Aylesbury Road, Askett, HP27

Set within a gated 0.19-acre plot, this charming late-1800s cottage blends period character with thoughtful modern upgrades. The property features painter-rendered elevations and a garage / outbuilding with electric roller door, power supply and ample driveway parking.

The private west-facing garden is a real highlight, enjoying afternoon and evening sun and offering a full-width patio, lawn, well stocked borders, plus a two sheds and greenhouse ideal for keen gardeners or relaxed outdoor entertaining.

Internally, the cottage retains a wealth of period features, including exposed beams, original internal latch doors, and a character fireplace with log burning stove in the sitting room. Living accommodation is well balanced, with a separate dining room, utility/cloakroom, and a modern conservatory added in 2017, which enjoys attractive views over the garden and provides an excellent additional reception space.

Since 2017, the property has benefited from a comprehensive programme of modern enhancements, including a new boiler, water softener, replacement windows, kitchen modifications, updated flooring, redecoration, and the conservatory addition as well as the log burning stove.

Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, with the principal bedroom enjoying a dual aspect. The bathroom is well appointed with a freestanding roll-top bath, complementing the home’s period charm.

Located in the sought-after village of Askett, the property is within easy reach of the village pub and restaurant, and benefits from a regular bus route linking High Wycombe and Aylesbury via Princes Risborough.
