Swan Lane, Great Missenden, HP16

Originally dating back to the 1930s with later additions, this substantially extended family home features a "hub of the house" sitting room with an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room. This area runs from the front of the house to the rear and offers a fabulous entertaining space with French doors to the terrace which has a south-westerly aspect.
The sitting room features a wood-burning stove and panelled flooring whilst the kitchen/breakfast room includes an electric range cooker and space for a dining room table. There is a dual aspect family room, again with French doors to the rear gardens, which enjoys attractive views over these gardens and adjoining fields. Double doors open from the family room to the adjacent games room. The dual aspect study overlooking the front drive and garden, utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Rising to the first floor, there is a generously proportioned (14 ft x 12 ft) main bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. Additionally, there are four further bedrooms, a recently refitted family bathroom and a shower room.

Outside

One of the most appealing features of this property is the expansive gardens and grounds, measuring a total of 1.65 acres and enjoying attractive rural views over the neighbouring fields. The landscaped gardens are largely laid to lawn with well-stocked flower beds and a raised, full-width terrace taking advantage of the views. To the rear of the formal gardens, there is an area of land that has been left to grow naturally and includes a vegetable plot and a chicken coop.
The property is approached via a wide stone driveway with lawn and flower beds to one side. There is ample off-road parking space.

Situation

The property is located on the edge of The Lee; an extremely pretty village offering fantastic walks through open fields and woodland as well as a choice of popular pubs (The Old Swan and The Cock & Rabbit). Village life centres around the green and the 13th century church which regularly hosts musical events and functions. There is also a community shop, an active cricket club and a tennis court.
Nearby, Great Missenden (4 miles) offers a variety of restaurants and shops whilst fast trains run from the station to London Marylebone in approximately 45 minutes. Buckinghamshire is renowned for its state and private education, details of which may be obtained from the local authority.
