Westfield Road, Long Crendon, Aylesbury, HP18

Yew Tree House has an enviable position on the edge of Long Crendon; it's undoubtedly the most idyllic location to live.

Completely unspoilt views for miles. Lush green fields, forests and nature as far as the eye can see.

The convenience of village amenities just a short walk away, but none of the general hubbub of villagers coming and going, and very little passing traffic.

This is a traditional 1930s home with a modern twist.

The front of the property has the typical double front with large bay windows. A pleasing symmetry with tonnes of kerb appeal beckoning you to explore more of this home.

As you gently push open the front door, you are greeted with the hallway and stairs, with a reception room on either side. Perfect for separate living spaces for the kids and the adults so that you don't all have to watch the same movies!

Each with working cast iron fireplaces, these rooms are cosy and perfect for snuggling down for an evening in front of the tv.

But, the rear of the home is where things get really interesting.

You catch a sneak peek of the kitchen as you pass through the hallway.

The porcelain tiled floor bounces and reflects the sunlight that pours in from the bi-fold doors creating a wonderfully bright space. Large enough for formal dining, a lounge area and casual dining at the island in the centre. Whether you're hosting the dinner party of the year or have friends around for a leisurely coffee, this room is where the family spends most of their time.

Slide open the doors and take in the fresh breeze, taking a moment to take in the astounding views.

A top-quality, 1909 kitchen in a rich deep blue with striking chrome handles and quartz worktops creates a chic finish to a country style.

A Fisher & Paykel fridge freezer sits in the corner, and there are 2 integrated Miele dishwashers within the island. For all budding chefs, the brand new Kenwood range oven with 5 gas burners is perfect for when you're cooking up a feast for the family.

Tucked around the corner is a lovely study. Currently left open-plan to the kitchen so that the busy worker is not entirely shut off. Still, a door could easily be added to increase privacy if needed. The light from the kitchen seeps into this room so you can work in natural light.

And the ground floor is completed by the utility/boot room. Fitted with the same 1909 units as the kitchen but in a soft grey, it's the perfect spot for wellies and coats. There is plumbing for 2 washing machines, so there should never be a backlog of washing to get through, and the noisy spin is kept out of the living space.

As you head upstairs, you'll see that there are 4 bedrooms. There is a stunning newly refitted family bathroom with bath and shower and an aditional shower room.

There are 2 bedrooms at the front of the property and 2 at the rear.

The master bedroom, at the rear, is a grown-up oasis of calm to relax and unwind, hidden away from the hectic whirlwind of family life.

A Juliet balcony allows you to fully take in the wonderful views from the comfort of your bed.

There is a walk-in wardrobe and a beautiful en suite bathroom with a bath, separate shower cubicle and double basin unit. Simply close the door, run yourself a bath and leave your cares behind.


Outside, the property has a large parking area, enough room for the whole family to park safely, and a small garden area at the front.

There is planning permission to build a double garage if you need one.

As you approach the rear garden, you'll be blown away. Your lawn stretches in front of you and is flanked by flower beds that add a fabulous pop of colour and established trees and shrubs.

This creates a sanctuary that gives near-total privacy, except for the wildlife. You'd be forgiven for thinking that the garden never ends and stretches out to the horizon. Enjoy your morning coffee on the patio as you watch the birds and other wildlife frolicking through the fields.

Whether pottering around in the flower beds or simply soaking up the summer sun before lighting a BBQ and dining on the patio as the sun sets, this outside space is a fabulous addition to a beautiful home.

Life in Long Crendon could be near perfect. A strong sense of village community with many events throughout the year, as well as pubs, shops and restaurants. There is no need to leave the village as there is everything you could need right here.

But, if you must commute, the station will allow you to catch the train from Haddenham to London within an hour. And, as the school catchment area for this village spans the borders of Buckinghamshire and Oxford, you can be sure to find an excellent school for the little ones.

Yew Tree House has undergone extensive restoration over the last few years. From replacing all the roof tiles and the old lead water pipes into the property to a full electrical rewire and new boiler. All windows were replaced from inefficient single glazed to super-efficient aluminium framed double glazing. The extension on the rear of the property has only been recently completed, so everything is as good as new. Ready for a new family to come in and make their own memories here.
