Description
Thickness Cottage is an attractive, detached, stone property set in the charming village of Farthinghoe. Originally two cottages, these have been combined and significantly extended over the years to provide a spacious family home with a wealth of character features.
A substantial hallway / cloak room provides access directly into the impressive kitchen / dining / living room, which creates a spacious heart of the home. This impressive room, with exposed wooden floor boards, provides a generous kitchen with double Belfast sink and island unit with breakfast bar. There is also ample space for dining and seating areas, with a lantern ceiling and door into the garden.
A charming and spacious sitting room sits at the front of the house and features exposed beams and two fireplaces, one of which has a woodburning stove and an historic bread oven. Further reception space is provided by a versatile family / play room with exposed wooden floorboards and fireplace with a woodburning stove and bread oven. There is also a separate study with in-built shelving and cupboards and exposed wooden floor. The ground floor is completed by a rear hallway, generous utility room and a downstairs WC.
The first floor provides ample accommodation including a principal bedroom and walk-in wardrobe, which has the potential to be converted into a en-suite shower room. There are then a further four double bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom with a roll top bath and separate shower.
To the side of the house is a generous gravel parking area and a double garage with a workshop building to the rear.
The delightful private, landscaped garden features a lawn, several gravel terraces providing a variety of entertaining spaces for use throughout the day and mature shrub and flower borders. There is also a useful stone outbuilding, currently used for storage.
