Quarters are delighted to offer for sale this five bedroom Grade II listed Buckinghamshire country home which is set in the prestigious grounds of Stockgrove Park Estate which extends some 80 acres adjoining Rushmere Country Park. Having been redeveloped in the 90’s, the time has come for the property to be modernised. Number One Stockgrove Park House is ideally suited to a buyer who understands the reward of restoring a unique and historical property, providing an opportunity for the new owner to make their mark on what is surely to be a long term family home.

Situation:
Stockgrove Park House is situated on stunning grounds of some 80 acres, adjoining nearby Rushmere Country Park.

The property was sold in 1996 and converted into six luxury residences, of which No. 1 houses the original bell tower, and what were once the gun room and squash court. Located within Buckinghamshire, this property falls within catchment of the sought after Aylesbury Grammar schools. No. 1 is situated within an iron railed courtyard, shared by five other properties, and to the rear boasts 180 degree vistas of the surrounding parkland and woodland, with Rushmere Country Park to the east, and spectacular sunsets to the west.
