Oak Tree House, Stoke Mandeville Village

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.
