Water Lane, Ford, Aylesbury, HP17

Actively used for equestrian purposes and whilst the grounds and setting are undoubtedly one of the key attractions of this property, it is apparent that great care has been taken of this late 1800's residence. The entrance hall, leads to the bespoke kitchen/breakfast and family room with lovely views through the full length bi-folding doors to the garden and paddocks beyond. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility/boot room with plenty of storage cupboards, plumbing and space for a washing machine and dryer. The sitting and dining rooms benefit from a wood-burning stove and solid oak flooring, with the study located next to the sitting room. On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all capitalising upon the breath-taking views.
Viewing is highly recommended in order to fully appreciate the true extent of the property's charm, character and range of accommodation.

Outside

The house and paddocks beyond are approached via a wide drive with plenty of parking space and a double garage which also serves as a workshop. Additionally, there is a detached, insulated home office.
The stable yard and equestrian facilities include three stables, a tack room, hay barn, sand pen and field shelter. The yard itself has water, power and lighting. The paddocks (with water) are mainly bordered by post and rail and no public footpaths cross the land. The property enjoys a good level of privacy with mature gardens, areas of lawn, a private terrace, a small orchard yielding plentiful crops from the apple and plum trees in addition to the vegetable garden with a polytunnel. The total plot measures 2.13 acres.

Situation

The property is located in a pretty hamlet with a strong sense of community, historical interest, a thriving pub (The Dinton Hermit) and the area is interwoven with a network of public footpaths through open fields and woodland. The nearest village, Dinton (1.4 miles) offers a cricket club, a village hall and a Grade I, 12th century church which plays host to festivals and concerts. A range of shops and amenities are available in Haddenham (2.7 miles) where there is also a health centre, dentist’s surgery, a library, cafe/restaurants and public houses.
Buckinghamshire is renowned for its private and state education (including grammar schools) and there is a good choice of primary schools in both Dinton, Cuddington (3.4 miles) and Stone (2.6 miles) whilst Aylesbury (5 miles) offers highly regarded grammar schools. Oxford (23.7 miles) offers a very good selection of private schools including The Dragon for boys and Headington School for girls. Whilst enjoying a fine rural setting, the village benefits from ease of access to the M40 (junction 6 at Lewknor) and the Haddenham and Thame Parkway Station provides main line railway services to London Marylebone in less than 40 minutes (fast train). The Oxford Tube coach service stops at Lewknor (11.8 miles) and runs to London Marble Arch and Victoria.
