3 bed detached house for sale

Moses Plat Lane, Speen, Princes Risborough HP27

Moses Plat Farm is well situated on the edge of the highly desirable village of Speen, situated amongst the natural beauty of the Chiltern Hills. As an equestrian venue it offers fantastic potential as a livery or competition yard, with well maintained and modern facilities including a large manège and access to fantastic outriding. The house is well positioned adjoining the yard for security and ease of access, and there are a good number of barns, stables and outbuildings providing excellent scope for further development (subject to permissions). The brick and flint property is well presented and characterful, set within established gardens. The wider land includes 47 acres of mixed pasture, woodland and hardstanding. The house itself was built by the vendor in 1988, yet its characterful appearance internally makes it seem much older. A number of features add charm and individuality: Exposed beams, brick detail, an inglenook fireplace and an attractive wood kitchen with aga give the feel of a cosy and elegant country home. The internal layout is well planned and ideal for family life, with a choice of reception rooms including an L-shaped sitting and dining room, an inviting and informal kitchen and breakfast room, and a light-filled conservatory on the south side of the house overlooking the front gardens. The kitchen serves as the heart of the family home and, from the kitchen window, it’s possible to enjoy views of the all-weather arena while doing the washing up. There is also a study, a laundry room/boot room and a cloakroom. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are double size, with the principal bedroom having an en suite bathroom and built-in cupboards. The other two bedrooms share a family shower room. The house has been well maintained though would benefit from some modernisation to bring it up to its full potential.
