Mount Tabor Stables, Wingrave, Buckinghamshire

Property Description

Jon-Paul Brampton presents.....A unique modern home situated in the gated grounds of a former Rothschild's built Manor House located in the charming Buckinghamshire village of Wingrave. 

The Property

This modern home is located within the grounds of what was formerly The Old Manor House. Mount Tabor House & Stables itself 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 2013. As part of the conversion of the main Manor House and Stables, this freehold link-detached house was built in 2013. A home constructed in the Rothschilds architectural style of the Manor House and Stables, whilst benefitting from the energy efficiency and modern comforts one would expect from a modern home. 

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. 

After parking in one of your two allocated parking spaces, a short walk along a landscaped pathway leads to your door. On entering into the property there is a main entrance hall with space for coat and shoe storage, as well as access to a downstairs WC.  

The downstairs space is essentially open plan, a large modern kitchen with a large island unit takes centre stage. There is copious storage and a wonderful outlook onto the old orchard to the rear of the development. A separate utility room houses the gas boiler and offers space for washing machine and tumble dryer as well as there being a separate sink in situ. A door provides access to the side garden.

The stunning main living room is adjacent and boasts a large bay with patio doors opening up onto the delightful, but manageable private garden. The views from here are simply awe-inspiring, sweeping across the two acres of formal grounds over towards the infamous Ridgeway ancient pathway in the distance.  There is a gas fuelled fireplace as a focal point with wood flooring throughout the entirety of the downstairs. There is ample space for dining, seating and entertaining here, all in front of what is an exceptional backdrop. 

Stairs lead up to the first first floor where there are three bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room, whilst a large shower room services the other two bedrooms. The impressive landing is light filled from a large glass window to the side of the house which creates both a great feature but also a bright space. There is a pull down loft ladder to access the loft, which is fully boarded. 

Externally the private garden area wraps around three sides of the house, with the main grass area immediately to the front behind a hedgerow providing privacy. Large enough to enjoy with a seating area or BBQ, but small enough to remain manageable. After all there are more than two acres of grounds to enjoy that are looked after on your behalf! Large swathes of lawn interspersed with mature trees, impressive topiary and unforgettable views. What's not to like! 

But please do not just take my word for it; browse the photos, take in the description, and most definitely watch the video tour. Then, and only then, if you think this is the house for you please give me a call to arrange a private viewing or discuss the property further,
