Semi-detached house for sale in Water Lane, Ford, Aylesbury HP17

Actively used for equestrian purposes and whilst the grounds and setting are undoubtedly one of the key attractions of this property, it is apparent that great care has been taken of this late 1800's residence. The entrance hall, leads to the bespoke kitchen/breakfast and family room with lovely views through the full length bi-folding doors to the garden and paddocks beyond. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility/boot room with plenty of storage cupboards, plumbing and space for a washing machine and dryer. The sitting and dining rooms benefit from a wood-burning stove and solid oak flooring, with the study located next to the sitting room. On the first floor are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, all capitalising upon the breath-taking views.
Viewing is highly recommended in order to fully appreciate the true extent of the property's charm, character and range of accommodation.
