6 bed detached house for sale

Lower Icknield Way, Princes Risborough HP27

Chadwell Hill Farm offers the kind of space that is increasingly hard to find, both inside and out. The house has flexible accommodation set over three floors, with six bedrooms, five bathrooms, four reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room. It would make a wonderful family home, while also offering excellent scope for guests or home working. The acreage is split into landscaped gardens and fenced paddocks, offering particular interest for equestrian use or smallholding pursuits. Additional land is available to rent via separate negotiation.

The front door opens into a central hallway, with the principal reception rooms arranged around it.

The living room is a generous and welcoming space, full of character, with a fireplace and lovely views across the grounds. It offers plenty of room for everyday family life, socialising and entertaining. A second separate sitting room provides further flexibility and could be used as a snug, study, playroom or second television room.

The dining room is particularly spacious, with doors opening out to the garden and a comfortable, traditional feel, making it ideal for both family meals and larger gatherings.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a particularly charming part of the house and is likely to be the heart of the home. It has a real country-house feel, with fitted units, a central island, space for a table and a range cooker, creating a warm, practical and sociable space.

Next to the kitchen is a large utility room with built in cupboards and work surfaces, providing an excellent space for laundry, muddy coats and boots and pets!

There is also a further family room on the ground floor, adding another versatile living space that could be adapted for a variety of uses. A visitors WC and outside store room complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor has five bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with walk in wardrobe and en suite bathroom. Two other bedrooms benefit from en suite bathrooms, whilst the remaining two share the well equipped family bathroom. All the bedrooms are large doubles.

The second floor provides a very private sixth bedroom with en suite facilities, along with a large attic/storage area.

The land at the property is one of its defining features. Chadwell Hill Farm sits in around 3.6 acres, with beautiful walled gardens around the house and fenced paddocks with a double field shelter beyond. The paddocks are suitable for horses or other livestock, and the overall layout would also work well for anyone looking for a manageable smallholding, subject to their own requirements. There may also be scope to explore further equestrian facilities, subject to any necessary consents. The current owners have looked into the addition of stables and garaging within the property curtilage under permitted development rights.

For families, the grounds offer a rare amount of outdoor space. There is room for children to play, space for dogs, and plenty of scope for outdoor living. The combination of garden and paddock land gives the property plenty of flexibility for a variety of uses.

The long driveway allows the property a private approach and leads to a large parking area with space for numerous vehicles. There is also a brick shed, useful for garden equipment, tools, feed, tack or general storage.
