Internally the house benefits from excellent family accommodation, and having been recently refurbished, it is now a unique opportunity to purchase a historic home finished to a very high standard. Accessed via a large arched front doorway off the south-facing central gravel courtyard, you are greeted by a charming entrance hallway with stone flagged flooring. The dining and drawing rooms are both easily accessible, with beautiful fireplaces, cornicing and window shutters in both. The kitchen, also with stone floors, is spacious with a central island and store. The ground floor also has a sizeable family room and two WCs.
On the first floor, there is an excellent range of bedrooms, including four bedroom suites and the large principal bedroom with a dressing room and en suite bathroom. All bedrooms on the first floor have en suite facilities. There is potential to extend the accommodation further by updating the large attic space on the second floor.
Stowe Castle is set in impressive mature gardens, surrounded by stunning open countryside. The gravelled driveway, flanked to one side by a formal lawn, leads to an attractive open courtyard at the front of the house and onto a discreet parking area with its own separate exit. To the southwest of the house, there is a formal lawned area with well maintained Beech, Laurel and Hawthorn hedging and mature trees. At the rear of the house, there is an attractive stone colonnade pergola leading to a brick building with a vaulted ceiling and sliding doors. Inside is a kitchen, living room, bedroom and WC, which was previously staff accommodation. There is also a further paddock and helipad in the northwest corner.
At the front of the house, there is an impressive 2,727 sqft refurbished barn. The former barn has been converted into an incredible set of spaces and secondary accommodation. The ground floor has an impressive lateral open plan lounge with a connecting playroom, with a kitchen and WC to the rear. Up the oak and glass panelled staircase is a further lounge and pool room with a bar with the timber Barn gables on view above. There is also a bedroom and en suite shower room.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
