Nestled in the heart of the sought-after historic village of Stoke Mandeville, Oak Tree House is a stunningly presented Grade II listed home. Previously Oak Tree Farm, it was beautifully developed in the 18th century into the Georgian Manor House it is today, when the church was rebuilt in the centre of the village.
Boasting an impressive 3,649 sq. ft. of internal living space, along with an additional 928 sq. ft. in the potential annex, this historic and remarkable property is set on approximately two-thirds of an acre of private grounds. It is a totally unique, one-of-a-kind, exceptionally elegant property, featuring a host of historical features blending the old with the new, having been featured in Homes & Gardens as well as photographic shoots.
The Accomoodation
Approached via double electronic gates, the sweeping driveway sets the tone for this exceptional residence, offering a true sense of arrival. Stepping through the front door, you're welcomed by a grand entrance hall and staircase, leading into a perfect blend of period elegance combined with contemporary living. The house has been extended numerous times throughout its history and the current owners have redecorated throughout and expanded the outdoor living spaces.
The original formal drawing, sitting and dining rooms, with their exposed oak beams and original fireplaces, exude timeless charm. These spaces seamlessly flow into a modern, live-in kitchen/breakfast room, complemented by a cosy family room/snug featuring a log-burning stove. Both the drawing room and snug open up onto the generous gardens via original French doors to paved patio for lounging and entertaining.
Upstairs, a classic Georgian-style landing flooded with natural light leads to five generously sized double bedrooms, served by a modern bathroom which has shower and double basins, with a separate shower en-suite to the guest room. The stunning principal suite includes a vast dressing room, large high-ceiling master bedroom with an opulent en-suite bathroom, complete with a freestanding roll-top, double slipper bath.
Additional stairs lead to an open-plan loft room, ideal as a hobby, games room or study space, with Velux windows looking out towards the Chilterns, this leads to further access to a large storage area. An additional loft space is in the back part of the original farmhouse.
Outside
The property's modern double garage is linked by a covered boot room, perfect for muddy wellies and coats after a long country walk. The garage is easily accessible and offers excellent storage and wealth of possibilities for further development as a self-contained cottage. There is a large tranquil space above the garage, accessible via an internal staircase. This space has been used as a yoga studio, a studio apartment and is now used as a home office and cinema room. A further outbuilding has been converted into a summer house, offering additional accommodation or home office. The surrounding gardens offer beautiful mature apple, pear, fir and oak trees and shrubs with well-maintained lawns, and original brick wall boundaries enhancing the sense of privacy and tranquillity, receiving the sun all day long. A patio and entertainment area provides the perfect backdrop for large or intimate outdoor gatherings.
