Description

Little Penn Farmhouse is a charming country home, believed to date to the 18th century with later editions. The property has a wonderful balance of a charming period exterior and contemporary décor to provide a wonderful family home with accommodation flowing effortlessly across two floors.

The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall from which the reception rooms flow and the staircase rises to the first floor. The drawing room is to the right side with built in storage cupboards. To the left of the hall is the sitting room which is in the original part of the house and has a lovely open fire. This continues into the games room which could also be used as a formal dining room and flows into the kitchen.

The open plan living kitchen room is the hub of the house and fully equipped with a range of Miele appliances along with a Gas AGA. Bi-folding doors open the length of the room onto the south facing terrace creating a wonderful entertaining area. There is also a utility room. The study has double doors opening onto the terrace and enjoys fine views across the garden. This creates a link through the studio into the self contained annexe comprising a kitchenette, shower room and living area which has a separate entrance and doors opening to the garden.

A shower room completes the ground floor which has underfloor heating throughout.

There are five bedrooms including the principal bedroom suite which is a double aspect room with built in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. Bedroom 2 has plenty of natural light and a Jack and Jill style en suite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms, all with built in wardrobes and one with a mezzanine dressing area, along with a family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
Little Penn Farmhouse is situated in an idyllic setting amongst rolling Chiltern Countryside. The property is approached through timber electric gates with a turning circle in front of the house. There is parking for a number of cars on the tarmacadam driveway and a separate exit through another set of electric gates.

There is a double garage with two separate electric doors and an office above. The additional versatile outbuilding has a kitchenette.

The expansive terraced gardens are south facing and mainly laid to lawn with herbaceous beds and mature trees. There is a large terrace that over looks the gardens and woodland beyond.

The leisure complex was built in 2019 comprising a 13.5m x 8m swimming pool, jacuzzi, gym, shower room, changing room and WC. There are bi-folding doors that open to almost the width of the building. To the south is an alfresco dining/entertaining area with an outdoor kitchen, pizza oven and bar. There is also a tennis court.

The highest point of the property is to the south east of the plot which has a pond and a summerhouse, an ideal spot to enjoy a beverage.

The grounds extend to about 17.7 acres including a large field, woodland and a charming lake that was built in 2022.

Location

Situated in the rural hamlet of Penn Bottom in a conservation area, Little Penn Farmhouse occupies a private position within glorious Buckinghamshire countryside. Beaconsfield New Town offers an excellent range of shops for day to day needs including Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Marks & Spencer food hall. The picturesque Old Town dates back to the thirteenth century with fine Georgian buildings and local facilities including convenience and independent retail stores together with a variety of restaurants and public houses.

The house is well positioned to enjoy the excellent walks and bridle paths in the locality including Common Wood and Penn Wood, both ancient woodlands. There is a wealth of sporting and recreational facilities available with playing fields and hard tennis courts in Penn, rowing clubs nearby in Henley and Marlow and other local towns having popular rugby and football clubs. Golf clubs include Wycombe Heights Golf course, Beaconsfield, Temple and The Buckinghamshire Golf Club which are all within easy reach. Bisham Abbey, one of Sport England’s National Sports Centres, is about 9 miles away.

Buckinghamshire is renowned for its choice and standard of schooling. The county is one of the last to maintain the traditional grammar school system. Independent schools in the area include Eton College, Wycombe Abbey, Caldicott, The Beacon, Godstowe, High March and Davenies to name a few.

The house is conveniently located to enjoy the countryside of The Chilterns while being well placed for commuting to central London from Beaconsfield and High Wycombe train stations, both a few miles distant.
