Period House in Buckinghamshire

<p>This house dates back to the 16th century and it is thought to be the oldest property on the street. It has an acre of landscaped garden and a giant yew tree that probably pre-dates the house itself. It is located in Buckinghamshire, only about half an hour from London by train.<br /></p><p>Freelance TV director, Wendy Arnot and her husband Geoff say about it: ‘The house was fantastic: it had been so beautifully renovated by the previous owners we knew we wouldn’t have to do anything immediately, rather take our time making it our own.’ Geoff continues: ‘The garden, though, is what sold it to me: the owners had put so much time and money turning it into an oasis, separated into different zones, with a pond here, a pergola there; and dotted around are various outbuildings that we knew would come in handy.’</p> <p>Renovations since moving in have been kept to a minimum: they’ve repaired original oak doors, widened the drive and added security gates, and built a small oak porch to the side entrance; they’ve also enhanced the bathroom.</p><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_1_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_1_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_2_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_2_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_3_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_3_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_4_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_4_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_5_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_5_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_6_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_6_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_7_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_7_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_8_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_8_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_9_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_9_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_10_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_10_0.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_11_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_11_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_12_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_12_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_13_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_13_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_14_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_14_0.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_15_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_15_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_17_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_17_0.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_16_0.jpg" src="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/sites/default/files/0610arnot_16_0.jpg" style="cursor: -moz-zoom-out;" /><br /><br />Photography by Brent Darby<br />Styling by Sian Williams<br />All images and information from <a href="http://www.periodliving.co.uk/">here</a>.
