Ledborough Lane, Beaconsfield, HP9

A distinguished Edwardian residence with outstanding potential, set within half an acre on one of Beaconsfield’s most prestigious roads.

Set behind a sweeping driveway and surrounded by mature gardens, Mycroft is a substantial detached Edwardian home of remarkable character and scale. Situated on Ledborough Lane, one of Beaconsfield’s most desirable addresses, this impressive property lies just minutes from the town centre and railway station, offering an exceptional balance of heritage, space, and location.

Occupying a plot of approximately 0.5 acres, and extending to around 4,730 sq. ft. (including the garage and annexe), Mycroft presents not only an elegant family home but also an exciting opportunity for redevelopment or extension (STPP) — making it a compelling proposition for those seeking to create a truly bespoke residence in the heart of Beaconsfield.

Accommodation

The ground floor offers a series of refined and versatile reception spaces, ideal for both entertaining and everyday family life. A magnificent drawing room extends over 26 feet, complemented by a comfortable family room, formal dining room, and study.

The kitchen and breakfast area form the heart of the home, leading to a light-filled conservatory overlooking the gardens. A utility room and cloakroom complete the principal floor.

Upstairs, there are eight bedrooms and five bathrooms, arranged across two floors. The principal suite provides a tranquil retreat, while the remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or home working. Original Edwardian features—such as sash windows, high ceilings, and panelled walls—add warmth and authenticity throughout.

Annexe & Additional Accommodation

The self-contained annexe offers complete independence with its own entrance, kitchen, sitting room, bedroom, and bathroom, making it ideal for extended family, guests, or an au pair.

A triple garage and a spacious games room above provide further scope for leisure or conversion, subject to planning.

Gardens & Grounds

Approached via a private sweeping driveway, Mycroft enjoys a handsome red brick façade and architectural detailing typical of the Edwardian era. The south-facing rear garden is a secluded haven of peace and greenery, framed by mature trees and established planting. With generous proportions and privacy, the grounds offer an exceptional backdrop for family life — or an ideal foundation for future redevelopment.

Location

Positioned within walking distance of Beaconsfield New Town and its array of boutique shops, cafés, and restaurants, Mycroft benefits from both tranquillity and convenience. The Old Town offers further charm with historic architecture, fine dining, and a weekly market.

For commuters, Beaconsfield station (Chiltern Railways) provides services to London Marylebone in around 25 minutes, while the M40 (J2) is just over a mile away, giving swift access to London, Oxford, and the M25. Heathrow Airport is approximately 25 minutes by car.

An imposing Edwardian residence of immense charm and scale, set within half an acre of secluded, south-facing gardens on one of Beaconsfield’s most prestigious roads.

A truly rare opportunity to reimagine a classic Beaconsfield home in a central and highly coveted location.
