Bicester Road, Long Crendon, Aylesbury, HP18

A beautifully presented period cottage commanding stunning elevated rural views within the heart of Long Crendon village.

Dorsetts Cottage is a unique opportunity to acquire a detached period cottage enjoying panoramic views within the heart of Long Crendon village. Originally dating back to the 17th century and constructed of Wychert elevations, the cottage has been transformed, incorporating the adjoining property which dates back to the 19th century and in more recent years with the introduction of a modern conservatory/garden room. Internally the property has retained
many original features including beams, doors and mainly timber windows, although surprisingly for a house of this period the ceilings heights are
generous. Of particular note is the elegant sitting room, extending to 19’ in length and benefiting from an open fireplace and high ceilings. This lovely room has a light double aspect and often flooded with natural light, creating a wonderful outlook towards the recently landscaped formal gardens. Further accommodation to the ground floor includes an entrance hall, a cloakroom/refitted utility, a dining room with a snug area and a refitted John Lewis kitchen opening to a modern conservatory. To the first floor is a light and airy master bedroom with the most wonderful panoramic views over countryside. The master bedroom has a modern en-suite shower room. This floor has two further double bedrooms, a large refitted family bathroom and a study area.
Outside, the cottage has the most wonderful formal gardens extending in length to in excess of 100’ and carefully maintained and landscaped over the years by the current owners. The garden is laid to lawn on a number of levels with a number of flower and shrub borders, lighting and irrigation system and an impressive terrace ideal for entertaining whilst enjoying the sunny aspect and views on offer. At the bottom of the garden is a detached outbuilding providing a garage and a first floor office above with door to roof terrace, providing an ideal area for a self-contained studio. Subject to planning this outbuilding provides scope to develop into further accommodation. Ample off street parking at the rear complete the wonderful outdoor space.
