Known as The Farm, this enormous ten-bedroom house fit with a pool, cinema, tennis court, orchard and paddock could be yours for a tear-jerking £10million.
Set within 37-acres of plush Bucks countryside The Farm is located just under four miles from Beaconsfield and has its own private woodland, ideal for a canter with the ponies.
Nestled just off the village of Seer Green, The Farm stands on land once owned by a Saxon Countess.
Shortly after the Norman Conquests, King William granted the land to Bertram de Verdun who had come to England with the Conqueror and fought alongside him at the Battle of Hastings.
Rawlings Farm was more recently sold at auction in 1917 and during WWII the house is said to have accommodated personnel of the Royal Air Force.
The current owners have enjoyed living in the property for almost forty years and have undertaken considerable renovations in keeping with the style of the original building, most recently in the northern wing.
Described as beautifully designed, many of the principal rooms span the width of the house which ensure they make the most of the views of the gardens and Chilterns.
Oozing grandeur the entrance hall opens on to the jaw-dropping, oak-panelled dining room fit with an open fire. Could you imagine the magnificent dinner parties you could have in this house?
In keeping with the wealth of history, the property boasts many features one would expect in a house of this standing including leaded bay windows, open fireplaces, high ceilings and solid wood flooring.
The hall also leads to the drawing room which boasts views across the garden. Beyond this room are the library, sitting room and two studies.
Located in the right-wing is the impressive kitchen and breakfast room as well as a utility room and cinema. Most impressively, for wine lovers at least, is the staircase that leads down to a climatically-controlled wine cellar.
There are ten bedrooms on the first floor, many of which have en suite bathrooms.
The master suite can be found in the west wing. The triple aspect bedroom is described as having excellent proportions and lovely views. It also has a dressing room and a spacious bathroom.
The piece de-resistance of this large family home are all the added benefits situated beyond the main house.
A large detached leisure complex comprises a heated pool and a sauna and the tennis court is close by - surely you'd never need to leave.
Beyond the walls of the formal garden, is an established orchard and kitchen garden with a 100-year-old restored greenhouse, a second greenhouse and further outbuildings.
The woods, paddocks and open pastureland encourage plenty of wildlife, including fallow deer and the woodland even features a treehouse and zip wire.
The property is available on Rightmove.
