Dating to the 17th century, this Grade II listed thatched cottage combines unmistakable period character with practical family accommodation. Situated on Long Crendon High Street, the property offers three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a generous kitchen/breakfast room overlooking a well-kept, two-level garden—ideal for children and outdoor entertaining.
Internal features include exposed beams, cosy inglenook fireplaces and a recently re-ridged thatch, all helping preserve the cottage’s authentic feel while reducing immediate thatch maintenance. A separate powered garage with an office and cloakroom above adds flexible workspace or annex potential, and a utility and downstairs cloakroom provide everyday convenience.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and could complicate extension or major renovations. The house has a single family bathroom and some low ceilings in the sitting room, which may not suit all buyers. Broadband speeds are average and council tax is Band G, reflecting the affluent area.
Long Crendon is a sought-after village with local shops, pubs, clubs and good secondary schooling nearby. Commuting links are convenient via nearby Haddenham & Thame Parkway and the M40, making the cottage suitable for families seeking village life with accessible transport to larger centres.
