Set within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this Grade II listed thatched cottage combines historic character with practical country living. Original features — exposed beams, open-hearth fireplaces and a galleried landing — create distinctive reception spaces, while a stylish Lacanche-equipped kitchen opens via French doors to sheltered garden terraces. The converted garage studio provides flexible ancillary accommodation for guests or home working.
The house sits in about 0.57 acres of private garden, including a wildflower meadow, pond and mature tree screening that enhance privacy and the rural setting. Commuters benefit from good road links and regular trains from nearby High Wycombe to London Marylebone, while a range of state and independent schools are within easy reach.
Important practical points are clear: the property is Grade II listed, so any significant alterations will be subject to listed-building consent and may cause delays and additional costs. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators and the EPC rating is E. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
This is a home for buyers who value provenance, period detail and an idyllic countryside location over turn-key modernity — someone looking for a special family home or a second country base where sympathetic updating and ongoing maintenance will preserve the property’s historic character.
