Description
Nestled in the picturesque Buckinghamshire village of Edlesborough, Old Thatch is a breathtaking 16th-century Grade II listed detached cottage that seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary elegance. Set on an expansive 0.65-acre plot, this beautifully extended and meticulously refurbished home offers a perfect balance of period character and modern luxury.
With over 4,600 sq. ft. of spacious accommodation, Old Thatch dates back to 1580 and showcases a wealth of original features, including exposed beams and magnificent fireplaces, such as an imposing brick-built inglenook fireplace. One of the standout features of this exquisite home is the award-winning kitchen/dining/family room, an architectural masterpiece extending over 36 ft. in length giving the perfect blend of social family space. Floor-to-ceiling glass panels flood the space with natural light and offer breathtaking views of the formal gardens and bi-fold doors open onto the private patio. From the kitchen is a feature spiral stair case leading to cinema room which is the perfect hideaway from the rest of the house but could easily be adapted to join with main part of the first floor.
Thoughtfully Designed Interiors
Stepping into Old Thatch, you're welcomed by a warm and inviting entrance hall that effortlessly connects the home’s main reception rooms. The cosy sitting room exudes charm, featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace and dual-aspect views across the beautifully landscaped grounds. Adjacent is the formal dining room, complete with an open fireplace and direct access to the principal bedroom suite via a private staircase. The triple-aspect family/entertainment room provides a versatile space for relaxation, family gatherings, or a dedicated children's playroom. A modern shower room with a stylish walk-in shower completes the ground floor.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring dual-aspect views and a dedicated dressing room—a flexible space that could serve as a fifth bedroom if required. The main staircase leads to three additional double bedrooms, all enjoying picturesque garden views. The spacious family bathroom is a haven of relaxation, complete with a 6 ft. free-standing cast iron bath and a separate shower cubicle.
Exquisite Grounds & Detached Annexe Potential
Approached via electric gated access, Old Thatch sits within a stunning landscaped plot featuring a vast lawn bordered by vibrant flower beds and mature trees. A long gravel driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a substantial detached garage, offering double-width and double-length space. Above the garage, a spacious dual-aspect home office provides the perfect setting for remote working. The garage and office also present exciting potential for conversion into a self-contained annexe, ideal for multi-generational living.
The rear garden is a true sanctuary, offering a private and tranquil escape. A large patio area provides the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining, while the manicured lawn is framed by a mix of flower beds, mature trees, and hedgerow boundaries, ensuring both beauty and privacy.
Combining timeless character with modern sophistication, Old Thatch is a rare opportunity to own a remarkable historic home in an enviable village location.
