The property sits in a sunny location on the edge of the village of Ibstone, opposite woodland and close to the Common and cricket green. The property is well-presented and spacious with light and bright accommodation. There is a double size sitting room with doors to a south-west facing patio, a dining room with doors to the terrace and back garden and a well-fitted kitchen with dining area overlooking the garden.
Upstairs, the main bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and is reached via a separate bedroom which would make a fine dressing room or bedroom. There are two further double bedrooms and a recently refitted family shower room.
Willow Cottage is approached off the lane via a 5 bar gate and into the spacious gravel driveway. There is a pretty area of lawn, some seasonal planting and two mature Willow trees. The gravel drive leads down the side of the house and round to the double garage and covered car port. This has a side door, two double doors and could be used as a gym, workshop or office (stc). The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with bushes and shrubs for privacy and seclusion. A hedge at the bottom of the garden divides it from the fields beyond. French windows open from the sitting room and kitchen onto the paved terrace, a lovely place from which to enjoy the views.
Ibstone sits high in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, edged by bluebell woods and home to a great variety of wildlife. The village has just 200 residents and there is a great sense of community and a thriving cricket club which plays on the village green. The origins of the village can be traced back to the 8th century and the name derives from Ibba’s Stones, later recorded in the Doomsday book as Hibestanes. There has been a parish church here for over a thousand years. There is a popular Church of England Primary School and a 300 year old pub, The Chilterns Fox.
Trains to London, Marylebone are from High Wycombe station (10 miles) and access to the M40 (J5) is just 1.5 miles away. Being in Buckinghamshire, residents of Ibstone are eligible for the superb Grammar School system, rated by many as being the equivalent of (or better than) many private schools. There are wonderful walks in the village across the common land and along the various footpaths in the Chilterns.
