A beautiful period home located in sought after Chiltern village.
2 Folly Cottages is a charming and deceptively large, four-bedroom period home, combining period features with clean, modern finishes throughout. The property has an attractive brick & flint façade and is believed to date from c.1860. It is idyllically positioned being tucked away on the outskirts of the popular Chiltern of Frieth and is within close proximity to all of its amenities including the well-regarded primary school.
Upon entering, the porch provides a separation from the versatile front reception room with an oak floor which runs through into the sitting room. The sitting room provides a great double aspect and a fireplace with a log burning stove. The sympathetic rear extension has added a full-width dining space which is perfect for entertaining and wraps around to the monochrome kitchen, featuring integrated Bosch/Siemens appliances and high-end finishes. A large skylight sits within the extension providing an abundance of natural light and two sets of French doors backing onto the rear patio and garden.
The staircase leads to four bedrooms which are well-proportioned over two additional floors. On the first floor are three bedrooms and a modern family bathroom with Phillipe Starck fittings and a traditional, claw-foot roll-top bath overlooking the garden. The second floor made up of the large principal bedroom with bespoke fitted wardrobes, Velux windows and an en-suite shower/wet-room. The eaves also provide significant additional storage.
Outside
The rear garden is generous, extending to approx. 100ft in length. The garden is a mixture of manicured lawns, borders, and mature hedges and trees. The traditional brick patio offers outdoor dining and blends well with the garden path, which leads down the garden to the home office.
The home office is brick built with traditional black timber cladding and comes with power and can be connected to high-speed broadband. The building also features a large workshop with racking and workbench along with an additional storeroom.
The front of the property is set behind a pretty dwarf wall & traditional timber gate with hedgerow and planted surrounds. The cottage is situated in a conservation area and overlooks the common which is a designated and protected Site of Special Scientific Interest due to the presence of rare orchids.

A real blend of old & new in one of my favorite Chiltern villages.
