The former Buckinghamshire home of Great British Bake Off star Mary Berry is for sale.

The chef, baker and writer spent three decades at Watercroft with her husband, Paul Hunnings. It was here where Mary filmed her popular show, Mary Berry Cooks, teaching viewers how to make delicious meals from her shaker-style kitchen.

Mary and Paul sold the home to the current owners in 2019, downsizing to a smaller property in Henley, Oxfordshire.

Exuding character and charm, the Grade II listed home offers three reception rooms, six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and wonderful historical features. The accommodation is well-presented, set in beautiful grounds with a natural pond, formal gardens, and meadowland with breathtaking distant views.

The sale also includes a detached two-bedroom cottage and an additional one-bedroom coach house, perfect for guests. Completing this outside space are tennis courts, extensive outbuildings and picture-perfect gardens that will delight in every season.

It wouldn't be Mary Berry's house without an impressive kitchen. Equipped with integrated appliances, a large gas-fired AGA, a walk-in refrigerated larder for cold storage, granite work surfaces and an island, it's the perfect place for whipping up recipes from the queen of British baking. You'll also find a utility room equipped with a range of units next door.

Meanwhile, other highlights include a Georgian pillared entrance porch, a library area with steps down to the two cellars, a drawing room with elegant bow windows and an open fireplace, wall panelling in the dining room, and a useful office for remote working. It really does have everything.

"Being the former home of a well-known food writer, chef, baker and TV presenter, the kitchen is naturally kitted out with the very best appliances and fittings,' says Ben Dommett, head of Savills Beaconsfield. "Watercroft is a perfect house for those looking for a period family home in the heart of a village."

This property is currently on the market for £3,500,000 with Savills.
