Description

Chapel house is set in an appealing location at the edge of the village, offering picturesque views over expansive fields and the serene valley. This detached period residence, built with traditional brick and flint, boasts numerous original features that enhance its character, making it a promising renovation opportunity. Upon entry, the welcoming hallway leads into a spacious living room which features a striking brick inglenook fireplace and lovely oak-beamed ceilings, adding to the home's charm. A door from the living area opens into the rear garden while also providing access to an office space, dining room, and a staircase leading up to the first floor. The dining area integrates seamlessly with the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen itself is outfitted with cream cabinetry and tiled flooring, alongside integrated appliances that balance classic style with practicality. The first floor comprises two generous double bedrooms along with a spacious family bathroom that includes a separate shower. Character details such as exposed beams on this level add to its appeal. The principal bedroom benefits from striking views over the garden and paddocks, while the second bedroom also offers similar vistas and includes built-in storage. There is considerable potential for expansion of living space subject to acquiring necessary planning permissions, allowing future owners to tailor the property further. The exterior features a lovely south-facing terrace and an attractive cottage garden predominantly laid to lawn with established trees and shrub borders. There is an enclosed dog kennel adjacent to the home as well as more informal garden space leading to a delightful seating area that captures superb views of the surrounding paddocks and valley. Beyond this lies approximately 1.7 acres comprised of two fenced paddocks along with an outbuilding for various uses. This residence rests within the Hambleden Valley's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is close to Skirmett’s local amenities including a pub, while Hambleden offers additional conveniences like a post office and garage. Henley-on-Thames and Marlow are both in proximity, providing diverse shopping venues, cafes, restaurants, and leisure activities such as cinema or theatre experiences. Additionally, access to excellent schools in Marlow adds value for families seeking educational opportunities nearby. The natural surroundings are perfect for outdoor activities including horse riding, cycling, or walking via extensive bridleways and footpaths.
