5 bedroom detached house

Situated in the heart of the highly desirable Buckinghamshire village of Buckland, The Old Dukes Head is available to the market for the first time in almost thirty years, and is offered with no upper chain.

Steeped in history and listed as Grade II, Old Dukes Head believed to have been established as far back as 1647. Once a thriving inn known as The Dukes Head, it underwent a transformation into a residential dwelling around 1900. While carefully redesigned to suit modern living, this enchanting home has successfully retained its timeless charm, character, and captivating stories.

Walking round this enchanting family home, you cannot help but be captivated by the abundance of authentic period features. From the warm terracotta tiled flooring to the inviting crackling fireplaces and the intricate exposed beams, each detail showcases the property's rich heritage. Of noteworthy mention are the remarkable Georgian wall murals, discovered during renovations in the late 1990s, that unveil fascinating tales in the original bar area.

The property's layout is a masterpiece of its own, offering an intriguing and versatile experience with its three distinctive staircases. Hidden nooks and secret passages seamlessly blend with spacious living rooms and five generously sized bedrooms, creating an extraordinary and substantial sanctuary for families to call home.

As one ventures outside, the allure and charm extend to the sprawling grounds, stretching across approximately 1.25 acres. The mature plot, adorned with natural beauty, invites tranquility and promises endless possibilities for outdoor enjoyment.

As you approach the property via a long driveway, the front lawn extends to around 100ft, with Old Dukes Head set back nicely from Peggs Lane, and the mature trees create a nice screen of privacy. Situated next to the main house itself is the detached four vehicle garage with electric doors. There is a home gym at the rear of the garage.

To the rear there are completely private professionally landscaped gardens, with a pond with wooden pier through the middle and a lovely summerhouse sat close-by.

Towards the bottom of the garden is a hard surfaced tennis court. At the end of the garden, there is nothing but open countryside to view.

An appointment to view is essential.
