Croft Meadows, Cheddington, Buckinghamshire

Jon-Paul Brampton presents...Immaculately presented five bedroom detached family home in the idyllic Buckinghamshire village of Cheddington. Whilst offering a quintessential village vibe with a primary school and village green, there is also the superb advantage of being able to walk to a mainline train station with direct access to London Euston in circa 40 minutes!

the property

Situated just off of Cheddington High Street, and accessed via a small lane adjacent to a grazing paddock, this spacious detached family forms part of a small cul-de-sac of detached homes built in the 1980's. As you approach the house the sense of one's close proximity to the wonderful local countryside is immediately apparent. 

Set behind a treelined lawn, a good size block paved driveway leads to the detached double garage and the property itself. An immaculately presented frontage sets the tone for the superb family home that awaits. 

On entering the large entrance hall the feeling of space and quality of finish is immediate. Wood flooring flows through the communal entrance with access to a downstairs WC and a large built in coat and shoe storage cupboard. The living room is accessed through double glass inset wooden doors, enabling the flexibility to either open up the space or create a cosier and private vibe. A large wood burning stove sits centre stage acting as a focal point. Wooden shutters adorn the front windows creating a stylish and practical finish. 

There is a second large reception to the right hand flank of the house, perfect for a children's playroom or den, or perhaps a TV room or study. Again wooden shutters adorn the windows. 

The rear of the house is taken up with a large kitchen/dining & family room. Spanning the entire width of the house this social and modern space is perfect for family life. The kitchen itself is exceedingly well appointed, finished in a modern style with a large  central island unit housing the hob, with twin ovens set within a bank of units. As the space opens out there is ample space for a large dining table, perhaps even a sofa or armchairs as well. This is a big space that has plentiful options. Bi-folding doors open up, out onto the private rear garden creating a in/out feel in those warmer months. There is a separate utility room for washers and dryers, and separate side access. 

On the first floor there are five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Arranged as follows; a main bedroom suite, comprising a large double bedroom which opens into a dressing area with flank of built in wardrobes, with access through to an ensuite bathroom. Bedroom two also benefits from being a good size double room with its own ensuite shower room. There are three further bedrooms and a main family bathroom, with bath and shower. All arranged around a modern galleried landing which also benefits from a large airing cupboard. 

The finish throughout is modern and extremely well looked after. 

Externally there is ample parking for several cars on the driveway. A detached double garage with door to the side. Large and with a pitched roof, this space offers potential beyond its current use (subject to the usual planning consents). There is a side access to the private rear garden. Again, particularly well cared for, the space is perfect for families with ample room to play and enjoy, With its position on the edge of the village there are views to the front of the house that reach to the ancient Ridgeway, and to the rear over the village school playing fields. 

This is truly a stunning home, but please do not just take my word for it! Read the description, browse the photos and watch the video tour. Then...if you think this could be the home for you, please get in touch to arrange a viewing, 

the location 

Known in ancient times as Cetendone, Cheddington is mentioned in the Domesday Survey of 1086. Located approximately 4 miles from the market town of Tring, unusually for a village it boasts a mainline station with direct access into London Euston or north to Milton Keynes and beyond. For centuries it was an agricultural village, noted for its orchards and initially when the railway arrived in 1838, the station handled more plums than passengers! 

Currently the winner of Buckinghamshire's Best Kept Village, it has two excellent public houses, the Three Horseshoes, providing a traditional atmosphere with real ales and pub food, and the Old Swan, a traditional thatched pub and restaurant. A fish'n'chips van visits the village one evening and lunchtime per week! Mason's general store (open 7 days a week) is in Barkham Close.

Saint Giles Church dates back to 1190 but most of the present building dates from the 14th and 15th centuries. The tower contains six bells, the earliest dating from 1593. The Methodist Church is situated at the Green.

Cheddington County Combined School is recognised as one of the best in the area, with the  popular Pre-School is also located there. Cheddington also falls into catchment for the Grammar schools of Aylesbury. There are schools buses to both Tring School and Cottesloe School for those seeking secondary schools. 

Cheddington has a modern village hall and facilities for a wide range of recreational and sporting activities including exercise, toddler and reading groups. 

A good network of footpaths and bridleways serve the village including two circular walks and the Two Ridges Link which can be accessed at the railway station. There are allotments and a recreation ground where you'll find Tennis, Football and Bowls clubs. 

The A41 is a short drive away and provides a direct link to junction 20 of the M25 which provides access to the national motorway network. An extensive range of shopping, recreational, schooling and leisure facilities are available at the neighbouring towns of Aylesbury (9 miles), Tring (4 miles), Leighton Buzzard (6 miles) and Berkhamsted (9 miles). Such outlets as Waitrose, M&S, Tesco, Morrisons and Aldi are all within a 10-15 minute drive away.
