Detached house for sale in Nags Head Lane, Great Missenden HP16

Set back from the road, this property sits on an elevated position, making the most of stunning views and the surrounding countryside. It was originally built in the 1950s, with later additions that benefit from large windows in many of the rooms. The rear of the house has a southerly aspect and there are several perfect spots including a decked pergola area for al fresco dining and soaking up the vista. The triple aspect sitting room is delightful with a vaulted ceiling; light and airy in the summer months and with a wood-burning stove for cooler days. The dining room, with working fireplace, adjoins the kitchen which opens to the conservatory at the rear of the house. There are three bedrooms on this level with the principal suite overlooking the gardens and orchard beyond.
Rising to the first floor, there are two further bedrooms, one with a walk-in store/wardrobe. The lower ground floor is used by the current owners as an office. It could, however, work well as an annexe, guest suite or au pair accommodation.
