6 bedroom detached house for sale

A truly impressive and deceptively spacious Grade II listed farmhouse, understood to date back to circa 1600, offering an exceptional blend of period character, generous accommodation and beautifully considered modern improvements. Having undergone an extensive programme of updating and enhancement by the current vendors, the property now provides a wonderful standard of living throughout, whilst retaining the charm and character expected of a home of this heritage.

Approached via a long private driveway, the property immediately makes an impression, with extensive off-street parking for numerous vehicles, a generous lawned frontage and an impressive triple garage with additional annexe accommodation above. The main house extends to approximately 4,602 sq ft, providing wonderfully versatile accommodation arranged over several floors.

At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining room, beautifully appointed and finished to a high specification, creating an exceptional space for both everyday family living and entertaining. The ground floor further offers a particularly welcoming entrance hall, a generous living room, separate snug, useful boot room and additional storage and service areas.

The upper floors provide an extensive range of bedroom accommodation, complemented by bathroom and shower facilities, offering excellent flexibility for larger families, visiting guests or those requiring additional home-working space. The annexe above the triple garage provides further independent living potential, with its own kitchen, living and dining area, two bedrooms and bathroom. There is also a detached outbuilding currently arranged as a gym.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The immediate gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by well-stocked flower and shrub borders, creating an attractive setting around the house. Beyond the formal gardens, which extend to just over half an acre, the property further benefits from an adjoining paddock of approximately one and a half acres, offering excellent scope for those seeking additional outdoor space, lifestyle or equestrian opportunities (subject to any necessary consents).

Despite the extensive improvements, much of the property's original character has been beautifully retained, with features including exposed wall and ceiling beams, traditional wood panelling and impressive inglenook fireplaces, all contributing to the wonderful atmosphere and heritage of this individual home.

Situated on Wycombe Road in the popular village of Prestwood, the property enjoys a semi-rural setting within the beautiful Chiltern Hills, whilst remaining conveniently positioned for village amenities, local schooling and the neighbouring towns and villages. Great Missenden provides a wider range of facilities together with a railway station offering services into London Marylebone, whilst the surrounding countryside provides an abundance of scenic walks and outdoor pursuits.

Knives Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful period farmhouse, combining impressive proportions, quality modern living, additional accommodation and generous grounds in a highly regarded Chiltern village.
