Sienna Miller’s storybook cottage hits the market

Actress Sienna Miller has listed her charming thatched-roof cottage in the English countryside for £1.95 million (AUD$4.07 million).

The 19th-century property in Buckinghamshire features a distinctive thatched roof that drapes dramatically over the brick structure almost to the ground.

Despite its modest 1,992 square feet, the home includes four bedrooms and multiple gathering spaces.

The cottage sits on 0.57 acres of land amid wildflower meadows in the hamlet of Toweridge, near West Wycombe, approximately two hours northeast of London.

According to Mansion Global, Miller, who has owned the property since 2004, commissioned movie director Gaby Dellal to redesign the interior in the early 2020s, creating what Miller described to Architectural Digest as “the biggest tiny house you’ve ever seen.”

The renovation preserved original features, including exposed wooden beams, low ceilings, and open fireplaces, while introducing vibrant colours and patterns throughout.

The home boasts Critall windows salvaged from eBay, a kitchen with a large Lacanche range, and a cozy snug with an open hearth fireplace.

“The cottage has history in abundance yet the thoughtful interiors and outdoor seating areas are perfectly placed for family gatherings,” Hugh Maconochie of Savills County Department said, who is marketing the property.

The redesign maximised character in minimal space, featuring patterned wallpaper, Moroccan tiles in the bathroom, and strategically placed mirrors to amplify light.

The dining room opens to a second-floor mezzanine, creating an expansive feeling despite the home’s compact footprint.

As part of the renovation, Dellal transformed a storage shed on the property into a one-bedroom guesthouse with a wood-burning stove and planted wildflower meadows and private gardens surrounding the main house.

The property combines historic charm with modern comforts, offering a peaceful retreat that Miller has used as a holiday home for herself and her daughter.
