5 bed country house for sale

Crendon Road, Shabbington, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire HP18

Welcome...
Make your way through the serene village of Shabbington to Paddock View, a significantly enhanced and affectionately extended family home nestled behind a front lawned garden with a gravelled and flagged footpath to the front door. The thoughtful upgrades to the property have not only increased the floor space but also enhanced the creation of a fantastic open-plan layout perfect for entertaining family and friends, reimagining the design for a modern lifestyle. The blackened timber cladding is both eye-catching and in harmony with the typical Buckinghamshire barns within the local vernacular.

Come on in...
The oak lobby, with its glazed vaulted ceiling, creates a light and bright entrance to the home. Move through the double doors, and the hallway opens before you, offering a sneak peek into the sitting room and the gardens beyond.

There is a study tucked away to the right of the entrance, a quiet place to work in peace, away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the home. There is also a useful downstairs WC. The dining room is a lovely area with engineered wooden flooring, perfect for hosting formal dinner parties.

Moving on from the dining room, there is a lovely sitting room with a log burner that gives a sense of cosiness on winter evenings. The French doors at the rear open up into the gardens.

"The property is really great for entertaining; we've had some fabulous gatherings over the years."

Heart Of The Home...
The kitchen is an open-plan social space with tiled flooring that continues through the kitchen and utility room, through the dining area into the living space. Light pours into this spacious room from the large roof lantern and the full-height windows in the sitting area. The oak timbers of the extension are exposed to showcase the traditional construction methods used in this lovely addition.

"Sitting in the kitchen and looking down the garden is very special."

The area allows for an informal dining space and continues through the kitchen. Here, there are duck egg wooden units topped with butcher block worktops. There is also a matching, free-standing butcher's block for additional workspace and storage. The Rangemaster double oven is ready to prepare your family's favourite dishes, as well as an integrated fridge and dishwasher appliances.

Finally, there is a useful utility room with units for storage, space for a tumble dryer, plumbing for a washing machine, and a boiler. A door from here also leads out to the side of the property.

Outside...
The front garden is nestled behind luscious laurel hedge and beech hedging, creating an immensely private and secure area to enjoy. The footpath snakes across the lawn, leading up to a cottage, rockery garden and paved terrace seating area, passing the fragrant lilac tree. This terrace extends to the side of the property where there is a circular glasshouse, with its own power supply, ideal for use as a summerhouse or growing fruit and veggies.

Follow the paving around to the rear of the property, to the extensive patio area where there is room for seating and dining. Uplit with LED lighting, the flowing stepped oak sleepers framing to the rear lawn creates a delightful place to enjoy a BBQ in the summer months, long into the evening.

"The patio is an extension of the property; the doors are almost always open in the summer months."

The lawn stretches out, creating the perfect place for children to play and burn off some energy in the sun-filled gardens. At the end of the day, as the sun begins to set, make your way to the seating area at the other end of the lawn to enjoy the last rays before night falls.

The double garage is at the rear of the property with power and light, remote control doors and storage in the rafters. There is also parking for two vehicles in front of the garage and an EV charger. The private rear cul-de-sac access to the properties also has additional parking for visitors in the hammerhead.
