Spacious five-bed home with separate annexe and sunny gardens.
Full professional rethatch completed July 2025
This Grade II listed thatched cottage dates to circa 1600 and blends historic character with practical modern updates. A full professional rethatch was completed in July 2025, and the home retains original oak beams, exposed timbers and period details across generous reception rooms.
The property offers flexible multi-generational living with five bedrooms across the main house and a self-contained annexe — ideal for extended family, elderly relatives or rental income. Practical comforts include underfloor heating to the kitchen and garden room, a large garage, workshop space and a gated driveway with ample parking.
Outside, the very large south-facing landscaped garden provides a private and sunny setting with a summer house and storage outbuildings — a strong lifestyle asset for family entertaining or gardening. The location combines quiet, semi-rural character with easy access to Milton Keynes and rail links to London.
Important practical points: the listed status brings regulatory restrictions and will complicate alterations and maintenance. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and local crime rates are above average; these are material factors for buyers to consider alongside the considerable charm and plot size.
