Buckingham: Stowe Castle goes up on the market

The Grade II listed castellated house in Stowe, Buckingham, is aptly named as Stowe Castle.

Though it dates to 1741,refurbishment works over the years mean it has all the latest luxury comforts such as a helipad, wine cellar and a guest house.

The imposing walls hide five bedrooms, five reception or living rooms, and five bathrooms across the 4,098 sq.ft horseshoe shaped property.

The well-thought out interior design is by Katharine Pooley. Each room has its own unique atmosphere thanks to the use of quirky wallpapers and rich colours, arched doorways with solid oak doors, a marble ornate fireplace and decorative cornicing.

Alongside plenty of space even for a big party, a separate guest house has its own living room, kitchen and bedroom designed for visitors or live-in staff.

If the new owners require more space, the attic space can be extended into further rooms depending on planning consent.

A separate refurbished barn boasts two bathrooms, play room, two lounges, one bedroom and a bar and pool table area across 2,727 sq.ft.

Stowe Castle sits on approximately 1.78 acres surrounded by countryside landscape. This includes mature gardens, formal lawn, paddock, courtyard, and parking area.

Property agent Hugh Maconochie from Savills said: “This is an extremely rare opportunity to own your own castle in the Home Counties! It's a beautiful historic home with the most exquisite interiors created by one of the most acclaimed interior designers in the country.”
