Property description

A 17th Century, Grade II listed, thatched cottage, with a private garden at the end of a no-through lane in a rural South Oxfordshire hamlet with close connections to Thame, mainline railway station and the M40

Albury House is understood to date from the early 17th century and was split into two dwellings in the mid 1970s. The property has a painted facade with brick elevations under a thatched roof and retains many of its original features such as inglenook fireplaces, flagstone tiles and exposed timbers to some of the rooms yet it has good ceiling height for a property of this type. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, two reception rooms, a conservatory, a kitchen/breakfast room and a three piece shower room. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms and a single bedroom currently used as a study. There is a two piece ensuite shower room to the principal bedroom and a separate three piece bathroom. Stairs from the landing lead to a second floor loft void, ideal for storage or a room conversion subject to the relevant consent.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room has vinyl flooring throughout, and is fitted with a selection of wall and base units with granite work surfaces and an inset butler sink. There is space for a dishwasher and a Rangemaster double oven.

Garden

The garden wraps around the front and side of the house and is screened by a tree and hedge line which borders a private lane and St Helen's Church. The garden has an expanse of lawn, a shed, established flower beds, and a feature pond. The garage has power connected and a loft void above which is accessed via an internal staircase. There is also driveway with parking for two cars.
