Ledburn, Buckinghamshire LU7

Dating from the Victorian era and originally part of the Mentmore Estate, The Shire House is a beautifully presented three bedroom stable conversion, set within the idyllic Buckinghamshire hamlet of Ledburn - Mentmore’s quieter, lesser-known neighbour.

Tucked away in a peaceful rural setting, the house combines its equestrian heritage with dramatic internal volume, creating a home for the 21st century that feels both grounded in history and generous in scale.

The entrance hall leads directly into the heart of the house: a striking open-plan sitting and dining room defined by its soaring vaulted ceiling rising over 17ft. Exposed oak beams, oak flooring and a remarkable sense of vertical space give the room architectural presence. Skylights above flood the interior with natural light, while a mezzanine bridge overhead adds both character and visual drama - a reminder of the building’s former life.

From here, the rustic farmhouse-style kitchen offers warmth and practicality in equal measure. Fitted with a range of wall and base units, travertine flooring and integrated appliances, it balances country charm with everyday function. A door leads directly to a paved courtyard garden to the rear.

The principal bedroom is thoughtfully positioned on the ground floor and enjoys a dual aspect and direct access to the main garden. Fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room provide comfort and convenience. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Stairs rise from the main living space to the first floor, where the mezzanine bridge and landing create a distinctive architectural moment. Two further double bedrooms are arranged on this level, one accessed along the walkway. Both are generous in proportion and are served by a family bathroom. The landing area also doubles as a pretty study area.

Outside, the main garden is predominantly laid to lawn, framed by mature borders and anchored by a generous patio that extends from the principal bedroom. Beyond the private grounds, residents enjoy access to beautifully maintained communal areas including landscaped lawns, a picturesque pond and allotment plots - a rare and charming extension of the rural setting.

Additional benefits include two allocated parking spaces, one within a carport.

The Shire House is a home defined by volume, heritage and countryside calm. A characterful conversion that offers flexible living within one of Buckinghamshire’s most quietly desirable hamlets.
