Seller Insight Nestled in the heart of Padbury, a picturesque village with a vibrant community spirit, this charming thatched cottage has been our beloved family home for the past 19 years.

From raising our children to enjoying serene mornings on the veranda overlooking the lush garden, every corner of this home reflects warmth and character.

Originally drawn to its spacious rooms and historical touches, such as 18th-century windows and the 1920’s veranda , our cottage offered a perfect blend of old-world charm and modern comfort.

Set elegantly above the road, the cottage enjoys a picturesque view of thatched cottages , while the secluded back garden provides a tranquil retreat year-round.

One of the standout features is the spacious living and dining area, bathed in natural light through its rare French windows—a delightful surprise for a home of this age. This space has been the heart of family gatherings and intimate dinners, effortlessly transitioning from cosy evenings to joyful celebrations.

The interior layout flows gracefully from the boot room through the kitchen to the inviting living room, all adorned with original beams and thoughtful design touches. Upstairs, the expansive landing serves as a versatile space, housing our piano and a collection of well-loved books.

Outside, the garden unfolds in through the seasons from early spring’s snowdrops and daffodils to summer’s blooming roses—a colourful backdrop enjoyed best from the veranda, where mornings are spent with coffee and birdsong.

Over the years, we’ve enhanced our home with practical updates, including an ensuite for the master bedroom, a modernised kitchen, and a self-contained annexe that has welcomed family and provided rental income. Recently, an office above the garage has further enriched our lifestyle, offering a quiet space for work and creativity.

Beyond its walls, Padbury has offered us a warm community with annual events like the village produce show and open gardens week adding to its charm. The local pubs buzz with friendly gatherings, while nearby amenities in Buckingham and Milton Keynes ensure convenience without sacrificing country living.

As we prepare to part with this cherished home, what we’ll miss most is the sense of freedom it afforded our children, from carefree walks to school to afternoons in the village playground. Our advice to the next owners? Embrace every corner of this home, from the sunny veranda to the inviting community—it’s a place where memories are made and lives are enriched.”*
