A Grade II Listed Four-Bedroom Thatched Cottage with Detached Garages and Mature Gardens in a Picturesque Village Setting

This exceptional four-bedroom, three-bathroom detached thatched cottage beautifully combines 17th-century character with modern refinement, offering an idyllic lifestyle in a tranquil village between Buckingham and Milton Keynes.

The home’s thatched roof, traditional timber framing, and cottage-style façade create instant kerb appeal. A five-bar timber gate opens to a gravel driveway with off-road parking for several vehicles, leading to a detached double garage with up-and-over doors and a rear access door. Mature, landscaped gardens surround the property, featuring lush lawns, vibrant flower beds, and multiple patio areas ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation.

Inside, the cottage exudes warmth and charm, showcasing exposed beams, leaded windows, and feature brick fireplaces. The versatile accommodation extends across two floors, offering four reception rooms, including a lounge with a wood-burning stove, a formal dining room, and a family room.

At the heart of the home lies a characterful kitchen with granite worksurfaces, a butler’s sink, and an Aga set within a brick chimney breast. A central island with granite and wooden worktops provides additional storage and preparation space. The adjoining breakfast room enjoys dual-aspect views of the gardens, while a separate utility room and ground-floor shower room add everyday practicality.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from its own staircase access and a stylish en-suite shower room. Three further bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes, share a family bathroom accessed via the main landing.

The property’s mature gardens are a true highlight — enclosed by established hedging for privacy and featuring generous lawns, well-stocked borders, and a charming thatched well.
