Hedsor Priory, Bourne End

Discreetly nestled within the exclusive and private Hedsor Priory Estate, this extraordinary detached residence presents an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home of remarkable proportions, offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years, and being sold with no chain.

Approached via a private lane and a sweeping driveway, this elegant gated property sits in a secluded and tranquil setting, surrounded by approaching 1 1/2 acres of the most lovingly tended formal gardens and grounds. Totaling close to 5,000 sq ft, the current accommodation is both extensive and versatile, offering a wealth of reception space and character features throughout.The ground floor boasts a magnificent triple-aspect sitting room, an inspired addition by the current owners, with garden views and an abundance of natural light. The original grand entrance hall, currently enjoyed as a music room, creates an immediate sense of scale and elegance. The home also includes a formal oak panelled dining room, a separate family room leading to a large Amdego conservatory with terracotta floor tiles, a dedicated study, and a well-appointed kitchen with adjacent utility room. A further studio/boot room features a shower, cloakroom, and sauna, providing an ideal additional office, wellness or hobby space.Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress, with a generously proportioned, dual-aspect principal bedroom suite complete with dressing area and four-piece ensuite bathroom. There are three further double bedrooms, a fifth single bedroom, and a spacious family bathroom.Externally, the grounds are a true highlight and have been cultivated with exceptional care and vision. A backdrop of mature trees and wide-open skies frames a vast sweep of immaculate lawns, abundantly stocked flower beds, shrubs and array of flowering trees bursting with seasonal colour, interest and good harvest fruit. Three serene ponds with waterfall features and large sitting out terraces create a wonderfully peaceful ambiance, while winding mown pathways offer scenic walks and charming vistas at every turn.
Children will delight in the freedom and adventure of these safe, sprawling grounds, which also include an orchard, a fenced vegetable garden, and numerous tranquil seating areas in which to relax and enjoy the natural beauty.
Additional features include a large detached garage capable of housing multiple vehicles, with a bothy, greenhouse and large covered woodstore behind. There may be potential to convert this space into a self-contained annexe (subject to permission and the usual consents), offering further flexibility for multigenerational living or guest accommodation.
