8 bed detached house for sale

Knottocks Drive, Beaconsfield HP9

Centrally positioned on a generous plot, Oldbury House is a magnificent Arts and Crafts home built in 1907, retaining much of its Edwardian charm, including refurbished parquet floors throughout much of the ground floor. Spanning over 5,300 sq ft across three floors, this substantial property offers wonderfully bright, spacious rooms with high ceilings, expansive windows, and elegant, neutral décor that enhances the natural light and sense of space.

Over the past decade, the house has undergone a meticulous renovation, including new windows, boilers, rewiring, a new gas and water supply, an alarm system, and full redecoration. Two new Chesney wood-burning stoves with steel chimney liners have been added, and updates have been made throughout the kitchen to include underfloor heating, bathrooms, bedrooms, and reception rooms. Planning permission (now lapsed) was previously granted for a kitchen extension and new garage, offering further potential.

At the heart of the home is a grand reception hall, perfect for entertaining and family life. Multiple reception rooms provide flexibility: A large drawing room with Chesney stove, separate family room, sunroom with Italian bifold doors, study/snug, and open-plan kitchen/dining room with utility. Upstairs are seven bedrooms, including a generous principal suite, a family bathroom, and a top-floor room with the potential to be a cinema room, gym or bedroom suite.

Outside

Oldbury House sits on a mature, landscaped plot of approx. Half an acre. Recent updates include a porcelain-tiled patio, roof works, new gates, and garden improvements. Outbuildings include a double garage with workshop, stores, WC, and log store. Set behind double gates, the home has great kerb appeal, with a large drive and private southeast-facing gardens ideal for outdoor dining.
