Exceptional Grade II listed family home.

Description

Court House is an exceptional and unique Grade II listed property situated in the village of Little Brickhill.

Commanding its elevated position, Court House is also steeped with history, dating from 1443 to 1638, being home to the Buckingham Assize Court. Original parts of the property are believed to date back to the 15th century, but this Jacobean style property has continued to be conscientiously updated throughout the years whilst retaining a wealth of period features.

The architecture has created a property of lovely proportions particularly reception rooms which offer generous ceiling heights, all creating a sense of space and light. The drawing room has dual aspect with a door leading out to the rear of the property. There is also a brick inglenook fireplace with charming wood burning stove.

The dining room offers a sociable space with another inglenook and open fireplace creating an impressive focal point and there is also access to a sizeable cellar. There is also a potential study/ music room which is of generous size.

The back entrance hall provides access to the kitchen where there is a charming mix of tradition and modern. Plenty of cupboard space, work surface areas and room for a table, there is also integrated appliances and an Aga. Leading off is a separate utility area with secondary sink, space for appliances, more storage and access to the second cellar. There is also a separate area to the right of the utility room which has great potential for a self-contained annex, with an existing bedroom/ sitting room and a separate shower room.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is impressive, with dual aspect providing light and there is also a spacious en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, again all of generous proportions and plenty of light, and a family bathroom with free standing bath.

Outside and to the rear of the property is a delightful garden. Mostly laid to lawn, there is also an abundance of mature trees, borders, flower beds and hedges throughout; seating areas and even a potting shed. There is also a paved courtyard terrace, providing a wonderful private space for alfresco dining and summer entertaining. To the front is also a characterful chequered garden too. The property is approached over a private gravelled driveway that leads to the rear of the property. Here you can find a double open car port with plenty of off road parking, and two stables providing useful outdoor storage or potential for conversion. (Subject to relevant planning permissions.)
