Manor Road, Towersey, Thame
£1,750,000

An exceptional period family home, rich in character and discreetly positioned in a secluded ‘tucked away’ setting. Approached via a long gravelled driveway which leads to expansive lawns and a striking courtyard setting framed by two substantial outbuildings, the property enjoys outstanding part-walled gardens extending to approximately one acre, enhancing both its charm and privacy. Originally dating back to the 18th century, the property has been sympathetically extended to provide beautifully presented accommodation arranged over two floors. Meticulously maintained, the cottage now offers a welcoming reception hall with cloakroom and separate cloaks cupboard. The bespoke kitchen, installed in 2009 is fitted with an extensive range of handcrafted cabinetry, complemented by stone worktops, integrated appliances and Aga. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a spacious dining room, creating an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining. At the opposite end of the house, a superb 19’ sitting room features an impressive inglenook fireplace and enjoys delightful views over the rear gardens. This elegant space is further enhanced by an adjoining reading area with built-in bookshelves and ample room for a piano. To the first floor, the principal bedroom is positioned to the rear, enjoying beautiful views over the walled garden, and is served by a modern en-suite bathroom. Bedroom two has been thoughtfully fitted with bespoke office furniture, while the remaining two bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles. A stylish family bathroom, also with a separate shower, completes the accommodation. Outside, the grounds are truly outstanding and include an impressive timber-framed triple garage featuring an attractive clock tower and useful attic space above. Opposite, a substantial detached annexe/studio provides additional versatile accommodation, complete with its own kitchen and WC. Beyond the courtyard, the principal gardens are a particular highlight.
