Fine Homes Property are excited to present a superb opportunity to move to a 2500 square foot detached home in the heart of Stewkley. Applewood House is a five bedroom home with two bathrooms, three reception rooms plus utility/boot room. Across the driveway you have a self-contained beautiful annexe with another bedroom, bathroom and kitchen/diner with vaulted ceiling and log burner. Approximately half an acre of mature gardens completes the property, all of this is backing onto nothing but Buckinghamshire countryside.
If This Was Your Home...
You'll stroll up the gravelled driveway and have a choice of spaces to explore – the main house on your right, the gardens straight ahead of you or the annexe on your left.
Let's head into the main house for now. In here you're welcomed by a terracotta floored entrance hall, with your staircase rising ahead and a charming wood burner on your right. A warm welcome on winter nights and the first of many charming period details to be found here.
Take a left for your 220 square foot sitting room through an original farmhouse door. In here timber beams run overhead, and natural light flows throughout thanks to two large windows and a set of patio doors opening up to the gardens. We'll get out there in a moment. Softly carpeted, there's a working open fireplace in here too, for more cosy winter evenings.
Returning to your entrance hall – lots of incidental space here for bag and coats – let's head straight ahead for your sleek, contemporary, and recently refitted open plan kitchen and breakfast room. An impressive 350 square feet, a substantial chef's island takes centre stage with smoky grey cabinets, all topped with chunky white counters and home to an oversized range oven. Windows to the side aspect again flooding the room with natural light.
Underfoot, quality oak laminate flooring gives way to classic flagstones as you enter the breakfast room. Once again bright with natural light, with patio doors leading to the garden.
Another farmhouse door leads you to the utility room, WC and pantry. All useful extra spaces in the family home.
Finally, your ground floor's completed by the family room, a 120 square foot dual aspect room ideal for all manner of uses such as dining room, office, play room or second TV room. With herringbone timber flooring and a further lovely fireplace.
Upstairs a split-level landing leads to your five bedrooms, all substantial doubles ranging from 100 to 175 square feet, and all but one being dual aspect. Whether you need the full complement of sleeping arrangements or an extra home working space, the sheer flexibility here will suit even the largest of families.
Finally, the main house is completed by two bathrooms, one with walk-in shower and the other with a panelled bath suite and dark timber beams overhead.
Back outside and across your driveway for that impressive self-contained annexe. In here your 200 square foot kitchen/lounge sits below a beautiful vaulted ceiling inset with timber beams, and skylights. There's also a matching timber lintel above the log burner. This annexe is ideal for multi generational living.
Down the hall and past the annexe bathroom and you have a lovely principal suite. It's a further 160 square foot double with patio doors leading out to your impressive rear gardens. There is a separate garden with a cosy summerhouse for the annexe providing independence and privacy if desired.
So, let's step out and take a look.
Truly vast, and artfully divided, your rear gardens start with a generous lawn, home to mature trees and a rose border, all surrounded by high hedges for total privacy.
There's so much more to explore, around half an acre in fact.
Step through a second gate (great for keeping the kids in sight where you can see them) and you have an even greater expanse of lawn, ending in a meticulously arranged kitchen garden, a fruit cage and a collection of fruit trees. Once again it's all surrounded by substantial high hedges, and giving onto nothing but glorious open Bucks countryside. This garden must be seen in person to be believed, there is so much on offer here.
Your Local Area
Stewkley is a thriving community with a population of less than 2000. Rich with history, the Norman church is beautifully preserved and the village boasts one of the longest high streets in the country. The local village school and shop are a 10-minute walk from Applewood House, which is also in catchment for popular secondary schools, including the Aylesbury Grammars, with a choice of several independent schools nearby.
The village is blessed with a spacious, well-maintained recreation ground which is buzzing at the weekend with local football teams of all ages and a long tradition of village cricket. A village hall hosts regular theatre productions and it is only a short drive to excellent Sunday lunches at the Betsey Wynne pub or ice cream at Mursley Farm shop.
For golfers, Aylesbury Vale Golf Course is just outside the village and other options include Woburn Golf Club which has three courses, all ranking in the top 100 in the UK.
Handy for Leighton Buzzard and Milton Keynes, Stewkley is nonetheless far enough from both to retain its own distinctive character. Leighton Buzzard station in particular is just a twelve minute drive, and offers regular fast trains that will whisk you to London Euston in under thirty minutes.
