Welcome to a rare and extraordinary opportunity to purchase a Grade II listed
property in need of extensive repair and renovation, set in the heart of the
hamlet of Owlswick, near Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire. This
characterful home, thought to date back to the late 18th, early 19th Century,
is in need of refurbishment and repair but could make an ideal undertaking for
developers and investors, subject to the usual planning permissions associated
with such an historic building. We will be holding an open House strictly by
appointment only on Saturday 20th January 2024 12pm - 2pm. Please contact us on
to arrange an appointment.
Due to the condition of the property, we are led to believe that this will not
be mortgageable and that it will be a cash only purchase.
Rest a While, originally two cottages, sits on a plot of just over half an
acre in the conservation area of Owlswick and is a chequer brick structure
with a wealth of period features such as brick fireplaces, beams and tiled
flooring. The property which is currently in need of complete repair has two
reception rooms, a kitchen and family bathroom to the downstairs with three
bedrooms to the upstairs.
The outstanding feature of this property is the extensive grounds which equate
to around 0. 6 acres and provides either a stunning backdrop for this historic
cottage or has the potential for further development subject to the usual
planning permissions. The gardens and grounds are located mainly to the side
of the property and have extensive views of the surrounding countryside.
Please note a portion of the garden may be subject to an overage, please
consult the agent for further details.
For commuters, Rest a While enjoys excellent transport links. The nearby train
stations at Monks Risborough or Princes Risborough connect you to London
Marylebone in under an hour, making this property ideal for those who work in
the city but long for the serenity of village life. Easy access to the M40
motorway ensures convenient road connections to Oxford, Aylesbury, and beyond.
Rest a While is surrounded by the stunning Buckinghamshire countryside. Long
walks, bike rides, and picnics in the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty are just moments away. Hike up to the iconic Whiteleaf Cross, a
hill figure carved into the chalk hills, offering panoramic views of the
surrounding countryside. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or simply
appreciate the beauty of nature, this location offers a wealth of recreational
opportunities.
Local attractions include the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre in nearby
Great Missenden, dedicated to the life and works of the renowned author and
the National Trust country house Waddesdon Manor, with its historic chateaux
style mansion and beautiful landscaped gardens.
Indulge in culinary delights at the town's fine dining establishments and
traditional pubs, experiencing the local flavours and hospitality.
Positioned on a plot of over half an acre of land, and set against a backdrop
of picturesque Chiltern countryside, this Grade II listed property is in need
of extensive redevelopment. Don't miss this unique opportunity to shape the
future of this charming cottage and create a tranquil haven in the heart of
Buckinghamshire's countryside.
