Stately seven-bedroom country home with pool, tennis court and cottage.
Gated Georgian residence on 3.9 acres
An imposing, newly refurbished Georgian residence set within 3.9 acres in the village of Hedgerley, this seven-bedroom detached home balances period character with modern comfort. High ceilings, large windows and eight reception rooms provide generous family living and formal entertaining spaces. The grounds include an outdoor heated swimming pool, private tennis court and bespoke wine cellar; a separate two-bedroom cottage adds flexible guest or staff accommodation.
The house was comprehensively renovated to a high standard and retains Georgian proportions and detailing. Five bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and there are extensive utility and leisure spaces including a cinema room and a custom wine store. Transport links are strong for a rural setting — roughly 20 minutes by train to London Marylebone from nearby stations and easy road access via the M40 — and a wide choice of state and independent schools is within short driving distance.
Buyers should note some practical considerations. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, which can mean higher fuel costs and servicing obligations compared with mains gas. The main house is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and was assumed to lack cavity wall insulation—this may reduce thermal efficiency and increase running costs despite recent refurbishment. Broadband speeds are reported slow in the area and council tax is very expensive. Overall, this property will suit buyers seeking a large, private country estate with extensive leisure facilities and period charm, and who are comfortable with the running and maintenance costs of a historic, rural home.
