Oldbury House, 4, Knottocks Drive, Buckinghamshire, HP9 2AH

Oldbury House is a stunning period home built in 1907, in excellent condition throughout, occupying a superb South-facing plot approaching half an acre in size.

This fine residence measures over 6,000 sq. Ft in size and really must be viewed internally to be appreciated.

Set within one of Beaconsfield’s most prestigious residential enclaves, Oldbury House is a magnificent Arts and Crafts residence that stands as a testament to the elegance of the early 20th century.

Built in 1907, the property retains much of its original Edwardian charm, characterised by its striking gables, towering brick chimneys, and grand proportions.

Over the past decade, however, the house has been transformed into a sophisticated modern estate through a meticulous and comprehensive renovation.

No detail has been overlooked; the property has been fully rewired, fitted with new gas and water supplies, and features a modernized heating system with new boilers and high-end windows throughout.

The interior journey begins in a grand reception hall that immediately showcases the home’s refined character, with original parquet flooring leading into the heart of the house.

The living spaces have been thoughtfully updated for contemporary family life while honouring their architectural heritage.

Two new Chesney wood-burning stoves with steel chimney liners have been installed in the primary reception rooms, providing a cozy focal point for grand-scale entertaining or quiet family evenings.

The kitchen has been transformed into a chef’s sanctuary, featuring modern cabinetry and the luxury of underfloor heating, which extends throughout the space to create a warm, inviting hub.

Spanning over 6,230 square feet across three floors, the accommodation is as versatile as it is vast.

The upper floors house a collection of generously sized bedrooms and beautifully updated bathrooms, including a second-floor layout that currently features a dedicated cinema room-perfect for modern leisure.

Every room has benefited from full redecoration, ensuring a seamless aesthetic of understated luxury from the ground floor to the eaves.

Gardens and Grounds Outside, Oldbury House is equally impressive.

The property gated and framed by a sweeping gravel driveway, parking for several cars and opens at the rear to expansive, level lawns bordered by mature specimen trees and lush hedging for absolute privacy, complete with a outside gardeners toilet.

A large porcelain terrace provides an exceptional space for alfresco dining, overlooking the verdant grounds.

For those looking to put their own stamp on the property, there is significant further potential; planning permission (now lapsed) was previously granted for a substantial kitchen extension and a new garage, offering a clear path for future enhancement.
