Market Square, Hanslope

Positioned just off the Market Square in the heart of the picturesque and idyllic village of Hanslope, this beautifully maintained four-bedroom period cottage dates back to the 1700s which enjoys a prime central village location. The property boasts a stunning garden room overlooking a tranquil and secluded cottage garden, offering a perfect blend of historic charm and modern living.

Originally formed from three separate dwellings, this unique and well-presented cottage is steeped in local history within this ever-popular village setting. The dining hall retains the original bread oven, once used by villagers who would gather here for a late-night drink after their favourite establishment, The Green Man, had closed.

The property also enjoys striking views towards St James the Great Church, which dates from the 12th century. Its impressive spire — the tallest in Buckinghamshire — was added in the 15th century, during the time when Hanslope formed part of the estates of the Earls of Warwick.
