Across the hall your second lounge adds another 170 square feet of hosting space, with another bay window, handsomely tiled hearth and a striking statement wall flanked by plentiful open shelving. A perfect reader's room or a cosy snug. You also have more of those original beams overhead.
The original architecture continues to the rear, where classic flagstones flow underfoot in your 150 square foot breakfast room, with oversized open hearth, large window to the side aspect and internal farmhouse doors with traditional latches. Lounge number three, an ideal family room or study, sits off to the side.
At over 100 square foot, this is another substantial space, with original timber beams to the walls and ceilings, plus internal window looking out on to the modest secondary hallway, directly accessed from the dining room and leading to the rear rooms of this family room.
Back here you have a sleek and sparkling boutique shower room, smartly tiled from floor to ceiling with walk in shower. There's a handy separate utility room next door, conveniently situated with your 160 square foot kitchen across the hall.
Your kitchen's home to substantial cream cabinets around the flanks, topped with marbled work surfaces, and featuring a Dublin sink and tiled backsplash. There's a handy breakfast bar, Aga-style oven and sturdy flagstones underfoot. There is an integrated dishwasher and space for an American fridge freezer. The current owners enjoy breakfast bar stools at the marble work top, another perfect space for meals on the move. The kitchen has windows to the front and rear aspect making it a very bright affair.
The ground floor's completed by a second dining room, a rather more contemporary affair of 200 square feet under skylights and with a bank of windows framing views of that splendid garden and French doors leading right out to the patio where there is a large outdoor furniture suite and hot tub currently enjoyed.
Your splendid garden starts with a substantial, sunken patio, ideal for barbecues and dining al fresco. It's sheltered by the house itself and completely secluded by mature greenery all around the horizon.
Sets of steps lead up to your huge, mature garden proper, with a sizeable expanse of lawn home to mature trees, tucked away seating spots and thriving beds. Endlessly explorable, with rooftop village views as well as rolling countryside vistas, it's a wonderful solace amidst the peaceful Bucks countryside.
It's also home to your charming summer house - with light, power and air conditioning this is ideal for turning to all manner of purposes, from home studio to guest accommodation.
The garden measures over half an acre of mature, private gardens with lots of different areas to explore and enjoy.
Back inside and upstairs. To the front you have a pair of bright, charming double bedrooms, 110 square feet apiece plus sizeable integrated walk in wardrobes. And of course, overhead you have those marvelous original timber beams in the ceiling, complementing the vintage timber floorboards flowing underfoot.
Bedroom three to the rear is full of more original coaching inn style, brimming with history from the elevated internal doors to the timber beams in the vaulted ceiling. Your last bedroom's a single, ideal for use as a study. Little Brickhill does have the benefit of fibre optic internet making home working a breeze.
Finally your family bathroom. An unutterably splendid affair with glorious vaulted ceilings set with period timber beams, offset by a sleek contemporary vanity unit with twin sinks, and elevated tub and walk in rainfall shower cubicle.
Contemporary comfort in a historical atmosphere.
Your Neighbourhood - Little Brickhill is one of a small number of sought after Bucks villages, within easy reach of Milton Keynes but that has nonetheless retained its charm and character, with a population of around 500.
The village itself dates all the way back to the Domesday Book in 1086, where it's listed as Brichelle because of the French.
Watling Street is a historical Roman road and your new home was originally a coaching inn called The Shoulder of Mutton, and is still located near the heart of the village.
But as ever that rolling Bucks countryside is never more than moments away. Parents will also be pleased to find six 'Outstanding' primary and secondary schools, also all within a short drive.
Whenever you want to venture further afield, the endless shopping and leisure amenities of Milton Keynes are just a five minute drive. Here's also where you'll find direct, thirty seven minute rail links to London Euston.
