A charming Queen Anne property in Buckinghamshire
THE PROPERTY: Clapton Revel is a secluded Grade II-listed home, originally built by a Dutch mill owner. The house dates from 1700 to 1710 and is of the classical Queen Anne style, with minor alterations made in the 1800s. Nestled in one and a half sprawling acres of unspoilt landscaped gardens, this spacious six-bedroom property is comprised of four floors, adorned with ornate fireplaces and wood panelling. Its high ceilings and sash windows allow light to flood each room, creating spaces that are beautifully bright and airy.
THE LOCATION: Situated in the heart of Buckinghamshire, on the banks of River Wye, Clapton Revel boasts handsome views of sculpted grounds and its very own mill pond. Set in the village town of Woodburn, there are direct transport links from Beaconsfield and High Wycombe to London Marylebone, plus Cross Rail connections to Central London are expected from 2021. It also benefits from an array nearby schools.
THE INTERIOR: The grand entrance hall is a decadent blend of traditional and contemporary styles, leading into a panelled reception-room. The drawing-room includes stylish French doors, which reveal an elaborate balustrade balcony with exquisite garden views. The open-plan kitchen is a sophisticated family space, featuring underfloor heating and a wooden breakfast bar with seating for two. Bedrooms are complete with en-suite bathrooms, with the exception of the room adjoining the utility-room, which is currently being used as a wine cellar.
WHY WE LOVE IT: This luxurious home has enchanting gardens with terraces that function as intimate entertainment spaces for guests and a romantic tree-lined path between the mill and pond.
