An impressive country home known as Swallow Cottage, with roots as far back as 200 years, has just been listed by estate agents for £1.75 million.
This characterful property located in Dagnall, Buckinghamshire, offers a stylish, functional living space merged with a host of retained historical features.
The property's unique blend of character and space is evident from the sizable, welcoming dining hall that features an exposed brick fireplace, log burner, and charming wooden beams.
The extended and updated building also boasts a generously proportioned lounge, replete with a reading nook and a built-in window seat.
For those seeking outdoor leisure; patio doors from the lounge lead to a pool area.
On one side of the dining hall lies a contemporary kitchen, complete with a central island, multiple spaces for dining, and a soft seating area.
The kitchen, which is steeped in sunlight coming in through the patio doors and the rear Bay window, provides views of a garden with a swimming pool.
Other notable appointments in the kitchen include a 6 ring range, two sunken sinks, and oak flooring throughout.
Situated beyond the kitchen is a home office that offers views of the rear garden and suits the current remote work lifestyle.
On the upper level, the property continues to showcase its spacious design with multiple double bedrooms, including a main suite with dual-aspect windows offering splendid views of the front and rear countryside.
The primary suite, in particular, is equipped with built-in wardrobes and a walk-in shower en suite.
What is more, there is also a dressing area overlooking the Ashridge estate.
The outdoor space of Swallow Cottage is just as enticing as its interiors.
Sheltered from the main road, the house offers complete privacy, and a coachman driveway can accommodate multiple vehicles’ parking, according to the estate agent.
The south-facing garden gives way to open fields and boasts a fully heated swimming pool.
An expansive area past the swimming pool provides options for children’s play, sports activities, or ideally, a home for some animals.
Significantly, the property could offer future expansion potential, as the above-garage storage could potentially be converted into an annex, subject to necessary planning permissions.
This noteworthy Buckinghamshire property does not only provide an opportunity for a family looking for generous accommodation but also a slice of history.
Its location also affords easy access to neighbouring towns and train stations including Berkhamsted and Tring, within the Buckinghamshire grammar school catchment.
This country home is a remarkable blend of old-world charm and modern conveniences, delicately intertwined.
