ABOUT THIS HOUSE Swan House is a handsome Grade II listed, 18th Century former farmhouse, situated in the heart of Long Crendon. The house has been extended and remodelled in recent years to create a beautifully designed family home that offers wonderful bright, light open spaces, yet retaining the intrinsic period features that the house affords.

Five spacious bedrooms and three bathrooms occupy the first and second floors. Outside, the south facing walled garden is attractively landscaped and extends to approximately a quarter of an acre. ABOUT THIS AREA Located in pretty countryside near the Buckinghamshire/Oxfordshire border is this charming village, situated just 2.5 miles from the charming market town of Thame. Long Crendon has a good sense of community supporting three pubs/restaurants, The Eight Bells, The Churchill Arms and The Angel Restaurant, a village shop, a post office, library, primary school and church.
