Set within approximately 17 acres of beautiful grounds, Holmer Ridings is a remarkable Grade II listed residence offering a wonderful blend of historic character and modern living. This striking home, complemented by a separate cottage and lodge, benefits from private driveway parking, a double garage, and uninterrupted views across open countryside. Originally built around 1728 as a hunting retreat for the Rothschild family, the property occupies a peaceful, secluded setting while still being conveniently close to village amenities and transport links. Situated at the end of a sweeping, tree-lined drive, the house enjoys total privacy within its parkland-style gardens and paddocks. The main building, a handsome double-fronted flint and brick house with Georgian box sash windows and a hipped, clay-tiled roof, still retains many original 18th-century features. Elegant arched sash windows echo the Georgian period styling, with the welcoming entrance framed by a classic portico supported by ionic columns and a traditional fanlight above the door.

Ground Floor: The grand front door leads into a bright lobby and hallway with the sweeping central staircase. Reception rooms include the elegant drawing room — featuring floor-to-ceiling sash windows, original coving, and a grand fireplace — and the former dining room (now a treatment room), both showcasing classic period details. The impressive kitchen/breakfast room is accessed through the boot room or directly from the drive via stone balustraded steps. Fitted with bespoke Mark Wilkinson cabinetry and high-end appliances, the kitchen flows into a dining area beneath a vaulted ceiling, with French doors opening onto the gardens. Lower Ground Floor: Originally housing the kitchens and sculleries, the lower ground floor now features a spacious home office with bespoke cabinetry, panelled walls, and Travertine flooring. The principal bedroom suite occupies this level, accessed via elegant walnut doors, and includes underfloor heating, a luxurious bathroom with a freestanding bath and steam shower, and two fully fitted dressing rooms. First Floor: The Georgian staircase rises to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedroom two benefits from an en suite and direct access to a balcony overlooking the grounds.

Additional Accommodation The Cottage: Providing around 1,415 sq. ft., the cottage includes a double garage with power and electric doors. Internally, there’s a kitchen/living room with French doors, two bedrooms (one on each floor), and two shower rooms. It can easily be divided into two self-contained units if desired.

Outhouses: Various external outbuildings include a laundry room, multiple storerooms, a second boiler room, and a dog kennel. The oil tank is conveniently located for easy access. Gardens and Paddocks The property is approached via electrically operated wrought iron gates opening to a gravel drive.

Beyond lie the extensive paddocks, enclosed with post-and-rail fencing and bordered by woodland, providing a superb rural outlook and a sense of open space. Equestrian Facilities Outbuildings & Land In addition to the principal residence and its beautifully curated grounds, Holmer Ridings now presents a rare and compelling opportunity to acquire an extensive range of equestrian facilities and pastureland, extending the overall holding to approximately 17 acres. Positioned discreetly within the grounds yet easily accessible from the main driveway, the stable complex forms an impressive courtyard arrangement, offering a comprehensive range of loose boxes alongside a variety of ancillary outbuildings. These include substantial storage barns, tack rooms, feed areas and a large tractor store, creating a highly functional and well-considered equestrian environment suitable for both private and professional use. Above part of the stable block, there is additional accommodation in the form of a self-contained flat, providing flexibility for staff, guests, or potential ancillary income, subject to any necessary consents. The land itself is a particular highlight, comprising a combination of well-maintained paddocks and open grazing, enclosed by post and rail fencing and bordered by mature trees and hedgerows. The setting offers both privacy and picturesque outlooks across the surrounding Chiltern countryside. A dedicated riding arena further enhances the equestrian appeal, providing year-round usability and making this an ideal proposition for those with serious equestrian interests. This significant expansion transforms Holmer Ridings from an already impressive country home—originally set within approximately seventeen acres of gardens and paddocks —into a substantial rural estate, offering exceptional lifestyle versatility. Whether utilised for equestrian pursuits, smallholding potential, or simply enjoyed as an expansive private domain, the additional land and buildings present a unique opportunity rarely available in such a sought-after village setting. Features such as a circular pavilion and a charming dovecote enhance the picturesque feel of the estate.
