Do you fancy owning a house in one of the most desired locations in Bucks?
Well you can, if you an eye-watering £14.5m in the bank.
This 10-bedroom, 10-bathroom property in Jordans, near Beaconsfield, is a home where one can really live the life of luxury.
And its hefty price tag of £14.5 million means it is currently the most expensive house for sale in the county on Zoopla.
Grade II-listed Old Jordans has been described as an “amazing combination of new and old” with its setting of an 18th Century period manor house and a completely modern, minimalist interior.
It features an open plan living space and ample guest accommodation overlooking Japanese-inspired gardens.
It was purchased by its current owner after 400 years ownership by The Quaker Trust and holds a unique place in British history, according to estate agents Knight Frank.
Adjacent to The Quaker Meeting House, the resting place of William Penn, Old Jordans is said to have served as a hiding place for Quakers from Oliver Cromwell.
It is also the location of a historic barn built from the timbers of the famous Mayflower ship, the estate agents say.
If six acres of landscaped grounds with a natural swimming pond aren’t enough, the main house boasts 10 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and six reception rooms.
There is also a secondary property housing seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, as well as a guest cottage with a couple of two-bedroom apartments with considered contemporary additions, all approved by English Heritage.
The estate agents wrote on Zoopla: “A ‘super estate’ is traditionally described as an estate property whose buildings and gardens boast the typically unconstrained layout of a country estate whilst being architecturally aligned with the modern London town house.”
They added: “The brief was to create a uniquely impressive and versatile design equally suited to providing the ultimate property for entertaining in keeping with Old Jordans previous usage.
“Or simply a stunning single residence with incredible attention to detail, accommodating intimate private areas, breath taking views and an atmosphere palpably steeped in history.”
