"As seen on Channel 4 s Best Laid Plans and also recently featured in The Independent Newspaper, we are delighted to launch this exceptional 4/5 bedroom family home, situated in a conservation area on the sought after High Street in Long Crendon .
The Smithy, 43 High Street, is thought to be one of the oldest Grade 2 Listed properties in the village, dating back 400 years, with the original crux still intact at the centre of the historic part of the house.
Since purchase, the property has undergone extensive remodelling. The current owners approached local award winning architect Lynn Palmer to advise on how to extended the listed thatched cottage, to create a more family friendly space, that was also cutting edge in terms of design.
The end result sees a spectacular glass tube extension to the rear, with the kitchen /dining space relocated to the first floor, with views over the generous 200ft garden. Looking back from the extension it is possible to see the period features of the original part of the house.
The property now combines both the historic and the contemporary and it is no surprise that it has been short listed for an LABC award, with other nominations in the pipeline.
The original cottage with a wealth of period features has a large sitting room with a beautiful parquet floor, cast iron radiators and a generous woodburner from North Mill Stoves . There are also a 2 bedrooms, a family bathroom

(with roll top bath), study (bedroom 5) and w/c. The new addition accommodates 2 further double bedrooms, a second bathroom, utility room and the new kitchen/dining room with floor to ceiling glass doors opening out onto the patio.
There is off road parking to the front and stunning gardens to the rear.
