Welcome to The Poplars, a unique Georgian home dating back to the 1720s. It has intricate architectural features, including scalloped roof tiles, ornate copings and finials, and an attractive Flemish bond brick pattern, all working together to create the most wonderful effect. This pretty home certainly attracts attention and sits in an enviable location at the end of Thame High Street.

A footpath leads you from the gate to the entrance as the garden walls mirror the curve of the copings. The symmetry and architecture captivate passersby and visitors alike to this marvellous home. Many who pass the property dream of calling this fabulous place 'home', including the current sellers. You could be lucky enough to own this property now as the time has come for the sellers to reluctantly move on to pastures new.

"The magic of this property drew us in the moment we saw it - we will be very sorry to leave this fantastic home."

Come on in…
The front door opens to reveal the entrance hall, with a sneak peek through to the rear garden.

The study is a great place to work from. Natural light pours through the bay window, which looks out onto the front lawn with the High Street in the distance. You can watch people come and go while you work. There is even a fireplace for those chilly winter days.

The dining room is on the opposite side of the hall, with another bay window. It is a lovely place to host friends and family for dinner. This room has an exposed wooden floor and a fireplace that houses a multi-fuel stove with a brick surround.

Sitting room…
The sitting room sits in the former coach house and has a magnificent vaulted ceiling and large windows that fill it with natural light. Enjoy movie nights with the family and light the multi-fuel stove on cooler evenings.

Heart of the home…
This kitchen expertly blends modern styling and period architecture, making it the heart of the home. Dark blue wooden units provide excellent storage space and are topped with white marble worktops. There is a double Range oven to prepare your meals, an American-style fridge freezer, and an integrated dishwasher. The central island increases the available workspace, and there is also a breakfast bar with casual seating, an ideal spot to perch and keep the chef company as you enjoy a delicious glass of wine before dinner.

A utility room with units to match the kitchen houses a Belfast sink, an integrated washing machine and a tumble dryer. There are bi-folding doors to the rear garden and the family room.

The cellar is the perfect place for storage, particularly for your wine collection.

From the utility room, there is a snug area with glazed bi-folding doors that look out into the gardens and is perfectly situated to take in the setting sun in the evening.

Flexible living…
This area of the property offers many flexible options, whether you are looking for a granny annexe or a separate suite for an older child or visiting guests. The main room is currently a family living space but could easily be used as a ground-floor bedroom. B-fold doors lead out to the gardens and an en-suite shower room.

Rest and Relax…
Climb the stairs to the first floor, where you will find the master bedroom. This sophisticated master suite, painted in Farrow & Ball, creates a calm environment to relax after a long day. Wardrobes are fitted to give space for storage, and there is a show-stopping en-suite bathroom to lock yourself away from the world and relax.

A roll-top bath takes centre stage, with his-and-hers wash-hand basins within a vanity unit. The shower has level access and a glazed surround. This luxurious bathroom is for your use only. Sink into a deep bubble bath and wash away the day.

Two more lovely bedrooms are on this floor, as well as a family shower room.

Into the eaves…
The 'Dutch Barn' shaping to the roof enables excellent head height on the second floor. Here, you will find two spacious bedrooms with windows overlooking the town.

Gorgeous Gardens…
Sitting on almost a third of an acre, The Poplars has a unique garden in the centre of Thame. A gated driveway leads down the side of the property to a large gravelled parking area, including a carport, shed, and timber workshop.

The south-facing gardens are mainly lawn-facing, with trees and hedges for added privacy. There is a patio and BBQ area for al fresco dining. As the day draws to a close, enjoy a chilled beverage on the sofas as you watch the sun setting.

"The gardens are so peaceful; you would never know that you are so close to Thame."

Out and about…
Thame is a desirable English town with a wide array of restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques for shopping. Just an hour away from London by train, it is also a fantastic location for those who need to commute into the city but are looking for a slightly slower pace of life.

From this property, you can walk to wonderful primary and secondary schools, making it the perfect family home. If your budget allows, there are excellent private school options, too.

There is a park nearby for walks and a sports centre for keeping fit. The Rugby Club is at the end of the road if you like to play or watch a match, and for an injection of historical culture, there are many National Trust properties in the area for you to visit.

"The location has been great for us - close enough to the town and London, but when you close the door, you are transported to another world."
