Moreton Thatch is a rare Grade II listed Tudor cottage sympathetically renovated and extended to provide about 2,093 sqft of family living. The house combines original timber framing, exposed beams and fireplaces with a contemporary wing offering vaulted, light-filled spaces and a ground-floor double bedroom with en suite — useful as a guest suite or self-contained annexe.
Set back on a very large plot of roughly 0.6 acres, the gardens are a standout: lawns, orchard trees (apple, pear, damson/plum), herbaceous borders, a sun terrace and secluded pond/terrace areas ideal for family life and entertaining. Practical features include private driveway parking and a garage (note: previous planning to rebuild the garage has elapsed).
This home suits families wanting village tranquillity with straightforward access to Thame, local schools and Haddenham & Thame Parkway for fast trains to London. The property is freehold and newly renovated, but its listed status will restrict some changes and require specialist consent for alterations. Council tax is described as expensive — factor ongoing running costs into ownership.
In short: a characterful, well-updated period house with flexible accommodation, attractive gardens and commuting convenience — balanced by the limitations and responsibilities of a listed property and an expired garage planning consent.
