Description
Nestled in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside, The Thatch is a beautiful brick and flint thatched house with parts dating back to about the 16th century. The property occupies an idyllic spot, surrounded by countryside yet with easy access to London by road and rail. The Thatch has been superbly extended and refurbished by the current owners, expertly combining rustic, original features with contemporary design.
The property is beautifully presented with characterful, quirky accommodation throughout with retained period features including exposed internal brickwork, stripped beams and fireplaces. The front door opens into a charming reception hall with stairs to the first floor. Either side of the hall are two reception rooms, a family room and sitting room, both with fireplaces and lovely views to the front. A garden room off the sitting room gives further reception space. To the rear is a spacious elegantly appointed bathroom, incorporating a laundry/utility cupboard. The kitchen, designed around a large central island is well equipped with an excellent range of units complemented by Quartz worktops and integrated appliances. Bi-fold doors fully open to the rear courtyard, perfect for outside dining. There is a large store cupboard which would be ideal as a walk-in pantry. In addition on this floor are two characterful bedrooms both enjoying a dual aspect.
There are two further bedrooms on the first floor both with wonderful countryside views. The principal dual-aspect bedroom benefits from ample built-in storage and a window seat giving an ideal spot to enjoy the far reaching views. Both these bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
The Thatch enjoys a quiet and picturesque setting with fields and countryside beyond, yet with the security of neighbours nearby. The garden wraps around the house with extensive areas of lawn and provides a wonderful backdrop to the house. Well stocked beds and borders give year round colour and scent. Further features include gravelled walkways, a wildflower garden and several seating and courtyard areas for dining and relaxation. There are two gated entrances with ample parking for several vehicles. In addition is a charming outbuilding, perfect as a home office.
Location
Princes Risborough 2.5 miles, Wendover 4 miles, Aylesbury 6.5 miles. All distances are approximate.
Ideally situated in a semi-rural location at the foot of the Chiltern Hills, on the boundary of the Chequers estate, the country home of The Prime Minister, yet conveniently located between the thriving market towns of Princes Risborough and Wendover. Both towns provide excellent shopping, recreational and leisure facilities with mainline train services to London Marylebone providing a fast and frequent service. In addition there is a railway station in Little Kimble, about a mile away, with trains to London Marylebone and Aylesbury. The M40 motorway gives easy access to London and the M25 and M4 motorways.
The area is surrounded by superb countryside with footpaths, bridle paths and areas of historical interest alongside the nearby Ridgway national trail, stretching for 87 miles over the Chilterns and North Wessex Downs. For golf enthusiasts there are two renowned clubs in the vicinity, Whiteleaf and Ellesborough. Local events include the Kophill Club, a classic car race and the Kimble Point to Point.
Buckinghamshire is renowned for its choice and standard of schooling, both state and private, as the county is one of the last to maintain the traditional grammar school system with schools in both High Wycombe and Aylesbury. There are well regarded local primary schools in Great Kimble and Monks Risborough. Independent schools include The Griffin, The Beacon, The Gateway, Pipers Corner, Godstowe Preparatory and Wycombe Abbey.
