Cherry Tree Cottage is a very pretty, Grade II listed cottage believed to date back to the 15th/16th centuries. The property is approached from the lane into the hamlet down a driveway, leading to the garaging and parking beyond, which has gated access to the gardens and pathway to the front of the house. The accommodation is as in the floor plans, arranged over two floors. The ground floor is entered via a wide entrance hall, which, in turn, gives access to either the sitting room with inglenook fireplace or dining room, again with open fire, and French doors to the gardens. Beyond the sitting room is a nice size study which could be a fourth bedroom and benefits from an en suite shower room. The kitchen, pantry and rear porch complete the ground floor.
To the first floor there is the principal bedroom, two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and night cloakroom.
Gardens and Grounds:
The gardens are laid principally to lawn with numerous specimen trees, and bordered by hedging, and post and wire fencing. There is a nice, paved terrace to the rear of the property accessed via French doors from the dining room. In total the gardens extend to approximately 0.66 acres.
Cherry Tree Cottage is situated in a quiet, tucked away spot in the small hamlet of Little Hampden. The village was first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and is surrounded by open fields and woodland, interspersed with numerous bridleways and footpaths, including The Ridgeway, which is a walk through history – used since prehistoric times by travellers, herdsmen and soldiers. Little Hampden is also classed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The nearby town of Great Missenden offers shopping for day to day needs, with a wider selection of shops available in Amersham and Aylesbury.
Cherry Tree Cottage lies within close proximity to a number of Ofsted rated ‘Outstanding Schools’, both state and independent catering for children of all ages.
