House For Sale £2,750,000
Individual family home with indoor swimming pool and large south facing rear garden.
Description
A lovely Queen Anne style family home, Vanbrugh House offers excellent accommodation, equally suited to both family living and more formal entertaining. The property occupies a generous plot approaching 1 acre and enjoys five bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool and wonderful gardens to the front and rear.
A fine entrance portico leads in to the welcoming reception hall, with a cloakroom and galleried landing above. Overlooking the front and rear gardens, an elegant sitting room has bi-fold doors opening on to the terrace and a feature marble fireplace with an open fire. A formal dining room lies adjacent, again with bi-fold doors and views over the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is a superb family space, with doors on to the garden and ample room for a sofa. The bespoke fitted kitchen has an excellent range of units, complemented by granite worktops. A central island provides further storage. Appliances include a dual fuel range cooker, gas hob, extractor, oven, dishwasher and with space for an American style fridge freezer. Just off the kitchen is a fully fitted utility room, and a further reception room, ideal as a family or play room, and leads through to the heated swimming pool. Benefitting from two sets of wide bi-fold doors opening on to the garden, and a large roof lantern, the pool room exudes light and space. Features include an electric pool cover, underwater lighting, roman steps and an ozone filtration system. In addition is a cloakroom and a separate wet room with changing area. Completing the accommodation on this floor is a large study, which could equally be used as a additional reception room.
An impressive galleried landing leads to five bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden, with a well fitted dressing area and an en suite bathroom. The remainder of the bedrooms, two with en suite facilities, all have built-in wardrobes.

Vanbrugh House is set back from the road, accessed through electric gates over a tarmac driveway leading to a turning circle and a triple garage. To the front is a large area of lawn with beautifully tended beds and borders. At the side, a kitchen patio catches the morning sun, with adjacent raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse. The rear garden faces due south and is extensive, predominately laid to lawn with beautiful wide, well stocked borders giving year round interest. A large fruit cage is full of blackberries, red and white currants, jostberries and boysenberries. Backing on to neighbouring land to the rear, the garden is bounded by fencing, hedging and mature trees providing privacy and seclusion. Adjoining the house to the rear is an entertaining terrace, perfect for outdoor dining and providing an ideal spot to enjoy the garden.
Location
Slough (mainline trains to Paddington) 1.8 miles, Gerrards Cross (mainline trains to London Marylebone) 5 miles, M40 (J2) 6 miles, Beaconsfield 7.5 miles, Heathrow (T5) 11.5 miles, central London 21 miles. All distances and times are approximate.
Vanbrugh House is ideally located in a sought after residential road in the village of Stoke Poges which enjoys a rural feeling being surrounded by attractive mature woodland and benefits from a primary school, doctors surgery and several local shops.
The larger towns of Gerrards Cross and Beaconsfield offer more comprehensive shopping facilities and fast commuter train services to London Marylebone. With the advent of Crossrail (first phase now completed) from Burnham, Taplow or Slough, journey times to London’s West End, City and Canary Wharf will be significantly reduced. The M40 and M4 are within easy reach, giving access to central London, Heathrow and the remainder of the motorway network.
Local golf clubs can be found in Stoke Poges and Burnham with additional clubs in Beaconsfield, Denham and Gerrards Cross. Racing can be found at Ascot and Windsor with rowing in the riverside towns of Marlow and Henley.
Buckinghamshire is renowned for its choice and standard of schooling. The county is one of the last to maintain the traditional grammar school system with Burnham Grammar School (for girls and boys) together with The Royal Grammar School and John Hampden in High Wycombe (for boys) and Beaconsfield High School (for girls). Independent preparatory schools include St Mary’s, Godstowe, High March (for girls) Caldicott, Davenies (for boys) and Dair House (for boys and girls).
Square Footage: 5,053 sq ft
