Enjoy the delights of Buckinghamshire, a county over 80 kilometres in length but just 16kms wide at its narrowest point, set right in the heart of rural England

 

Buckinghamshire is one of the loveliest of the Home Counties and its Chiltern hills and beechwoods, beautiful River Thames and the rolling acres of Aylesbury Vale make it a place for visitors to enjoy.

 

Lovers of historic houses are spoilt for choice. Selections include the magnificent Rothchild treasure house of Waddesdon Manor, Benjamin Disraeli’s home at Hughenden Manor, the 13th Century Chenies Manor and the stunning Cliveden gardens high on the banks of the Thames.

 

Peterley Corner is a striking country house believed to date circa 1900 which retains many of its original features together with the modern comforts of refurbished ensuite bath and shower rooms and a well appointed kitchen.

 

Set in mature gardens extending to a total of approximately 8.8 acres, the main house comprises of four main reception rooms, including an elegant drawing room with parquet flooring and a dining room with impressive wood panelling and inglenook fireplace. Two staircases lead up to the first floor where there are five bedrooms and four well appointed bath and shower rooms, three of which are ensuite. A further staircase leads to two interconnecting loft rooms and the property also has a cellar.

 

The Gardener’s Cottage is a three bedroom detached cottage which offers great potential but is currently in need of some modernisation. Adjacent to this around an enclosed courtyard are three garages, stable and outhouses.

 

Set well back and well screened there is a winding gravel driveway with a fork to the main house and cottage. There are expansive areas of lawn, a terrace and formal garden.

 

This freehold house is looking for a loving family to be its owner. It has been generously priced at an affordable and discounted rate of £2.3 million (BD1.32 million).
