Old Town Farm, Great Missenden, HP16

A three bedroom cottage with conservatory, patio garden and garage. The property is located on a purpose-built retirement development for the over 55s. Management services are provided by Cognatum Estates, a not-for-profit organisation and one of the UK's leading companies in retirement housing.

Some of the charm of Old Town Farm comes from the knowledge that this is where Roald Dahl once came for his eggs. Much of the character of the old farmyard is preserved with the farmhouse, flint barns and the huge old timbered barn, which now encloses a stunning swimming pool and changing rooms. Some of the cottages overlook the main garden square, which is attractively landscaped with herbaceous borders and trees, all of them have conservatories. The estate is naturally hidden from the high street by a high brick and flint wall.

Great Missenden is a thriving village in a Conservation Area, surrounded by the Green Belt. Within easy walking distance of Old Town Farm is both the station and the long, curving high street of half-timbered and Georgian shops. There are restaurants, pubs, bookshops, newsagents, food retailers, boutiques, banks, and a post office. The village has plenty of clubs and societies for all interests, both sporting and cultural, and the district is a golfers’ paradise with courses in all directions. High Wycombe is just seven miles away and offers a large shopping centre and the Wycombe Swan Theatre, which hosts a good range of local, national and international companies and performers.

Cognatum Estates maintains, repairs and insures all the buildings, arranges the window cleaning and refuse collection and tends to the gardens and grounds thereby freeing owners and residents from these responsibilities. There is a personal alarm system in each property and resident estate managers are on hand to provide support and help when needed, making this an ideal 'Lock Up & Leave' property.  

The cost of providing these services is shared equally between all properties. There are no restrictions on owning a property except that one resident must be over 55 years of age.

999 year lease (from 1984). No ground rent.
