2 Bedroom Semi Detached House, Mitre Street, Buckingham, MK18

Charming Grade II Listed Thatched Cottage, Beautiful Courtyard Garden and Detached Annexe | Mitre Street, Buckingham

Believed to date back to circa 1430, this enchanting Grade II listed thatched cottage is a truly special home, rich in history and brimming with character. Constructed primarily from traditional timber “crucks” forming striking A-frame structures, the property showcases a remarkable blend of original period features alongside thoughtful modern touches for comfortable everyday living.

From the moment you step inside, the warmth and charm of the home is immediately apparent. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to a characterful dining room where exposed beams, brick flooring and a wood burning stove create a wonderfully cosy setting for entertaining or family meals. The sitting room is equally inviting, centred around a magnificent inglenook fireplace with log burner, complemented by flagstone flooring and beautiful exposed timbers that highlight the heritage of the cottage.

The ground floor continues with a study, perfect for working from home or quiet reading, while the kitchen offers a traditional country feel with a butler sink, granite work surfaces, space for a range cooker and a stable door opening onto the garden. A useful pantry and separate utility room provide practical space for storage and laundry, alongside a well appointed ground floor bathroom.

Upstairs, the cottage offers two generous bedrooms, each full of character with exposed beams and charming features. The principal bedroom enjoys fitted storage and access to a distinctive L-shaped Jack and Jill bathroom which also serves the second bedroom, creating a lovely private suite arrangement.

Outside, the property continues to impress. A beautiful walled courtyard garden provides a peaceful and private setting, thoughtfully designed with paved seating areas, well stocked flower beds and an attractive pergola creating the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining during warmer months. Beyond this, a further garden area offers additional outdoor space alongside off street parking for up to five vehicles and an EV charging point.

The large rear garden was acquired separately by the current owner from the council, providing outdoor space beyond the original title. This enhancement is not reflected in online value estimates.

Adding further versatility to the home is a spacious detached two-room annexe complete with shower room. This fantastic addition lends itself perfectly to guest accommodation, a home office, studio or hobby space, offering flexibility to suit a variety of lifestyles.

Combining centuries of history with warmth, charm and practical modern living, this remarkable thatched cottage presents a rare opportunity to own a truly characterful home in a delightful setting.
