Savills agent Hugh Maconochie said the thatched‑roof Grade II listed home, sitting on 0.57 acres, now carries a £1.75 million listing after a £200,000 cut.
Built in the 16th century, Thatch has flint walls and Tudor‑style timber framing that survive a 2008 purchase by Miller, who sought a quiet escape from London. "I was in London and life was very tense, and I was just dreaming about having a place to get away to," she told Architectural Digest.
Miller enlisted director Gaby Dellal to restore the interior, preserving original beams and low ceilings while installing a modern kitchen with a Lacanche range cooker and a freestanding bath in the principal suite. Dellal noted the challenge: "We kept everything that made the place unique," she said.
Savills said the price reduction was necessary to attract buyers in a market where comparable thatched cottages in the Chiltern Hills fetch upwards of £2.3 million. The listing now highlights four bedrooms, a freestanding bath, and a wildflower meadow that was created from a former gravel driveway.
Open‑house appointments are available through Savills next week, and potential buyers can view the property online at the Savills website.
