Set in the heart of Maids Moreton, this Grade II Listed 16th‑century thatched cottage blends historic charm with usable modern comforts. The house provides flexible living across multiple floors: a breakfast kitchen, dining and sitting rooms, a sun lounge/garden room, three bedrooms (one with en‑suite WC), a first‑floor office area and a useful tandem garage with parking for three cars. Fast FTTP broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working or streaming.
The generous, well‑maintained gardens and decent plot deliver privacy and scope for gardening or subtle extension, subject to listed‑building and conservation area consents. The thatch and historic fabric are key attractions but also require specialist maintenance and appropriate insurance; the property’s Listed status will affect alterations and could cause delays or additional costs for works.
Practical points are clear: freehold tenure, mains services including gas central heating, and an EPC exemption due to listing. Council Tax sits at Band G, so running costs are higher than average. Flood risk is low and the area records very low crime, with several outstanding local primary schools and good secondary options in nearby Buckingham.
This home is best suited to buyers who value period character, garden space and a central village location, and who are prepared for the obligations of owning a listed thatched property. Viewings will reveal the cottage’s original features and the lifestyle potential of this distinctive rural home.
