Once a public house, The Golden Cross is now a beautiful Grade II listed family home on the High Street in Long Crendon.
Throughout its long history, entertaining has been woven into the fibres of this home. There is space for fun-filled dinner parties, a large cellar for storing your wine and even a pizza oven outside.
Believed to have been built in 1546, this quirky 4 bedroom house seamlessly combines the old with the new. Modern-day living and creature comforts bring it right into the 21st Century whilst still retaining the historical importance of the building.
The family selling The Golden Cross have lived here for 20 years. Over that time, the property has seen their family grow and change and has adapted with them.
These private gardens once housed swing sets and climbing frames, but as the children have grown up, it is now perfect for summer BBQs, complete with a space for teenagers to hang out and even outdoor heaters.
Stepping into the original part of the property, you will see many exposed timber beams and brickwork and the low ceilings are snug and comforting. The decor is simple to let these original features speak for themselves.
The underfloor heating throughout most of the ground floor provides a gentle warmth as you get ready for your day.
The original part of the home has 2 separate living rooms and a dining room, so there will be no fights over what to watch on the TV, or perhaps one of these rooms would make an excellent home office.
Walking through to the extended part of the property, you will see the contrast between the old and the new. It is modern and trendy with trifold doors out onto the patio, edged with charming lavender.
The impressive designer kitchen is sure to be every budding chef's dream! With almost 4 meters of granite worktops, an abundance of shelving and storage, a boiling water tap and 3 separate ovens, you will be cooking up a feast, ready to serve out on the patio on a summer evening or in the dining room in the cooler months.
Sitting just above the kitchen is the master suite. A retreat of natural light and tranquillity. A dressing room gives an abundance of storage, and there is a shower room separate from the rest of the bedrooms in the property, meaning it could also be used as a chic guest room.
Walking back through the kitchen to the hallway and ascending the oak staircase, the first floor promises character behind each door. The 3 comfortable bedrooms are all doubles and have plenty of space.
There will be no worries about queuing for a bathroom on a busy morning as there are two to choose from here.
Imagine a hot summers' day with the children playing on the lawn. Adults sip ice-cold lemonade whilst chatting on the patio. Meanwhile, the budding chef kneads the pizza dough and prepares the toppings with the natural breeze coming through the trifold doors.
As the afternoon draws on, a bottle of wine is brought up from the cellar to accompany an array of homemade pizzas.
The vegetable patch may have been neglected in recent years as life gets in the way, but it wouldn't take much to whip it into shape, and you will be cooking your homegrown produce before you know it.
Long Crendon is a village, in the truest sense of the word. With a wealth of organised events, it is perfect for anyone that loves to get involved in village life.
Pubs, shops and restaurants mean that you don't need to go far for an evening out and there are always babysitters available!
The school catchment location for Long Crendon spans across the borders of Buckinghamshire and Oxford, so you can be sure that there will be an excellent school available for your little ones to suit their academic needs.<br /><br />
