Description
Nestled in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside, The Thatch is a beautiful brick and flint thatched house with parts dating back to about the 16th century. The property occupies an idyllic spot, surrounded by countryside yet with easy access to London by road and rail. The Thatch has been superbly extended and refurbished by the current owners, expertly combining rustic, original features with contemporary design.
The property is beautifully presented with characterful, quirky accommodation throughout with retained period features including exposed internal brickwork, stripped beams and fireplaces. The front door opens into a charming reception hall with stairs to the first floor. Either side of the hall are two reception rooms, a family room and sitting room, both with fireplaces and lovely views to the front. A garden room off the sitting room gives further reception space. To the rear is a spacious elegantly appointed bathroom, incorporating a laundry/utility cupboard. The kitchen, designed around a large central island is well equipped with an excellent range of units complemented by Quartz worktops and integrated appliances. Bi-fold doors fully open to the rear courtyard, perfect for outside dining. There is a large store cupboard which would be ideal as a walk-in pantry. In addition on this floor are two characterful bedrooms both enjoying a dual aspect.
There are two further bedrooms on the first floor both with wonderful countryside views. The principal dual-aspect bedroom benefits from ample built-in storage and a window seat giving an ideal spot to enjoy the far reaching views. Both these bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
The Thatch enjoys a quiet and picturesque setting with fields and countryside beyond, yet with the security of neighbours nearby. The garden wraps around the house with extensive areas of lawn and provides a wonderful backdrop to the house. Well stocked beds and borders give year round colour and scent. Further features include gravelled walkways, a wildflower garden and several seating and courtyard areas for dining and relaxation. There are two gated entrances with ample parking for several vehicles. In addition is a charming outbuilding, perfect as a home office.
