£545,000

A surprisingly spacious Grade II listed two bedroom cottage extending to approximately 1036 sq ft with an extended open-plan kitchen/dining room, an approximately 75 ft garden and a useful summerhouse/garden office.
Situated in one of the most picturesque stretches of Long Crendon’s renowned High Street, St Mary’s Cottage enjoys an enviable position just moments from the beautiful parish church and the historic Old Court House owned by the National Trust. Surrounded by an array of fine period homes, this charming 17th century cottage offers character, warmth and surprisingly generous accommodation throughout.
On entering the property, a spacious reception hall with cloakroom provides access to a delightful L-shaped sitting room rich in period character, featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and attractive parquet flooring. In more recent years the cottage has been thoughtfully extended to create an open-plan kitchen/dining room, incorporating the original kitchen area to provide an excellent everyday living and entertaining space. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of floor and wall mounted cupboards and opens seamlessly into a generous dining area with direct access onto the terrace and rear garden. To the first floor, a charming landing leads to a particularly attractive double-aspect principal bedroom measuring approximately 16 ft, whilst the second bedroom benefits from built-in storage. Both bedrooms are served by a bathroom with Aqualisa shower over the bath.
Outside, the property enjoys a mature rear garden extending to approximately 75 ft, laid mainly to lawn with a raised terrace ideally suited to al fresco dining and entertaining. The garden also features a timber summer house with power and light connected. St Mary’s Cottage is offered to the market with no onward chain.
