A delightful Victorian cottage set amid glorious countryside with generous gardens in the desirable village of Stoke Talmage.

Magdalen Cottage enjoys a great deal of natural light with south-facing garden/windows. The property has been sympathetically renovated and extended over recent years, creating a charming and peaceful space. The triple-aspect sitting room is well-proportioned with a wood-burning stove, French windows leading to the garden, and underfloor heating beneath the solid oak floor. The dining room has an open fireplace and solid oak flooring. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of units and has excellent scope if desired to be extended. There is also a small utility room and WC to complete the ground floor.

On the first floor, and all having windows with far-reaching views, are two double bedrooms and one single. The principal bedroom, with Italian stone floors, has an en suite and an additional room that would work well as a nursery, sitting room, or study. There is also a family bathroom.

Externally, the mature gardens are a delight. The bespoke Alitex greenhouse is a real garden feature and perfect for keen gardeners. The garden also benefits from a terrace, colourful year-round borders and a garden room, with double glazing, natural light and an electricity supply. Beyond there is a vegetable garden with raised beds, various trees and a wild area with a small pond. The terrace is perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. A driveway to the front of the property and a single garage with an additional space behind allows for ample off-road parking.


Stoke Talmage is a small hamlet with a C of E Church. Tetsworth is located 2 miles away and has a primary school, village pub, shop and village green. The local market towns of Watlington and Thame, between them, have a good range of shops, schools, supermarkets, and boutiques and a great selection of restaurants, pubs, and cafes. Thame town is particularly vibrant on Market Day, a popular event. In addition to the general market, there is a monthly farmers market, cattle market, and the annual Thame Show. Thame is well located, with excellent communication links, including a mainline station at Haddenham & Thame Parkway and easy access to the M40. The popular Oxford Tube service to London stops by J6 of the M40, which offers a very efficient and inexpensive coach service to London. The property is also within the catchment area of Lord Williams's School in Thame and Primary and Comprehensive schools in Watlington.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
