Description

Having undergone an extensive refurbishment to an exacting standard, this stunning home offers beautifully presented accommodation approaching 3,230 sq ft in total, including two superb detached holiday let/guest cottages. The property occupies a delightful position surrounded by rolling countryside, yet remains conveniently placed for access to Thame, Princes Risborough and excellent transport links into London.

The main house is rich in character, showcasing exposed timbers, a magnificent thatched roof and an abundance of original features, all carefully complemented by high-quality modern finishes. At the heart of the home lies an impressive open-plan kitchen and dining space, designed for modern family living and entertaining. Finished with bespoke cabinetry, premium integrated appliances and generous dining space, it flows effortlessly into the reception areas, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.

The accommodation is both versatile and spacious, with multiple reception rooms providing areas for formal entertaining, relaxation and home working. Four well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged over two floors, including a luxurious principal suite with dressing room, alongside beautifully appointed bath and shower rooms finished to an exceptional standard.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed to maximise the idyllic rural setting, with uninterrupted views stretching across neighbouring fields and open countryside. A bespoke garden sauna provides the perfect place to relax and unwind whilst taking in the peaceful surroundings, creating a true lifestyle offering rarely found.

A particular feature of Poppy Cottage is the inclusion of two detached, self-contained one-bedroom converted barns. Finished to the same exacting standards as the main residence, each offers stylish open-plan kitchen, dining and living accommodation, a generous double bedroom, contemporary en-suite shower room, private patio area and hot tub. Whether utilised as lucrative holiday lets, guest accommodation, multigenerational living space or a home business opportunity, they provide exceptional flexibility and income potential.

Further benefits include a substantial detached garage, additional storage buildings, ample private parking and the significant advantage of being offered to the market with no onward chain.

Poppy Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a quintessential English country cottage with luxury ancillary accommodation, outstanding countryside views and a turnkey finish throughout, all within one of South Oxfordshire's most desirable rural settings.
