Hedges surround the garden giving privacy and seclusion and there are some fine herbaceous borders filled with perennials for a lovely year round display. An old timber pergola is covered in scented climbing roses and mature apple and fruit trees provide shade from the summer sun. In all the garden extends to 0.33 acres.
Situation - Ibstone village sits high in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, edged by bluebell woods. It is home to just 200 residents but there is a great sense of community and a thriving cricket club who play on the green just down from Sedgmoor Cottage. The origins of the village can be traced back to the 8th century and the name derives from Ibba's Stones, later recorded in the Doomsday book as Hibestanes. There has been a parish church here for over a thousand years. There is a popular Primary School and a 300 year old pub, The Chilterns Fox. Trains to London. Marylebone are from High Wycombe station (6.5 miles) and access to the M40 (J5) just 2 miles away. Being in Buckinghamshire, residents of Ibstone are eligible for the superb Grammar School system, rated by many as being the equivalent (or better) than many private schools.
Services - Mains water and electricity connected. Oil fired central heating. Private drainage. Buckinghamshire Council, Tax Band G.
