“I was working as a farm veterinarian which took me all over the county and I was very familiar with Padbury as I had driven through it numerous times. We were looking to move a bit closer to where most of my work was, so we were

delighted when Wayside Cottage came on to the market. Tucked away off the main street, it’s full of character and appealed to us straight away,” recall the current

owners.

KEY FEATURESWayside Cottage is a detached Grade II Listed Cottage, that is nicely tucked away down a small lane. A particularly fine feature of the property is the well planted rear garden. There are lawns, planted borders and fruit trees and patio and seating areas which lend themselves to outside dining and barbeques and a small brick shed with power offers and ideal place for a drinks fridge. The current owners often spend evenings sitting on a bench at the foot of the garden taking in the tremendous views over adjoining countryside.

The property is approached by a driveway to the side with gated access to ample off-road parking and there is enough space to the front of the gates for a visitor to pull up off road.

Inside the accommodation offers much character with exposed beams and fireplaces and there are a variety of reception rooms ideal for entertaining and to allow family members some independence and gas fired radiator heating makes it nice and cosy place to settle down.

Steps lead to Oak Entrance door with leaded light effect peep window leading to:

Snug/Study focusing on a brick fireplace with a Parkray double fronted wood burner which communicates with the Dining Room, there is space for a two-seater sofa and a study area providing space for a desk with a window overlooking the rear garden. In the room there are exposed ceiling beams and stairs rise to the first floor with an under-stair cupboard providing useful storage space.

From Snug/Study a stable door gives access to the

Kitchen/Breakfast Room Refitted in 2011 and comprising granite worksurface with inset ceramic Belfast sink with chrome mixer tap with a window overlooking the lane. Gas fired 4 ring hob with brushed stainless steel hood with cream shaker style units comprising cupboards and drawers. Former fireplace with inset cupboards either side of space for an electric range cooker. Oak unit with glazed display cabinet with shelf for cookbooks. Terracotta tiled floor. Single glazed window to rear garden. Space for breakfast table. Exposed beams and ceiling timbers. Space for dishwasher. Opening leading to:

SELLER INSIGHT We’ve lived here for nearly 17 years and have made a number of enhancements to the property. Perhaps the biggest change was the

conversion of the stable and cart shed into what is now our sitting room which is linked to the main cottage by a lovely little hallway. It’s a wonderful room that is always warm and cosy, especially when we light the woodburning stove. French doors open to the garden, so it’s perfect for when we are entertaining and we have enjoyed hosting many family celebrations, including a 90th birthday party and a 70th wedding anniversary.”

“The village is well situated for easy access to wherever you need to go, including Milton Keynes and Buckingham. The surrounding countryside is delightful and it’s great for walking our dogs along the numerous footpaths. There’s plenty of things to do in the local area, including day trips to Stowe National Trust Property which is a fabulous place to visit and walk around the gardens. I must also give a mention to the award-winning village butcher who is absolutely brilliant.”

“My wife is a keen gardener and has transformed the outdoor space. The patio nearest the house is ideal for al fresco dining and BBQs, whilst the little patio area at the bottom of the garden is the perfect spot to sit with a G&T as we watch the sun set over the fields. We enjoy a good harvest from the numerous fruit trees, including peach, mulberry, apple, pears and greengages, so we are never short of fruit! The garden opens to farmland where we often see the sheep grazing, as well as a huge array of wildlife throughout the year.”“We’ve been very happy here, but the time is right to move closer to our family. We will miss our cosy house in this friendly village where we were made to feel most welcome from the very beginning,” conclude the current owners.*
