SITUATION:

Nestled in a prime location at the heart of the attractive, rural village of Lane End, gateway to a multitude of breath-taking Chiltern countryside walks, cycle routes, pubs, and restaurants, stands this wonderfully characterful home.
The village itself offers a wide array of local services, with bustling Marlow circa four miles away. High Wycombe is a similar distance - boasting a major shopping centre, mainline rail service to London Marylebone, and convenient access to the M40 (for London, Oxford, and Birmingham), M25, and M4.
Lane End is in the catchment area for some of the most popular grammar / non-grammar schools and colleges in Marlow, High Wycombe, Henley and Oxford, with various school and college buses serving the village.
This stunning period property is believed to date back to 1811 and while it has been lovingly refurbished and maintained by the current owner, many original character features remain.

A further flight of stairs leads to the spacious family room, illuminated with natural light thanks to a light tunnel, which is perfect as a kids’ TV room, home office or as a fourth bedroom.
This floor has two additional utility / storage rooms well equipped for the laundry as plumbing is available for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

EXTERIOR:

To the rear of the property are the pretty, south-westerly facing gardens which have been beautifully landscaped and maintained by the current owner. Enclosed by high hedging, this private and secluded garden boasts both an area of paved patio, and a large expanse of lawn. It is the perfect space for children to play freely and pets to enjoy the outdoors.
Mature shrubs and plants flank the garden and there is a handy timber framed potting shed / workshop with a power supply. Stunning open fields surround the gardens and provide a sense of natural tranquillity.
The gardens can be accessed internally by stepping out from the kitchen / dining room patio doors and externally via a side access which leads to the main street.

The wonderful blend of character and style, together with the size and flexibility of the property's accommodation make this a truly desirable family home, in one of the area's most sought after villages. Early viewing is recommended to avoid disappointment.
