Gothic castle-like home in High Wycombe listed for £1.35m

Located on Warren Wood Drive in High Wycombe, the residency is depicted as a 'fascinating castellated house' that harmoniously embraces the old with the new. 

This freehold estate comprises four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and extends between 2,491 to 2,781 square foot.

The property is backed by the leafy woodland of 'The Rye' and includes its unique 'living wall' extension plus a sizeable roof terrace that offers panoramic woodland views.

The house, known as Castle Keep, was originally built in 1807 in the gothic style.

Subsequent enhancements were carried out, leading to the inclusion of an octagonal turret in 1818-19, with the late Victorian porch being a noteworthy addition.

Historically, it was possibly conceived as a lodge on the eastern entrance to Loakes Manor, known to be associated with the renowned architect James Wyatt and the illustrious garden designer, Capability Brown. 

A modern extension was introduced to the property in 1970, replaced conservatory in 2013, and the extension was further remodelled in 2009 with the creation of the 'living wall' and the construction of the roof terrace. 

The captivating blend of traditional and modern splendour continues inside.

The property's side entrance opens to an entrance hall with a pine staircase. There's access to a cloakroom, the kitchen/breakfast room, and the sitting room.

The sitting room further leads into the conservatory that beautifully opens to the rear garden. The snug can be accessed directly from the porch, and the main staircase from the lower ground floor.

The principal bedroom suite and the second bedroom with an en-suite shower room are located on the first floor.

This unique dwelling is packed with character, with features including wooden triple-glazed windows punctuating the entire stairwell, a full circle window in the cloakroom, and in-ceiling speakers by Bowers & Wilkins and Sonance.

Another notable feature to delight prospective homeowners is the kitchen/breakfast room fitted with bespoke base and wall units, a Falcon range cooker, and a free-standing Maytag American style fridge/freezer.

Wrapping it all together, the Vaillant boiler, installed in 2019, provides heat to column radiators throughout the house.

The garden encompasses a terraced seating area overlooking meticulously manicured lawns, hedging, and a small pond home to native newts.

Towards one end of the garden sits a timber summerhouse decked with a glazed front and side, perfect for those summer days. 

Profound with timeless elegance, the property masterfully exhibits a blend of traditional and modern value that will pique the interest of ambitious homeowners. With its gothic influence, modern features, and intriguing history, it is undoubtedly a tucked-away gem in High Wycombe.
