjoining countryside and the impressive grounds. Great Kimble is the most delightful village and Dawn Cottage is perfectly placed within a short walk of the reputable Church of England school and close to Little Kimble station connecting to Princes Risborough station for a comprehensive service into London Marylebone (under 40 minutes).The first impression of this wonderful home is through the electric gates and into a substantial area of off street parking, extending beyond to the beautiful formal gardens.
