The Thatched Cottage, Charlbury, Oxfordshire

On the edge of this popular Cotswold town, sits an idyllic country home. Believed to date back to the 17th Century with later additions, The Thatched Cottage elegantly blends contemporary and traditional living. The quality of craftsmanship is evident throughout and the current owners have carried out a complete renovation project with close attention being made to retain the original character and charm, yet have created a home that very much suits modern day living. The Thatched Cottage has a warm and inviting feel, with generously proportioned rooms.

Highlights include the beautifully crafted kitchen which forms part of the impressive extension to the rear and in turn has French doors that provide the most wonderful views across the garden and once open, form a seamless link between the inside and out; perfect for those who enjoy outside dining and entertaining. Another highlight are the generously proportioned reception rooms which are rare for a property of this age.

The four bedroom, two bath/shower room layout on the first floor makes for comfortable living and include some lovely features such as attractive vaulted, beamed ceilings.The main bedroom is located in the recent extension and is the most wonderful space, with large doors which open to allow not only an abundance of natural light but much like the kitchen below, provide a view across the garden.

There is a pretty cottage garden to the front, boarded by dry stone walls. The generously sized rear garden is mostly laid to lawn with a number of well stocked flower beds which are full of colour in the summer months.

Also boasting an attractive seating area to the rear, nestled within a walled courtyard which is covered with roses throughout the summer. Another entertaining area sits directly beyond the kitchen French doors, perfect for those who enjoy al fresco dining.

At the far end of the garden is a useful store and parking for a car. Stepping out of the garden takes you straight onto a footpath (outside of the boundary) which leads to a nature reserve and the magnificent grounds of Ditchley Park beyond.
