Tithe Farmhouse is a magnificent and charming Grade II listed farmhouse and converted barn in a beautiful semi-rural setting. A highly individual character home situated on the fringe of the popular villages of Burnham and Taplow, whose railway station is less than a 20-minute walk away, providing Elizabeth Line services directly to London Paddington, the City and beyond, making the property an ideal commuter’s dream. The location is further enhanced by excellent road links with the M4, M40 and M25 all within easy reach, offering superb accessibility in every direction.

Originally dating back to the early 17th century, this attractive farmhouse and barn conversion has been carefully restored and sympathetically reconfigured, creating a wonderfully spacious and versatile family home while retaining a wealth of original character features. These include exposed wall and ceiling beams and timbers, traditional quarry tiled flooring and a number of open fireplaces, all combining to create a home of genuine warmth and historic charm.

The principal section of the house and barn is Grade II listed and has been lovingly maintained by the current vendors’ family for over 30 years. The previous owners undertook the significant renovation and reconfiguration of the property approximately forty years ago, thoughtfully blending period integrity with practical modern living.

Set within a peaceful plot approaching one third of an acre, the property enjoys far-reaching views across open countryside and benefits from fully fenced and secure boundaries. The accommodation is both generous and highly flexible. The ground floor comprises a welcoming reception hall leading to a series of impressive reception spaces including a drawing room, dining room and sitting room, ideal for both entertaining and family life. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home and is complemented by a large utility and boot room with stable door, added by the current owners. A cloakroom/drying room provides access to the downstairs WC and provides additional access to the rear garden.

On the first floor, the expansive layout continues with a principal bedroom suite with en-suite bathroom, three further bedrooms, spacious landing with airing cupboard storage, shower room and an additional snug room which could serve equally well as a study, nursery or walk-in wardrobe. The second floor offers two further large double bedrooms along with an additional family bathroom.

Outside, the gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and framed by mature hedgerows and established borders, interspersed with a variety of trees creating a private yet easily maintained setting. Further enhancing the offering is a substantial detached double garage, constructed by the current owners, which incorporates a fully self-contained one-bedroom maisonette to the side and above. Benefiting from its own courtyard garden, this provides excellent accommodation for guests, extended family, or potential rental or staff use. To the side of the garage is a children’s play frame which will remain with the property. The gated driveway provides extensive parking, comfortably accommodating ten or more vehicles when required.

Blending historic character, substantial accommodation and a wonderfully convenient location, Tithe Farmhouse offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive country home within easy reach of London and in a glorious green setting with views over rolling countryside.
