Full Details for 6 Bedroom Detached for sale in Aylesbury, HP22 :

With origins from the early seventeenth century a magnificent period home set in imaginatively laid walled gardens with a separate detached one bedroom annexe. Barley Close Cottage is packed with character features some original and some reclaimed. There are four separate reception rooms two of which have the most delightful inglenooks while the majestic drawing room has a certain sense of occasion. The wide and shallow staircase rises from the vaulted entrance hall up to the first floor bedrooms of which there are five each with its own character and views of the garden. The walled gardens are just sublime with cobbled brick and millstone paths meandering through geometric hedged lawns and borders and with whimsical details to amuse and delight. The pond with its fountain and waterfall are sheltered by a weeping willow and for those who enjoy the fruits of their labour there is a Victorian greenhouse complete with productive vines, a vegetable garden and chicken run. The Bothy provides garage space but also a useful annexe with a sizable living room, kitchen, large double bedroom and bathroom. A useful source of rental income can be had if not needed for family or staff. With its contrasting architectural styles from the jettied first floor to the Tudor twisted chimney Barley Close Cottage will intrigue and delight on many levels. This has been a forty some year labour of love for our vendors who leave with a somewhat heavy heart but now will pass the baton to the next family to enjoy the next chapter in the story of this very special home
