5, Little Horwood Manor, Milton Keynes, MK17 0PU

No. 5 Little Horwood Manor ia a rare and spacious family home within one of Buckinghamshire's most architecturally distinguished country estates.

Occupying an enviable position within Little Horwood Manor, with accommodation arranged over three floors and extending to more than 287 sq m (3,093 sq ft), comprising four double bedrooms, set within three acres of private mature gardens and a tennis court, all enjoying uninterrupted views over open Buckinghamshire countryside.

The house is distinguished throughout by its elegant proportions, high ceilings, and abundance of natural light.

The ground floor offers a superb light filled drawing room for formal entertaining, anchored by a stunning fireplace that makes it a natural focal point for gatherings, along with a farmhouse-style kitchen, a study, and a cloakroom.

The first floor comprises two generous bedrooms, including an unusually large principal suite with an en-suite bathroom and bespoke dressing room, while the second bedroom benefits from an en-suite of its own and two walk-in wardrobes.

Two further double bedrooms, each with en-suite facilities, occupy the second floor - providing excellent accommodation for family and guests alike.

This exceptional space and privacy is set within a house of genuine architectural pedigree.

Little Horwood Manor was commissioned in 1938 by the industrialist George Gee as a hunting box for the Whaddon Chase Hunt and designed by A.S.G.

Butler - the acclaimed early-twentieth-century architect and biographer of Sir Edwin Lutyens.

Pevsner's Buildings of England singles it out as one of the last Lutyenesque mansions built in England, and the house is Grade II listed for its architectural quality.

During the Second World War it reputedly served as an out-station linked to the code-breaking work at nearby Bletchley Park, adding a layer of historical intrigue to its story.

Mothballed after the war, it was sympathetically subdivided into a small number of substantial individual residences in 1984 and is approached today via a magnificent tree-lined driveway culminating in a walled circle at its end - a fitting and memorable arrival for a house of this stature, set within immaculately maintained communal parkland.

No.

5's own private gardens are equally special, with established native trees providing structure, privacy and a real sense of maturity that only decades of growth can achieve, complemented by a timber-framed double garage offering ample parking.

The setting is genuinely peaceful and surrounded on all sides by open farmland - a rare degree of tranquillity for a property so well connected.

Despite its rural seclusion, the Manor is superbly served.

Milton Keynes Central Station is a short drive away, with direct trains reaching London Euston in as little as 32 minutes - making a London office or evening at the theatre entirely realistic for a country-based owner.

Birmingham can be reached in under an hour from the same station whilst East West Rail will make Oxford a 27 minute trip from nearby Winslow Station, putting three of the country's major economic and cultural centres within comfortable reach.

Locally, countryside footpaths lead directly to Little Horwood village, with its pub, church and recreation ground offering the kind of close-knit community life that has become increasingly rare.

Combining exceptional space and privacy with architectural significance and genuine connectivity, this property presents a rare opportunity - whether as a peaceful retreat for a couple seeking a country lifestyle without sacrificing access to London, or as a family home offering space, history and a true sense of community.

The house's outstanding fundamentals provide the perfect foundation for a purchaser to add their own cosmetic touches, with considerable scope to personalise a home of genuine character.
