Folly Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a most exquisite Grade II listed seventeenth century thatched cottage located in the heart of this small and much sought after village located within less than a mile from Thame market town. In more recent years this exceptional property has been renovated and extended to an extremely high standard yet retains much character from its period. Internally accommodation includes two beautiful principle reception rooms with exposed beams and fireplaces with inset log burners, kitchen fitted with a handcrafted range of elm storage units and a snug/study with access onto the rear garden. The single storey extension has created a spacious entrance hall and cloakroom that leads to a garden room with doors opening onto the terrace and a potters room with double doors opening onto the rear garden. The first floor features two beautiful double bedrooms with exposed beams and built-in storage. Both bedrooms are served by modern en-suite bathrooms. Outside the gardens of about 0.2 acres are quite simply breathtaking having been professionally landscaped and beautifully maintained over the years. This ‘chocolate box’ cottage is set well back from the lane with a gravel driveway leading to a 16’ garage with timber double doors. The garden to the front includes an ornamental well and assortment of mature shrubs and mixed planting. To the rear, a spacious stone terrace rises to gardens laid predominantly to lawn with well stocked herbaceous boarders, specimen trees and a meandering stock brick footpath which eventually leads to an attractive row of timber clad outbuildings including a workshop and potting shed. There is also a modern greenhouse and further outbuilding. This enviable location surrounded by picturesque period property also provides easy access to the popular Phoenix trail offering wonderful countryside walks leading directly to Thame and onto Princes Risborough.
