Charming Grade II listed farmhouse with land and glorious countryside views now in need of modernisation. Just over three acres in all.
Originally dating back to the 17th century and extended over the years, this delightful four bedroom thatched property is full of character and brimming with potential. Nestled in a peaceful rural setting, it enjoys far-reaching countryside views and sits within generous groundsoffering a rare opportunity to restore a period home to its full charm. Callowdown Farm enjoys an idyllic position yet is just a mile and a half to Bledlow Ridge village and the larger town of Princes Risborough is less than three miles away with fast trains to London, Marylebone.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with most of the rooms enjoying a dual aspect with views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. On the ground floor the front door opens into the reception hall, with a guest cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. The sitting/dining room offers ample room for a large table and a seating area featuring a stone wall and a fireplace. In addition there is a secondary staircase to the first floor. A charming snug features a brick inglenook fireplace and woodburner. To the rear, the kitchen/breakfast room is equipped with a range of country style units and integrated appliances. A dining area allows ample space for a breakfast table.
On the first floor are four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower room.
The gardens and grounds at Callowdown Farm are a real feature of the property. A country track from the main road leads to the driveway leading to the rear of the house with ample parking for multiple vehicles. There is a double garage with a large studio room with balcony above, offering excellent potential for a multitude of uses, subject to the usual consents. There are large areas of lawn interspersed with a variety of mature trees including an orchard with apple and plum trees. Well stocked beds and borders provide seasonal colour and a stream meanders through the garden. Adjoining the rear of the house a patio area provides an ideal spot for outside dining while a covered pergola gives a shady refuge and also features a corner water feature. Further outbuildings include a stable block (in need of repair) with access to a paddock.
