Step into a piece of local history with this enchanting Grade II listed thatched cottage, originally built in 1535, rooted in the heart of the picturesque village of Marsh Gibbon. Brimming with character and surrounded by countryside views, this beautifully preserved home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy historic charm with the comforts of modern village living. Available with our Residency Membership, offering a no deposit option.
Approached down a quaint lane lined with similar thatched homes and providing a lovely view of the church steeple, the cottage sits behind a picket fence with a well-maintained front garden and a welcoming seating area. Across the quiet lane lies the cottage’s generous garden and private parking for 2 cars, overlooking open countryside. This private outdoor space includes a lawn, mature apple tree, outbuilding, shed, log store, and plenty of room to enjoy al fresco dining, gardening, or simply relaxing whilst taking in the views.
Inside, the cottage is full of character. Expect exposed beams, charmingly wonky walls, and the kind of architectural quirks that only centuries of history can provide. The ground floor features a well-appointed fitted kitchen with room for dining, and the inviting lounge centres around a characterful fireplace and includes a tucked-away nook perfectly suited for a desk or reading corner.
Upstairs you’ll find two double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower, all off the landing.
Marsh Gibbon itself is a wonderfully friendly Oxon/Bucks borders village surrounded by open countryside, offering fantastic walking routes right from the doorstep. The village has a well-regarded primary school, a local shop for everyday essentials, superb local pub and a vibrant community atmosphere. A much-loved Farmers’ Market takes place every third Sunday of the month.
This is a home for those who appreciate character, countryside living, and a touch of storybook charm. If you’ve ever dreamed of living in a classic thatched cottage with exposed beams, quiet garden, and far reaching views of fields, this could be the home for you.
Other benefits include double glazing and high heat retaining storage heaters - bringing about better efficiency and heat retention.
