A Historic Grade II Listed Retreat with Modern Comforts
Tucked away in the heart of Dinton, this enchanting home exudes timeless charm. Steeped in history, it weaves together centuries-old character with elegant modern living, creating a setting that feels both unique and welcoming.
On entering via the front door, a welcoming reception hall provides access to both the drawing room and, through the music room, to the dining room, while a side entrance opens into a practical boot room and utility with fitted cupboards and an archway through to the kitchen. A light-filled porch leads into the oldest part of the house, where exposed beams and period details reflect its 500-year history. This Grade II listed home, with its Tudor-style timber framing, decorative brickwork and steeply pitched roof, is a fine example of English vernacular architecture, blending centuries of heritage with modern comfort.
The kitchen is a true centrepiece, fitted with granite worktops, stone flooring with underfloor heating, and cream shaker-style units providing ample storage. A double larder cupboard, space for a dishwasher and American fridge freezer, together with views over the garden, make this both highly functional and inviting. From here, an archway leads into a charming lobby, while a doorway connects to the music room.
The dining room, framed by an elegant arched opening, enjoys garden views and flows effortlessly into the spacious drawing room, where exposed beams and a striking inglenook fireplace with open fire create a wonderfully atmospheric setting.
A light-filled garden room/conservatory, with French doors opening onto the terrace, provides easy access to outdoor entertaining and enjoys lovely garden views. This floor is completed by a versatile office, a practical utility room, and a downstairs cloakroom, all combining charm with everyday convenience.
The gardens are a true highlight, beautifully landscaped with sweeping lawns, terraced seating areas and vibrant planting. Mature shrubs, fruit trees and herbaceous borders create a private, peaceful setting, while thoughtfully shaped hedges provide natural divides that bring both structure and charm.
A second, more secluded area of the garden reveals further delights, with a heated greenhouse, timber chalet and useful outbuildings, all complementing the main house and enhancing its lifestyle appeal. The result is a home of rare quality, offering the perfect balance between heritage and comfort in the heart of one of Buckinghamshire’s most sought-after villages.
There is off-street parking. A discreet, gated area provides hidden bin storage and convenient side access, ensuring both practicality and neatness without compromising the charm of the setting.
