Detached house for sale in Upper High Street, Thame OX9

A beautiful Grade II Listed Georgian home set in private grounds of 0.35 acre right in the heart of this much admired market town.

This stunning Georgian property dating back to 1730 in origin with later Victorian additions, was lovingly and meticulously restored by the present owners, breathing life into every corner of the elegant accommodation. It is brimming with character yet delivers a wonderful balance of traditional and contemporary style throughout. Planning permission has been obtained to create a contemporary kitchen/dining/living space with an additional bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.

The front door opens into the reception hall which is part stripped floorboards and part original ceramic tiles, a door down to a good wine cellar. The study and dining room both lie at the front of the house, with gorgeous deep bay windows and original fireplaces. The sitting room was the former coach house and has a magnificent double vaulted ceiling with large windows bathing the room in natural light. The kitchen is a fabulous space, cool and sleek in a classic shaker style with carrara marble work surfaces, a large central island with a solid oak top and integrated appliances. Off the kitchen is a superb utility room which is well equipped and has bi-folds opening out to the garden. A glazed link leads through to the family room or ground floor bedroom (en suite) which also has bi-folds onto the garden. There is a hatch up to a converted roof space which could be used.

On the first floor is the indulgent master bedroom suite which is a lovely space, with plenty of wardrobe space and an opulent en suite bathroom by ‘Aston Matthews’, beautifully finished including a roll top bath and walk in shower. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor and a shower room with two more charming bedrooms on the second floor.
