Mount Tabor Stables, Leighton Road, Wingrave, Buckinghamshire

Property Description

Jon-Paul Brampton presents... freehold stable conversion situated in the gated grounds of a former Rothschild's built Manor House located in the charming Buckinghamshire village of Wingrave. 

The Property

This freehold stable conversion is located within the grounds of what was formerly The Old Manor House. Mount Tabor House & Stables is a Grade II listed building and stables which are steeped in history and date back to the 1870's when built for Hannah de Rothschild to enjoy her equestrian passions. The name changed to Mount Tabor House after WWII when the nuns of the Order of St Mary of the Cross took it over. It was gifted to the Order of St Mary of the Cross in 1946 and became a home for youngsters with learning disabilities. It was subsequently a school until its conversion in 2006.

Today we find a unique opportunity to own a slice of this history and to enjoy the architecture and grounds afforded to a grand country manor without the upkeep. Access to the property is granted through cast iron electric gates providing both privacy and security. A sweeping driveway leads to the main building and beyond to the Stables. It is here where you start to appreciate the wondrous views, where in the distance you can see the famous Whipsnade Lion and Ivinghoe Beacon to name but a few. 

The property itself benefits from its own private front garden from where you'll find the front door. A spacious bright hallway invites you in, benefitting from access to a downstairs WC.  The kitchen/diner is a glorious space, boasting vaulted ceilings and an immaculate finish. There are a range of wall and base units with all the inbuilt appliances you would expect. There is ample space for a good size table and chairs making this really feel like the hub of the home.  The adjacent living room is again generous. There are floor to ceiling windows with patio doors opening up onto the stable's central courtyard. Plantation shutters provide privacy and style, whilst immaculate decor, stylish flooring and underfloor heating provide comfort. 

There is a light filled stairway which leads up to the bedroom. A good size double, with character detailing, space for wardrobes and storage and a simply stunning ensuite. Recently refitted by 'Hawk Interiors' this four piece suite is gorgeous. Boasting a freestanding tub, as well as a walk in shower. 

Externally there is a delightful private garden to the front, with plenty of space to sit, dine and relax. There is allocated parking immediately beyond the garden gate. 

A simply stunning home, whether it's as a first time buy, a downsize move, or as a bolt-hole. But please do not just take my word for it. Browse the photos, read the description and watch the video tour. And then if you think this could be the home for you please get in touch to arrange a viewing.
