Field Cottage, Upton

Field Cottage is a 17th century Grade II listed cottage set in a quiet hamlet surrounded by countryside and offered with no onward chain. The house combines period character with sympathetic modern updates, featuring exposed beams, eyebrow dormer windows and an inglenook fireplace.

Accommodation includes a 22' sitting room with wood burning stove, a classic kitchen with shaker units, pantry and traditional three-oven Aga, a dining/family room and a bright timber-framed garden room. The first floor provides four bedrooms, the principal suite extending to approximately 16' with built-in wardrobes and an ensuite shower room.

The property sits on a generous plot with front and side lawns, a paved terrace for entertaining and a fully enclosed rear garden with mature planting and a sunny south-easterly aspect. There is also an attractive outbuilding that could be converted into a home office or hobby space with relative ease subject to consents. A detached garage with parking in front completes the plot. Haddenham & Thame Parkway is about a 10 minute drive for services to London Marylebone in under 40 minutes.

About Upton

Upton is a small, historic farming hamlet in the civil parish of Dinton with Ford and Upton, characterised by traditional barns, public footpaths and wide countryside views. The hamlet lies immediately north of Dinton and is separated from it by the Dinton Folly vineyard and the remains of Dinton Castle, a picturesque mock fortified folly. Archaeological earthworks mark the site of the medieval manor once held by the Mayne family.

Local amenities are within easy reach: the village of Stone (around 1 mile) provides a shop/post office, school and public house, while the larger market towns of Thame and Aylesbury are a short drive away. The area is served by regular bus links and offers good road connections to the M40 (J7/J8A). Rail services from Haddenham & Thame Parkway provide fast connections to London Marylebone.
