4 Bedroom Country House for sale in Thame

5 4 2

An exceptional former coach house, believed to date from the eighteenth century, set within gardens of just over an acre within the grounds of Scotsgrove House, approximately one mile from beautiful historic Thame.

The kitchen and dining room is a striking space, defined by its impressive ceiling height and abundant natural light. Large south facing windows draw the garden into view, while the proportions allow cooking and dining to sit comfortably together. Sleek white cabinetry is paired with beech and stainless steel worktops, a white AGA and integrated appliances. There is a sense of openness that makes this room particularly suited to everyday family life and entertaining, with its considered modern finish sitting easily within the character of the former coach house.

Adjoining the kitchen, the exceptionally generous utility room is currently used as a bar and sociable space for entertaining. It opens onto a covered area and courtyard, creating an easy flow between indoors and out. The room retains the flexibility to serve as a traditional utility room or garden room, according to the needs of its next owners. Its position beside the kitchen makes it a natural extension of the main living space, while offering plenty of room for gatherings without interrupting the more relaxed atmosphere of the kitchen and dining room.

The family room is a charming retreat off the hallway, with solid wood flooring and a comfortable place to gather. Beyond it, exposed beams lend character to the elegant sitting room, where a handsome fireplace with a wood-burning stove creates an inviting place to relax throughout the year.

A door from the sitting room leads to a separate area with its own front entrance, offering flexibility for guests or multigenerational living. The entrance opens into a corridor serving a light-filled bedroom, where an ornate fireplace provides a striking focal point, and a contemporary shower room with a walk-in shower and natural light.

The light-filled Family Room is currently used for exercise and relaxation, but could equally serve as a private sitting room, with potential to incorporate a kitchen area. Alongside the bedroom and shower room, it offers guests or extended family greater independence while remaining connected to the main house. Any conversion to self-contained accommodation would be subject to the necessary consents.

On the first floor, the bedrooms are arranged away from the principal living spaces below, creating a sense of privacy while retaining the warmth and individual character of the house. The generous principal bedroom has wide wooden floorboards, exposed beams and a roof window that brings natural light into the room. It opens into a spacious adjoining area where the timber framing is especially striking. Currently used as a study, this characterful space could equally become a dressing room with fitted wardrobes or a private sitting area.

Two further bedrooms occupy the first floor, one arranged as a double and the other as a twin. Together with the fourth bedroom downstairs, they offer practical options for family and visiting guests, while the practical separation between floors allows the accommodation to respond comfortably to changing needs. The first-floor bathroom combines the character of exposed beams and painted floorboards with a bath set beneath the beamed ceiling. A roof window fills the room with natural light, while a vanity unit provides useful storage.

This distinctive home balances its original character with contemporary comfort, offering generous rooms and a wonderfully peaceful garden setting.
