About this property
A beautifully presented Grade II listed Georgian home at the heart of historic Stoke Mandeville village, combines timeless character with exceptional family space. Once an 18th century farmstead, the house now offers over 4,400 sq. ft. of adaptable accommodation set within 0.7 of an acre of mature gardens. With elegant period features, flexible annexe potential and 0.4 of a mile to the station.
Set in the heart of the historic Buckinghamshire village of Stoke Mandeville, is a graceful Grade II listed Georgian home that has evolved beautifully over the centuries into a place perfectly suited to modern family living.
The house was transformed in the 18th century, at the same time that the village church was built, into the elegant manor house we see today.
Its long story is evident in the exposed beams, original fireplaces, and lovingly preserved proportions, while thoughtful renovations ensure comfort, space and flexibility for contemporary life.
Approached through double electronic gates and a sweeping driveway, the house offers a sense of arrival without formality. From the moment you step inside the entrance hall, there’s a feeling of warmth and continuity where generations past sit comfortably alongside present day living.
The original drawing room, sitting room and dining room retain their period character, complete with exposed oak beams and classic fireplaces. These rooms are ideal for family celebrations, relaxed evenings by the fire, or quiet moments with a book.
At the heart of the home lies the modern kitchen/breakfast room, a natural gathering space where busy mornings, shared meals and lingering conversations unfold. Flowing seamlessly into a family room with a wood burning stove, this part of the house truly embraces everyday life.
French doors from the family room and drawing room open directly onto the garden terrace, making it easy for children to drift in and out during summer months or for larger family gatherings to spill outdoors.
Linked via a covered boot room perfect for muddy wellies after country walks, the double garage offers excellent storage and exciting potential. Above the garage sits a large, peaceful space that has served variously as a yoga studio, studio apartment, home office and cinema room, easily adapting as family priorities change.
To the first floor, a light-filled Georgian landing housing a small library, leads to five generous double bedrooms, a large family bathroom and a discrete guest shower room, providing ample space for children, guests or multi-generational living. The principal suite is a peaceful retreat, with high ceilings, a large dressing room and a luxurious en-suite featuring a freestanding roll top bath and walk-in shower.
A drop-down ladder provides access to an open-plan attic room, ideal for hobbies, homework, games or quiet study, while additional loft space offers valuable storage.
Practicality has been carefully considered throughout the home, ensuring it works just as well for busy family life as it does for entertaining.
Outside
The gardens are a defining feature, mature, private and wonderfully established, bordered by original brick walls and shaded by apple, pear, fir and oak trees.
A sun-soaked patio provides the perfect spot for outdoor dining, while the expansive lawns are ready for family cricket matches, garden parties or relaxed afternoons. The wisteria cascading across the rear of the house flowers several times a year, bringing colour and character with very little maintenance.
A further converted garden room adds yet another flexible space, ideal for working from home or creative pursuits.
