Tucked away along a private drive in the idyllic village of Penn, in the heart of the Chiltern countryside, West Cottage is a beautifully restored 1930s home that perfectly blends period charm with modern family living. Surrounded by open countryside and woodland walks, it offers a peaceful and private setting while remaining conveniently close to local amenities, with Beaconsfield and High Wycombe just a short drive away for excellent shopping, dining, and fast train services into London Marylebone.
Accessed via secure electric gates, the property is approached by a generous block-paved driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles, alongside a detached garage complete with EV charging point. The home is further enhanced by security cameras, offering additional peace of mind, while the landscaped south and south-west facing gardens wrap around the property, creating a wonderfully private and sun-filled outdoor space.
Having been fully modernised and thoughtfully updated by the current owner, the interior offers spacious, flexible accommodation finished to an exceptional standard. A welcoming entrance hall, laid with elegant Ted Todd flooring and benefitting from underfloor heating throughout much of the ground floor, sets the tone for the quality within.
The triple-aspect reception room is a standout feature, flooded with natural light and centred around a striking limestone fireplace with log burning stove, complemented by bespoke cabinetry and shelving. To the rear, the heart of the home lies in the impressive kitchen/dining room, fitted with hand-painted bespoke cabinetry, quartz and wooden worktops, and a butler’s sink with filtered water tap. A peninsula breakfast bar provides a sociable focal point, while French doors open onto a beautifully tiled veranda with reclaimed Spanish tiles, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. Integrated appliances include a large fridge and freezer, dishwasher, wine fridge, bin drawer, and with space for a Rangemaster or Everhot cooker.
Adjoining the kitchen is a practical boot room with its own entrance, alongside a well-equipped utility room offering additional storage, plumbing for laundry appliances, a sink, and external access. The ground floor also provides a versatile study, a stylish shower room, and a generous fifth double bedroom, ideal for guests or multi-generational living.
Upstairs, a bright and spacious landing leads to four further double bedrooms. The principal suite is a superb triple-aspect room featuring fitted wardrobes, a charming fireplace, and French doors opening onto a Juliette balcony with delightful views over the garden. The remaining bedrooms are all well-proportioned doubles, many with dual-aspect windows and integrated storage, offering excellent flexibility for family life.
Two beautifully appointed bathrooms serve the first floor, including a luxurious family bathroom with freestanding bath, vanity unit, and underfloor heating, alongside a further contemporary shower room with walk-in monsoon shower.
The gardens are a true highlight, thoughtfully designed to maximise sunlight and privacy, with mature hedging, established trees, and a variety of seating areas ideal for both entertaining and quiet enjoyment. A sunken trampoline adds a family-friendly touch, while practical features such as hot and cold outdoor taps enhance convenience.
To the rear of the garden sits a superb, fully equipped garden room with bi-fold doors, heating, sink, and WC. This versatile space lends itself perfectly as a wonderful entertainment area, home office, gym, studio, or relaxing retreat, adding yet another dimension to this exceptional home.
West Cottage is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful yet contemporary home in one of Buckinghamshire’s most sought-after villages, offering the perfect balance of countryside living and modern convenience.
