Description

This three-bedroom property presents a rare opportunity to the market, having been cherished by the same family for approximately 70 years. The home sits on a generously sized plot that offers significant potential for expansion or the addition of outbuildings such as home offices, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and building regulations. A thoughtful renovation could transform this house into a modern family residence that meets the needs of future owners. While the property is in good structural condition, it does require some updating, providing a blank canvas for new owners to express their personal style and preferences. Notable features include spacious living areas characterized by charming bay windows that enhance natural light and offer pleasant views of the surroundings. The main bedroom, in particular, benefits from these design elements, ensuring comfort and an inviting atmosphere. Situated in a tranquil village setting, this property not only boasts peace and quiet but also access to a vibrant community filled with local events and activities. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the area's proximity to walking and cycling trails, especially given its location adjacent to National Trust land at Hughenden Manor and Park. The convenience of nearby amenities in High Wycombe—including shops, schools, and public transport—is also a significant advantage. Access to J4 of the M40 is just a short drive away; alternatively, High Wycombe's train station provides regular services to London Marylebone in under half an hour. Downley itself is known for its desirable semi-rural lifestyle while remaining close to urban conveniences. With local schools catering to children of various ages and essential services close at hand, it’s an attractive option for families looking for both space and community engagement. This property not only represents a comfortable living space but also an excellent investment opportunity in a sought-after locale.
