Windmill Road, Towersey, Thame, Oxfordshire, OX9

Parking up on the gravel carriage driveway, the front door of Flint House opens up into a lovely hallway with a stone flag floor.

The double doors to the sitting room are open and pull your attention to the garden through the full height windows. In summer, the sitting room is bathed in natural light, allowing the vibrant colours of the garden to seep into the decor. But when the nights draw in, the log burner is lit, and the curtains are drawn to make a lovely cosy family room. This room was made for Christmas morning, with the whole family crowded around the tree, surrounded by gifts and wrapping paper!

The hub of the home, where everyone hangs out, is the kitchen.
The central island, with Corian worktops allows friends and family to gather round and chat, perhaps enjoying a glass of wine or coffee whilst the chef of the house rustles up a delicious meal.

This kitchen will be the envy of every budding chef, with an oil-fired Aga and a double Rangemaster oven! You will not be worried about oven space when you are preparing for the next dinner party!

Host your guests in the dining room, which leads just off the kitchen, and in the summer months, you can throw open the doors to the conservatory and out onto the terrace, taking advantage of the evening sun and the outdoor bar. Or perhaps you have fired up the pizza oven, and you have a pizza party on the terrace?

The study will be perfect for you to work in. Although we can’t promise that you will be productive with windows overlooking the garden.

Flint House has no shortage of bedrooms as there are 6 doubles to choose from.

The master suite is a haven of tranquillity, away from the hustle and bustle of the ground floor. Your very own large en suite bathroom with a full-size bath, perfect to shut the world out and relax.

There are 2 additional rooms with en suites, meaning that you could perhaps host lodgers, guests, or have very fortunate children who get their own bathroom! Either way, there will not be any queues in the morning when everyone is trying to get ready to leave for the day.

The three additional bedrooms have use of the large family bathroom and are all a decent size.

Stretching to 0.87 acres, the gardens are extensive and include many established trees and herbaceous borders to ensure various colours throughout the year.

The orchard provides an abundance of fruit, from apples and pears to plums and cherries, as well as an allotment if you wish to grow your own veggies.

The terrace is home to the pizza oven and outdoor bar, perfect for entertaining through the summer months. Sitting below the pergola with the perfume from the hanging wisteria scenting the air.

Set off to the side of Flint House is the double garage, with an additional room previously used as a day nursery. If needed, this room and the rest of the garage could be used for commercial purposes. Perhaps a studio, office or warehousing, if running a nursery is not your cup of tea?

Not only that, the property has full planning permission to convert this building into a 1, or 2 bedroom annexe. Of course, this will then mean that there is no garage. So, additional planning permission has been granted to build a new, separate triple garage.

Maybe you have been thinking about running a guest house? The ensuite bedrooms could be let out and the annexe used as a self-contained unit?

Or perhaps you have a relative that you would like to live closer to home, but not exactly IN your home!? An annexe would be the perfect solution.

Towersey is a small peaceful community surrounded by farmland close to the picturesque market town of Thame, just a few minutes
from the M40. Despite being a small village Towersey has what must be one of the most active social calendars in Oxfordshire with many
groups and organisations and numerous events through the year.
St Catherine’s church which dates from 1150 is well worth a visit. Good food and ales can be found at the Three Horseshoes public house and regular artisan food stalls operate on a regular basis. The quintessential English market town of Thame is located just two miles from Towersey, with the pretty High Street dotted with a mix
of Medieval and Georgian buildings and home to a huge range of independent shops as well as bars, public houses and restaurants.
A Waitrose & Sainsburys supermarket are also located in the centre.
Despite Thame’s rural position, the town is well positioned for links to London. Trains from the nearby station now reach Marylebone in around 37 minutes (fast train) while the M40 is a short drive from the town centre. Local education facilities are provided for all ages and
include three reputable primary schools and the renowned Lord Williams’ Comprehensive School which has recently obtained outstanding status from Ofsted.
