An Exceptional Private Estate with Lakes, Land and Luxury Living

Set within approximately 14 acres of breathtaking countryside — expanding to 15 acres if the barns are included — this rare and remarkable estate offers a lifestyle of complete seclusion, serenity and sophistication. At its heart lies a beautifully remodelled country residence of over 7,000 sq ft, surrounded by 2.75 acres of spring-fed lakes stocked with mature carp, rolling pastures, and established woodlands of over 200 mature trees.

Originally constructed in 1978 and extensively redesigned and extended in 2004/5, the main residence now blends contemporary comfort with timeless design. Six generous bedroom suites, each with en-suite bathrooms, offer refined accommodation, with private balconies to the principal and main guest bedrooms overlooking the tranquil waters. The layout is beautifully balanced with five elegant reception rooms, including a formal dining room, snug, lounge, and an expansive study.

The kitchen, created by award-winning designer Simon Bray, serves as the hub of the home, seamlessly flowing into a south-facing conservatory and family living spaces, complete with underfloor heating. A unique architectural centrepiece — a sculptural staircase by Philip Watts, one of only five of its kind in existence — elevates the home’s design credentials.

An array of modern luxuries includes hardwired internet throughout, two saunas, MVHR system, and EV charging point, complemented by solar panels covering up to 60% of electricity costs. A substantial four-bay garage with a self-contained annex above provides flexibility for guests, staff, or extended family.

The grounds present further appeal and potential: a private orchard, Virgin balloon launch site, and extensive sheep-grazed paddocks suggesting mixed-use Stamp Duty classification (likely 5%). Should the barns be included in the sale, there is scope for conversion into an additional residence, subject to planning, offering an exciting development opportunity.

A secure perimeter fence ensures privacy and peace of mind, with uninterrupted views across the lakes enhancing the estate’s sense of escape. There is also income potential from the lakes, previously used as a fishery.

The estate lies just 20 minutes from Milton Keynes Station (with trains to London in under 30 minutes), 5 miles from Silverstone, and close to world-class sporting venues including Franklins Gardens. The charming village of Greens Norton — with its award-winning community pub, shop, and church — is nearby, offering the perfect blend of rural charm and community spirit. Opportunities to invest in the local pub further enhance the appeal of this truly unique offering.

An extraordinary sanctuary of style, space and seclusion — a one-of-a-kind country estate
