Property description

A four bedroom detached house with four reception rooms and off street driveway parking ahead of an oak framed garage, set on a 0.4-acre plot with front and rear gardens, overlooking open countryside in the hamlet of Henton.

The 1960s brick under tile property provides over 2,260 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors. The front door opens to an entrance hall with part glazed double doors to an over 22 ft. by 14 ft. triple aspect sitting room which has an open fire with a stone surround, a bay window, and sliding doors to a paved rear patio spanning the width of the house. Also off the hall and overlooking the rear garden, are a study with a built-in cupboard and a kitchen. This was refitted in 2020 and has granite worktops and upstands with an inset sink, tiled splashbacks and a Belling oven, as well as space and plumbing for a washing machine, a tumble dryer and a fridge/freezer. Overlooking the front garden, the dining room has a bay window and hardwood herringbone parquet flooring. A step down from the kitchen leads to an inner hallway which accesses an over 20 ft. by 18 ft. double aspect games/play room and a wet room. At the end of the inner hallway is a boot room with a door to the garden.

First Floor

The first floor landing, with a window over the front, gives access to four dual aspect bedrooms, three of which have built-in wardrobes, and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom and bedroom four both have larger windows overlooking the rear garden with views beyond. The main windows of bedrooms two and three overlook the front garden. The tiled bathroom has a panel bath with a shower over, a pedestal basin, and a WC.

Outside

Set back from the road, the house is approached via a shingle driveway with parking for several cars and lawns on either side. The drive continues through a five-bar gate to a further rear parking area in front of the oak-framed double garage, with power connected. The established rear garden is predominantly east facing, with raised brick flower borders to one side and is enclosed on both sides by wood panel fencing. Post and rail fencing at the end of the garden provides uninterrupted views over the adjacent countryside and Chiltern Hills beyond. Included are a summerhouse and a garden shed.

Situation and Schooling

The hamlet of Henton is just North of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has access to many footpaths and bridleways including the Phoenix Trail and Ridgeway Path. There are three livery yards and The Peacock Country Inn. Chinnor (1.5 miles) has a variety of amenities including primary schools and a GP surgery. Thame (5.8 miles) has a wider choice of shopping, social and sports facilities. The bus for Lord Williams' secondary school in Thame stops in Henton and buses from Bledlow serve grammar schools in Aylesbury.
