Property description
A substantial and imposing five bedroom residence originally built in the 1930's with later additions, located a short distance from the village centre and bounded to the majority by open farmland. Offering exciting improvement and enhancement opportunities, and enjoying grounds in excess of half an acre, The Limes is an exceptional family home. Kitchen/Breakfast Room, Lounge, Dining Room, Family Room, Double Aspect Garden Room, Office/Fitness Room, Five Double Bedrooms, Two Family Bathrooms, Double Integral Garage, Single Garage/Workshop, Mature and Private Gardens, In all 0.55 Acres
Returning to the market for the first time in 35 years, The Limes was originally constructed for the farm manager of neighbouring Ninneywood Farm. Having been the subject of significant expansion over the years by both the previous and current owners, the impressively spacious and stunning accommodation offers further potential for personalisation.
In brief the accommodation comprises: Entrance Hall, Inner Hallway, double aspect Dining Room with traditional brick built open fireplace, formal Lounge fitted with woodburner and opening via French doors, to the Family Room. Sliding doors lead from the Family Room to the partially covered terrace. Comprehensively fitted Kitchen with corner seating area and original Raeburn boiler (currently not in service). 'Cloister' room which could be utilised as an Office/Fitness room. Remaining on the Ground Floor, and of particular note is the Garden Room, which was added by the previous owners and affords delightful views of the rear garden and is fitted with a distinctively shaped Canadian woodburner.
On the first floor there are five double Bedrooms, two Family Bathrooms, access to the loft and a deep Landing storage cupboard.
A convenient gated carriage driveway leads to a further parking area directly in front of the house. The front of the property is well screened with conifer and specimen trees. The expansive rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn and bordered on all sides with a mixture of Laurel hedgerow and mature trees. Included within the property boundary and running along one side is a significant strip of land which was purchased by the present owners. Outbuildings and features include a separate single garage/workshop, further machinery/wood store, traditional working water pump and an original Anderson air raid shelter. We are reliably informed by the owners that due to the surrounding farmland, the rear garden has an abundance of wildlife throughout the year.
The house is just a short distance from the centre of Great Kingshill village which offers basic day to day amenities to it's residents, including a convenience store, village hall, public house/restaurant and village green. Further amenities will be found in nearby Prestwood, Great Missenden and Amersham. The house is also perfectly located to take advantage of the restaurants, wine bars and boutique shops in Old Amersham, Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross, in addition to numerous Chiltern villages. A wide range of major retailers will be found in High Wycombe and Aylesbury. Both Amersham and Great Missenden offer a fast and frequent mainline train service to London Marylebone. Buckinghamshire is also highly considered for it's state and private education.
