Description

This two-bedroom period cottage presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment in a desirable village close to Great Missenden. Located just over a mile from the train station, this property is well-situated for those commuting to London, offering both convenience and charm. The cottage is being sold with no onward chain, allowing for a straightforward purchase. The home retains several original features, including fireplaces that add character to the living space. However, there is significant potential to extend the property, subject to planning permission. This could enable the addition of another bedroom or an enhancement of the living areas, making it an even more attractive residence for families or potential renters. Outside, the extensive 150ft rear garden offers ample space for outdoor activities and gatherings. The large driveway provides convenient parking options—an essential feature in village settings where street parking can be limited. Great Missenden itself is a picturesque village nestled in the Chiltern Hills, recognized as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area boasts a historic high street with local shops, cafés, and pubs that reflect the essence of English country life. Additionally, its association with beloved author Roald Dahl adds a unique cultural touch to the community. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, numerous walking and cycling routes are available in the surrounding countryside. The proximity to nearby towns such as Amersham and High Wycombe further enhances this location's appeal by providing additional amenities and services. In summary, this cottage not only represents a charming home but also offers promising renovation potential in a tranquil yet well-connected setting.
