House For Sale £1,250,000
A Georgian gem, offering a wonderful opportunity for multi-generational living. Lovingly cared for and restored, filled with original period features, this is a fine example of Georgian architecture. With a total of a possible 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this home provides flexible accommodation for modern family life.
The front door topped with an architecturally interesting arch, a motif repeated throughout the property, opens up to reveal the hallway with beautiful herringbone parquet flooring, the first indication of the wealth of period features found throughout the property and the exquisite finish of the home.
The heart of the home is the kitchen family room which can be found at the front of the property and has a bay window with a seating area and windows that bathe the room with natural light. This is where the family spend most of their time, cooking, eating, sitting and catching up. The kitchen area that sits in one corner of the room has bespoke wooden units painted a soft grey and topped with wooden worktops to match the floorboards. Taking advantage of the bay window, the bespoke units have been designed in such a way as to make the most of the shape of this window and create an area to sit and chat with the chef of the home.
There is plenty of space for a family dining table as well as comfy sofas positioned in front of the open fire creating the ideal place for the family to sit and relax after dinner or for children to sit and play or watch tv, or maybe even do their homework whilst dinner is being prepared. The panelled walls and towering corniced ceilings are a constant reminder of the tremendous Georgian history of this property. Glazed doors at the rear of this room lead out to the courtyard, and there is a concealed door that gives access to the study, which is a lovely space with more parquet flooring to work in peace whilst still being close to the hub of the house.
The hallway leads deeper into the property and takes you to a utility room and, at the end of the hallway, a bedroom with an en suite bathroom. This layout, would allow to turn the study into a living room and create a self-contained one-bedroom apartment on the ground floor, perfect for an older relative. This is also accessible via a separate door from the rear courtyard, offering another layer of privacy if required.
Moving up the sweeping staircase to the first floor, the more formal reception rooms, in typical Georgian fashion, sit at the front of the property. Each room, currently used as a dining room and a living room, has large arched windows overlooking the High Street and towering ceilings with cornice and an interconnecting door. These rooms have the elegance and grandeur you would expect from a Georgian property and would be excellent for entertaining. Imagine dinners filled with fun and laughter that go on long into the night. Light the open fires in the winter months or let the evening sun pour through the large windows during the summer.
There is a double bedroom on this floor, plus a wet room room and separate full bathroom before you reach the principal bedroom at the rear of the property. With fitted wardrobes along one wall and a window overlooking the courtyard.
The staircase rises again to the second floor, where you will find a self-contained duplex apartment. Here you will find a fully fitted kitchen and double bedroom or sitting room before rising for the final time to the third floor, where there is a large bedroom and a show-stopping bathroom. The windows at the top of the property overlook Thame's thatched roof tops and chimney pots. This self-contained apartment lends itself perfectly for guests, offering privacy or for older children with a little independence.
The pretty courtyard is totally private to enjoy morning coffee or a leisurely lunch with friends & family or perhaps an evening sundowner in the low-maintenance paved courtyard.
Living on the High Street of a historic market town has many advantages. With just a short walk, you can be at coffee shops, restaurants or bars or pop to Waitrose for your daily essentials without the need to drive. Thame is just 16 miles from Oxford and 45 miles from London, making it ideal for a commute and the train station is close-by. (All distances and times are approximate).
There are many fantastic schools within catchment, ranging from nursery age to school leavers and colleges beyond, all within a reasonable distance of the property, whatever your budget.
Parking for No. 81 is included in a newly approved (shortly to be implemented) permit scheme for the Lower High Street making parking for owner & visitors uncomplicated.
