Location

Chapel Row sits within the picturesque Bucklebury Common area, well regarded for its rural beauty, walking, and riding opportunities. The village itself is home to the much-loved Bladebone Inn, the Blackbird Café, a local doctor’s surgery, and an interiors boutique. Just a short distance away, the neighbouring village of Stanford Dingley offers further charm with a beautiful Saxon church and two popular pubs—The Old Boot and The Bull.

Description

Spring Cottage is a beautifully appointed and highly adaptable residence, offering nearly 8,200 sq. ft. of flexible living space across two expansive floors. Set in the heart of the desirable village of Chapel Row, this is a property that combines charm, scale, and lifestyle in equal measure.
From the moment you step into the spacious reception hall, the sense of scale and quality is evident. A turned wooden staircase anchors the entrance, complemented by dual walk in bay windows, a cloakroom, and access to the cellar. Double doors open into a generous office with its own bay, offering a bright and peaceful workspace.
At the heart of the home lies an impressive 25-foot sitting room, filled with natural light and opening through French doors onto a south-facing terrace. Adjoining this is a sunny garden room that enhances the home’s bright and airy character.
The kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining offering ample space for informal dining alongside modern cabinetry, generous work surfaces, a breakfast bar, and a suite of appliances including a five oven AGA. A utility room sits neatly alongside, while a secondary cloakroom leads through to the striking formal dining area, framed by exposed brick archways and opening to the terrace through two sets of double doors.
Accommodation on the ground floor continues with a well-appointed bedroom suite offering an en suite shower and private access to the garden ideal for guests or multigenerational living. To the rear of the property, a luxurious pool and sauna complex offers a true retreat, complete with shower and WC. Opposite, a vaulted games room with a freestanding fireplace and bespoke bar creates a superb space for entertaining, complemented by a fully equipped gym.
Upstairs, the first floor offers a variety of versatile rooms, generous bedrooms, and fitted dressing areas. Two of the bedrooms benefit from their own en suite shower rooms, while a large and luxurious family bathroom serves the rest of the floor.
A particularly charming feature of Spring Cottage is the attached annexe perfect for guests, extended family or additional income.
With its own entrance porch, the annexe opens into a light-filled dining room with timber beams and a walk-in bay window. This leads into a cosy sitting room and fully fitted kitchen, with two bright bedrooms and a family bathroom completing the space.


OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a gravel driveway leading to spacious forecourts and private parking. The part-walled garden is beautifully mature, featuring specimen trees, herbaceous borders, and extensive level lawns. A tennis court and ornamental pond add further appeal, while a 1,000 sq. ft. barn provides excellent potential for a studio, workshop, or additional storage. Several paved and gravelled terraces surround the home, offering ideal spots for outdoor dining and relaxation throughout the seasons.
