Description
The ground floor consists of an entrance hall, with a kitchen/breakfast room off it, which has been maintained to be in-keeping with the older aspects of the property. It benefits from a traditional Aga, farmhouse-style brick flooring, a breakfast bar, and a door to the enchanting rear garden.
The two original beamed reception rooms include a dining room and a sitting room with an open fireplace with a log burner. A pitched roof study and downstairs bathroom can also be found on the ground floor.
Towards the rear of this family home is an architecturally designed, glazed partition linking both old and new. The new contemporary wing has been designed so that, if one wishes, it can be a self-contained annexe. There is a utility with doors on either side accessing the garden, a stunning light and airy family room with vaulted ceilings, large windows overlooking the terrace and pond, and exposed wooden tie beams, and a downstairs double bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the secluded garden and fields beyond and an en suite.
The first floor is divided into two sections, offering flexibility. Three double bedrooms are accessed from the original cottage, with the principal bedrooms having beamed walls, wooden floors, and undisturbed views over the gardens. The family bathroom is also in the original house.
Externally, Moreton Thatch is on a no-through road and is set back within its plot. There is a driveway and garage, which has elapsed planning permission to be rebuilt. The gardens and grounds surround the property and incorporate a pathway that leads to the rear of the property and to a delightful sun terrace that commands stunning views over the gardens. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, framed by flower and herbaceous borders, an orchard and is enclosed with mature hedging and many trees, including apple, pear, and various damsons/plums. The well-tended gardens and grounds, measuring approximately 0.6 acres, are quintessential and complement the beautiful detached house and rural setting.
To the south of the historic market town of Thame, Moreton is a hamlet ideally located for commuting to Oxford and London.
