Risborough Road, Little Kimble, HP17

Tucked away behind electric gates and within five acres of beautifully maintained grounds, this substantial Victorian family home offers architectural charm, thoughtful design and contemporary functionality.

The house is South East facing, allowing for sun from morning through late afternoon, with golden evening light enjoyed from the summer house and garden terrace, perfect for sundowners. Mature trees line the gardens and stream; each illuminated on a timer to dramatic effect come nightfall.

A heated outdoor pool with adjoining pool house takes centre stage in the summer months, while a lawn beyond is perfectly manicured for croquet.

Inside, the home tells a story of craftsmanship and considered detail.

From the entrance, you step into a 1920s-inspired foyer with underfloor heating. The staircase is light oak, and the half landing leads to a serene music room, ideal as a quiet retreat or creative space.

A standout feature is the grand light-filled drawing room with dual aspect bay windows, original cornicing, hidden door panelling, and an open fire. The formal dining room has a restored Georgian fireplace and bay window overlooking the garden. A warm and characterful study with deVol Haberdasher’s cabinetry and a bespoke handmade light fitting opens on to the rear gardens.

The large bespoke kitchen is fitted with Neff and Fisher & Paykel appliances. The kitchen has French doors that lead to the rear gardens, a spacious utility room and adjoining laundry with built-in Miele appliances. Crittall-style doors lead to ‘The Den’ a dedicated games, cinema and playroom, complete with its own glitterball and adjacent boiler room.

Upstairs, the main bedroom suite is a true retreat, with a tented ceiling, wood-burning stove, and freestanding Drummonds bath.

The ensuite is finished with double sinks, deVol cabinet, and separate shower. A walk-in dressing room adds a further layer of privacy and practicality. There are four further large double bedrooms, including one styled in Arts and Crafts tradition with ensuite, and a separate family bathroom.

A self-contained flat with private entrance offers a kitchen/living room, bedroom and ensuite shower, ideal for guests, staff, or multigenerational living.

Outbuildings near the house currently host a gym, workshop, and secure storage.

There is also a four-car garage with electronic doors and an alarm, an EV charging pod, a full-house backup generator, and advanced home tech throughout: WiFi, a comprehensive alarm system, monitored CCTV (including ground-floor rooms), and pop-up lawn irrigation using water drawn from the stream via a secondary pump shed.

The gardens are a highlight, home to a vegetable patch, mature trees, old wildlife visitors (deer, kites, herons, and foxes), and expertly maintained year-round by the incumbent garden team, Springleaf.

The location offers peaceful countryside living with excellent connections: Little Kimble station is just a five-minute walk from the front gate, with trains to London Marylebone in around an hour.

Wendover and Princes Risborough are both within a 10-minute drive, with good shops including Tesco and M&S, while the walks and woodlands of the Chiltern Hills are right on your doorstep.

A house of character, practicality and beauty, where heritage and modernity sit comfortably side by side.
