This beautiful family home, set in the charming Buckinghamshire village of Ickford, has been lovingly added to with great care and sensitivity over many years, subtly pairing the character of its 17th-century foundations with thoughtful modern updates all set on a superb 3-acre plot.
The plan in its entirety spans just under 3,740 sq ft, comprising a the main house, a separate 2-bed annexe and further 4 outbuilding which include a stable block with tack room and workshop nested in the large paddock (1.9 acres). The property is surrounded by lovingly tended formal gardens with a separate vegetable garden and greenhouse.
The property also has additional planning permission for a large two-car garage with electric charging station.
The Tour
You are welcomed to Meadowcroft by a gated entrance leading to a large gravel driveway with parking for several cars. The charming front garden frames the house with lawn and flower boarders. There is also a parcel safe delivery box smartly integrated into the garden wall.
Rich in historical context, the original 17th century building has been sympathetically extended twice but full of architectural character and original detailing.
A series of spacious and cosy livings spaces unfold across the ground level, with a modern vaulted ceiling kitchen perfectly combines the old with the new with a charming electric aga as well as an additional modern integrated appliances.
In colder months, the two fires in the snug and large living room become a natural focal point whilst in spring and summer the French doors can be thrown open to patio and back lawn.
Stairs ascend off the front door up to the first floor where you will find the bedrooms. Off to the right you find the quirkiest of the double bedrooms which features a feature original door and family bathroom with bathtub.
If you take a left off the stairs you pass a further bedroom before you reach the Master suite which includes an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe with lovely views of the gardens and paddock. A further double bedroom with built in wardrobes sits at the end of the corridor. All bedrooms are generous in size.
Set independently from the main house is the barn annexe, offering great flexibility and an additional two further bedrooms. The annexe has both a further kitchen and large living space with double doors that open out onto a further patio and the back lawn. The annexe can function completely independently.
Outdoor Space
The gardens are certainly an integral part of the overall experience of the house. Lawns are all bordered by deep flower beds that provide interest all year round.
A productive formal vegetable garden sits off the main lawn with 9 raised beds. Completed with a water source, greenhouse and large compost bin.
Beyond the formal lawns is the paddock which will work for any keen or budding equestrians. The current owners have historically had sheep from a local farmer placed on the paddock.
