DESCRIPTION
Tucked away in a charming laneway just off the town green, this spacious residence is on the market for the first time since it was built by the present owners in 1976. Haddenham is a picturesque town gathered around a green and pond overlooked by a historic church and pubs. The village is steeped in the rich history of its Roman origins, and has a direct fast train link to London Marylebone in 43 minutes.
This exceptional 5 bedroom property sits within a private walled garden of just under half an acre. The ground floor features a spacious double aspect modern eat-in kitchen with a gas fired Aga. With its abundance of natural light and ample space for dining, this kitchen is sure to be the heart of the home. Adjacent to the kitchen is a grand dining room with a vaulted ceiling and gallery walkway, and a working fireplace that adds warmth and character to gatherings with family and friends. For leisurely entertainment, there is a billiard room, which takes a full size table (this restored 1870s antique is available by separate negotiation with original cues) adorned with beautiful parquetry flooring, perfect for games and socializing. The southfacing drawing room is bathed in sunlight, with double sliding doors leading out to a terrace, which has views across a lawn and borders. Complete with a fully functional log burner fireplace, this room provides a cozy retreat during cooler evenings.
Upstairs, the accommodation comprises three bedrooms, each offering comfort and privacy, as well as a separate main bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom and a dressing room, providing a luxurious sanctuary for relaxation. The main bedroom has windows on three sides looking into the garden. Furthermore there is an attic providing amble storage and access to the roof.
In addition to the main house, there is a self-contained annex above the quadruple garage which is separate from the house. This is ideal for guests or as a source of rental income through platforms like Airbnb. This annex boasts one bedroom, an open-plan living room and kitchen area, and a modern bathroom. With its own gas boiler, separate Wi-Fi connection, and independent amenities, the annex offers convenience and flexibility. We can provide a record of income.
Outside features a beautifully landscaped garden adorned with plum and apple trees. For storage and convenience, there are three garden sheds, as well as a quadruple garage with an additional storage room and 2 single double oak frame car ports. Security is ensured with CCTV surveillance and electric gates across the front of the property. The house is supplied with mains water, although there is also a well on the premises.
With its exceptional location, this extraordinary family property offers a truly unparalleled lifestyle opportunity in the heart of historic Haddenham. According to the Parish Council, “Haddenham has featured in various ‘best place to live’ surveys. It has been the location for many film and TV productions, particularly Midsomer Murders. In 2018 it was shortlisted and featured in the Channel 4 series ‘Village of the Year’. Haddenham’s historic built heritage includes a large Conservation Area, ponds, 120 listed buildings, and a listed garden at Turn End”. Haddenham has primary, secondary and sixth form schools, and there is grammar school in Aylesbury (6.5 miles). Haddenham is a short distance from the delighted high street of Thame (8 mins, 3.4 miles) and the iconic shopping centre of Bicester Village (30 minutes, 16 miles) or one stop (14 minutes) on the train.
