House For Sale £3,950,000
A truly charming country home, offering contemporary accommodation and circa 4.5 acres of outstanding grounds including formal gardens, pond, historic winery building, garage block and home office.
Constructed in 1991, after being in the family since 1986 and previously owned by the game keeper of Taplow Court and Lady Gage, Wickendon was inspired by famous architect Lutyens, and includes outstanding space, both inside and out.
The bespoke interiors give great charm yet are well-suited to young family life. A full-length reception hall welcomes you into the home, laid with flagstones and is flanked by full height windows, with a double height picture window that floods the space with light and views of the countryside.
The galleried drawing room is a particular highlight, being over 32’ long and enjoying views across the gardens and cricket pitch beyond, through the double height window. This is complemented by double doors opening into
both a family room and study, both with double doors onto the grounds. There is a beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room, with handmade oak units, a gas fired Aga and central island, leading through to the triple aspect
breakfast room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the gardens. To complete the ground floor there is a snug/bedroom 6 with en suite, utility room and guest cloakroom.
The grand oak carved staircase leads to the galleried first floor, providing access to three guest bedrooms, one with a dressing area and en suite, and the further two serviced by a family bathroom. The galleried landing leads above
the drawing room and to the principal bedroom suite, comprising large bedroom with fitted dressing area, boutique bathroom and balcony overlooking the wonderful views. There is a further guest bedroom suite with dressing area,
which can also be accessed via the second staircase to give privacy to both bedrooms.
Gardens and Grounds,
Wickendon offers truly outstanding grounds, with surround of open farmland and southerly views over the village cricket pitch, creating a very rare and unique private and peaceful plot to enjoy. The grounds are cleverly designed for family life, with space for play and entertainment, including large stone terraces shaded by wooden pergolas,
leading to sweeping lawns and formal knot, vegetable and herb gardens. There is also a detached home office space, ideal for independent home working. The formal gardens evolve into meadow land and a historic vineyard,
with a pond and large detached winery building.
