Nestled beneath the cosy thatch roof, down a quiet country road that leads to only a few properties, you will find Albury House. This Grade II listed cottage, which has been dated back to 1580, is filled with traditional beamed ceilings, stone-flagged floors, intricate fireplaces from the arts and crafts period, and modern conveniences and styling. A happy home with 4 bedrooms and private gardens, ready for a new family to make their own memories.

Come on in…
The parking area, in front of the garage, has space for 2 cars, with another parking space inside the garage if you need it. Make your way through the gate into the almost secret garden to the front door, and allow the magic of this property to take your breath away.

"The ceilings are much higher than you would usually find in a thatched cottage which is great. It means you don't have to stoop down, and the rooms are surprisingly bright and airy."

Receptions that wow…
Reception rooms are intended to delight when you receive guests in your home, and Albury House does not disappoint. The dining room is ready to host your fantastic dinner parties with space for a substantial dining table, enough to seat at least 12, and the fireplace in this room is a real talking point. Intricate brickwork in attractive designs that create glorious patterns dating from the arts and crafts period in the early 20th Century.

"The dining room is great for dinner parties; Christmas dinner is always a huge occasion."

The living room has dual-aspect windows overlooking the gardens and filling the room with light. A comfortable room and a wonderful place to rest and relax in the evening. The inglenook fireplace takes centre stage with inset lighting to illuminate the artistic styling. Enjoy cosy evenings in front of the tv and a roaring fire.

From the living room, you can access the sun-filled conservatory, a lovely spot to enjoy your morning coffee here as you spot one of the many different bird species or the resident squirrel, or you might even catch a glimpse of the hedgehog after dark.

Heart of the home…
Pale wooden units are topped by granite worktops that spread around three walls in this social kitchen, giving plenty of workspace for the budding chef of the household to prepare their repertoire of recipes as the rest of the family sit around the table and catch up on the happenings of their day.

Beautiful Bedrooms…
On the first floor, you will find the 4 beautiful bedrooms. The principal bedroom has two windows, filling the room with light and offering delightful views over the gardens. There are 3 further bedrooms, so there is room for all of the family.

Climb the stairs again from the landing to the useful loft space, which is currently a dressing room but could offer a multitude of uses.

Bathroom Bliss…
There are three bathrooms in this property. The house bathroom on the first floor offers a tranquil space to rest and recharge. There is a utility room with a shower on the ground floor, perfect for a quick shower if you've been out for a particularly strenuous walk or getting muddy in the garden. The principal bedroom has a private ensuite shower room.

Gardens…
The garden wraps around the front and side of the property, surrounded by tall hedges giving almost total privacy, with vibrant flowers and productive fruit trees ready to make fabulous crumbles and pies, as long as you are quick enough before the birds help themselves.

"The grandchildren love pond skimming and looking for the newts in the pond."

Out and about…
Albury is a small hamlet in the idyllic countryside peppered with just a few properties. Situated along the Oxfordshire Way ensures plenty of fantastic walking routes on the doorstep. But, as idyllic as rural life is, we still need modern convenience, which is not always found in such a tranquil setting.

Trains from Haddenham and Thame Station run frequently, and you can be in Marylebone in less than an hour, perfect if you need to commute into London. There are regular buses, and the
motorway is a couple of minutes away. You can be in Oxford or Thame in no time. Here you can find major supermarkets, high-street shops, independent boutiques, and coffee shops.

A local primary school is a mile from the property, and secondary schools are nearby in Thame and Wheatley. If your budget allows, there are many excellent private school options too.
