Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after Buckinghamshire village of Long Crendon, Burts Lane is a charming and beautifully presented four/five-bedroom detached character cottage. Dating back to the 19th century, this delightful home blends period features with versatile living spaces, all set within a mature and wonderfully landscaped garden.
Upon entering through a characterful wood-panelled front door with decorative diamond-shaped glass panes, the welcoming entrance hall offers access to a cloakroom, coat/shoe cupboard and the staircase leading to the first floor.
The home’s light-filled, L-shaped family room flows seamlessly into the kitchen/breakfast room, where fully glazed doors frame lovely views of the rear garden and open onto the lower sun terrace—perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
The sitting room, with a warm front aspect, features a beautiful fireplace with brick piers, an oak beam, and a cosy wood-burning stove. A glazed internal wall allows light to pour in from the adjoining family room/dining area. Beyond the sitting room, a versatile second living space/snug/dining room provides a peaceful retreat, complete with another wood-burning stove and a striking full-height fitted cupboard with arched oak doors—ideal as a wine store and for secure storage, including a built-in safe.
The bespoke kitchen/breakfast room is a true centrepiece, showcasing handmade oak cabinetry, honeycomb granite worktops, and a tiled floor.

A Falcon range cooker with a 5-ring gas hob, double ovens, and a grill caters to the most enthusiastic home cooks. The kitchen also includes a larder cupboard, a garden-access door, and a second staircase to the first floor.

The luxurious en-suite includes twin white basins set into black marble surfaces with oak cabinetry. Three further generously sized bedrooms include fitted wardrobes, while one offers a vaulted ceiling and French doors opening to a raised terrace—an idyllic spot to enjoy the garden. The family bathroom is finished in a contemporary white suite with a power shower over the bath. A fifth bedroom is currently used as a study, thoughtfully fitted with shelving and a built-in desk.
