4 bedroom detached house

In prime position within this charming Buckinghamshire village, this elegant Victorian residence has been meticulously refurbished and thoughtfully extended, blending period character with contemporary design to create an exquisite, light-filled family home.

Upon arrival, a spacious reception hall warmly welcomes you, cleverly doubling as a relaxed family room. The room enjoys plenty of natural light thanks to its dual aspect and the front-facing bay window, while the striking double-sided open fireplace serves as a captivating focal point. This fireplace adds warmth to both the family room and the adjacent snug, while the more formal sitting room boasts a contemporary woodburning stove.

However, it is the sensational open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that truly captures the imagination. Positioned at the rear of the house, this thoughtfully designed area effortlessly blends style and functionality. The bespoke ‘Plain English’ kitchen, handcrafted in England, is painted in tones that echo the hues found in the L.S. Lowry prints adorning the walls, creating a harmonious connection between the different spaces. Framed by Crittall-style aluminium doors and windows, this space offers an unobstructed view of the beautifully landscaped gardens, while twin skylights flood the room with natural light. The kitchen also cleverly incorporates a secure, covered well, adding to the charm and character of the room. Additionally, the ground floor includes a spacious utility room and a cloakroom.

Upstairs, a light-filled landing leads to four generously proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom features built-in wardrobes and access to a large storage area in the roof space, ideal for stowing away seasonal items or luggage. The en suite shower room is a stylish haven, with striking copper tiles creating a touch of glamour. The remaining three bedrooms share a contemporary family bathroom.

The property enjoys an enviable east-west orientation, with sunrises spilling through the front bay windows, while the rear garden basks in the afternoon sun. The beautifully landscaped garden offers a formal area on one side, while the budding orchard on the other side is home to a selection of young fruit trees, including apple, pear, cherry, greengage, and plum; beyond which lies a sunken trampoline and secure-gated access into the adjacent recreation ground. A rose arch and willow circle further enhance the garden’s charm, and a large patio area provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. An outbuilding offers a versatile space, ideal for a home office or gym, and also includes a workshop and store opening onto an external covered area.

To the front of the property, a gated gravel driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles.

The property is ideally located in this picturesque village, just moments from local amenities including the school, pubs, allotments, and tennis club. Uniquely, Cheddington also boasts its own mainline station with a direct, regular service to London Euston.

Finally, the property lies within the catchment area for Aylesbury’s prestigious grammar schools, making it an ideal choice for families.
