HISTORICAL NOTES:
The building was probably part of Dormer Farm originally with a butcher named John Curtis and a servant, Harriet Uff, documented as being in residence between 1839-41. The other half of the cottages was previously a butchers shop and slaughterhouse.

DESCRIPTION
The property is grade II listed dating (as the dark header brick on the front elevation denotes) from 1722 with a late 19th century extension. The cottage is timber framed with diagonal braces and brick infill on a rubble stone plinth, all beneath a clay tiled roof, and imprinted into the plinth render at the rear of the cottage are a pair of tiny handprints, created who knows when. Internally and externally are a charming array of exposed timbers, beams and original features including floorboards and latched and braced wooden doors. The front door leads into a lovely sitting room dominated by a wonderful inglenook fireplace still retaining its large tiled hearth and plank seating each side, although now it contains a cast iron woodburning stove. This room has a dual aspect to the front and rear, the front with a leaded light window, as also do the kitchen and main bedroom. Opposite the front door is an understairs cupboard and hidden behind a door further around is the staircase itself. The kitchen/dining room has a tiled floor and there are beech units and worktops with, at one end, a one and a half bowl stainless steel sink that has a pull out flexible hose tap. The fireplace here is bricked up but could be reintroduced as a working fire.
On the first floor is a generous double bedroom sporting the delightful authentic wide elm floorboards and it enjoys a view to Lodge Hill in Waddesdon, the site of Waddesdon Manor. The shower room has a white suite including a ?Savoy? Edwardian style wash basin. The double width cubicle has a power shower and a remote external Aqualisa control enabling the turning on of the shower outside the cubicle enclosure as you enter the room. A winding stairwell from the landing takes you up to the second floor attic which stretches the breadth of the cottage allowing a storage area and a double bedroom, the latter again with wide elm floorboards. A dormer window is to the front and another window is in the gable wall.
OUTSIDE
At the boundary is a picket fence and down the side runs a path to the rear where adjacent the back door is the former gardeners wc, now a utility and laundry room.
The initial patio comprises of hardstanding where there is a water tap and double electric socket. Halfway down the garden is the second seating patio, more paved, and on the former site of the greenhouse. In between the two lies an ornamental pond.
There is a vegetable plot and raised beds and then a lawn hosting a couple of mature apple trees, a mock orange, and a black elder. The whole measures out to around 90ft in depth and in the far corner is a wooden shed.
