Redesigned with pale colours and painted shutters, the modern interior of five-bedroom Chestnut Cottage (with two en-suite bedrooms) blends harmoniously with its exposed oak beams, vaulted ceilings and roomy hearths.
It is one of the properties on Bluey’s Farm — a small estate comprised of four cottages and outbuildings, within the Chiltern Hills AONB and about three miles from Marlow.
The house is at the centre of three acres that include banked lawns, a sizeable terrace, one-bedroom guesthouse and paddock.
Chestnut Cottage is currently on the market via Hamptons for offers in the region of £2.75 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
