Grymsdyke Manor is an imposing early 18th‑century manor with Victorian Gothic additions, set in about 12.8 acres of formal gardens, paddocks and mature trees. The house offers exceptionally generous accommodation across multiple wings: eight bedrooms, eight reception rooms and a principal suite with dressing room and ensuite. Ancillary features include a heated indoor mosaic‑tiled pool with changing room and sauna, floodlit tennis court, three‑bay garage with workshop, greenhouse and an orangery.
The north wing functions well as a self‑contained annexe with ground‑floor games room, office/bedroom, snug and a spiral stair to three further rooms and a gym above — useful for guests, extended family or rental income. The principal reception rooms enjoy high ceilings, period fireplaces, moulded cornicing, sash windows and a fine porticoed entrance, creating a strong sense of character and provenance in a Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Practical notes: the property is freehold and lies in a very affluent, low‑crime village community with good local schools and rail links to London Marylebone (circa 30–40 minutes). Flood risk is recorded as none. Buyers should expect ongoing maintenance typical of a historic manor of this scale and budget for higher council tax; broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow.
This home will suit a family seeking extensive indoor and outdoor space, a buyer wanting multi‑generational living or someone looking for an iconic country house with room for modernisation and leisure facilities. The estate’s paddocks and broad drive beneath a canopy of trees provide privacy and countryside character while remaining within reach of local amenities and commuter routes.
