5 Bedroom Property for Sale in Princes Risborough

Longacre was constructed around 1952 with two owners since new. In around 1957 and more latterly 1970 works and extensions were carried out that now represent the property today. As the name would suggest the property lies on a plot of just over an acre. The accommodation on two floors offers the following; entrance hall, cloakroom, an elegant 18'11 x 12'10 dining room with fireplace, 25'4 x 12'11 sitting room that provides a pleasant outlook over the gardens and grounds. A 13'11 x 9'5 kitchen and utility room (in need of modernisation). On the first floor there is particularly pleasing accommodation with five bedrooms. The very spacious and double aspect 18'11 x 12'10 master bedroom and adjoining en suite is position in the west wing of the property which would further enhance the scope for a 'separate area' for a granny/au pair or teenager. There are four further bedrooms which for the most part offer views over the gardens and grounds and far reaching views of the Chilterns and woodlands beyond. Most bedrooms offer built in wardrobes and vanity units with wash basins. The scope exists for further re-configuration of this floor. There is an integral garage complete with 1950's style twin timber doors.
