High Street, Stony Stratford, MK11

We are delighted to present Queen Anne House, a truly unique and historically significant townhouse situated in the heart of the charming market town of Stony Stratford. This exceptional Grade II* listed home offers an exquisite blend of early Georgian elegance and late Tudor character, thoughtfully preserved and beautifully presented throughout.

Built between 1703 and 1712 by a member of the prominent Jenkinson family, the property later served as a dower house for the Wilkinson family of Wolverton Manor House, remaining in their ownership until 1907. During the Second World War, it was requisitioned as an Officers’ Mess supporting the top-secret communications centre at Hanslope, closely linked to the renowned codebreaking centre at Bletchley Park. The house has since been privately owned, offering a rare lineage steeped in both local and national history.

Accommodation Overview
The property features five bedrooms, multiple reception rooms, and two bath/shower rooms, all set behind a handsome early 18th-century sandstone façade. The interior boasts oak and flagstone floors, sash windows with shutters, ornate fireplaces, exposed beams, and original panelling, alongside sympathetic modern additions including high-speed fibre broadband and a mezzanine home office.

Ground Floor
A spacious reception hall with wide oak flooring leads to a panelled drawing room with sash windows and a Victorian fireplace, offering a peaceful retreat. The open-plan sitting room and dining area flow seamlessly into the kitchen/breakfast room, creating a bright and sociable space ideal for modern family life. The sitting room features an inglenook fireplace and hidden staircase, while the kitchen includes a full range of integrated appliances, flagstone flooring, and a breakfast bar to seat six. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Mezzanine Office
A set of stairs from the dining room leads to a stylish mezzanine level—an ideal home office or reading nook—positioned above the kitchen.

Basement
The full-height basement, with power, lighting and windows for natural light and ventilation, offers potential as a cinema room, games room or gym.

First Floor
The principal bedroom has a feature fireplace and built-in wardrobes. Also on this floor is another bedroom, a dressing room, a contemporary shower room, and a large family bathroom complete with twin basins, freestanding bath, walk-in shower, WC, and feature fireplace.

Second Floor
The top floor includes three further bedrooms—one currently used as a home office—served by two staircases, offering flexibility for families or guests.

Outside:
A beautifully secluded walled rear garden provides a private and tranquil setting, perfect for outdoor entertaining. The property also benefits from a detached garage — a rare asset in the town centre.

Summary:
Queen Anne House is an extraordinary opportunity to own a significant piece of English heritage in a thriving and well-connected location. With its blend of architectural grandeur, historical importance, and practical family living, this property is not only a home but a story told in stone, timber, and time.
