He designed the gardens himself which, to this day, retain the same infrastructure in the flowerbeds and trees.

Occupying an elevated position on one of Harrow-on-the-Hill’s most prestigious private roads, The Oaks & The Sheiling is a substantial late Victorian residence dating back to 1884, originally designed by the renowned architect Robert “Bungalow” Briggs. Set within a peaceful, no-through road and surrounded by similarly distinguished homes, the property offers a rare combination of historical significance, generous proportions and exceptional future potential. The property is believed to have once been home to Sir Frank Whittle, the pioneering inventor of the jet engine, during the 20th century. Held within the same family for over 50 years, the home has been carefully maintained and adapted during their ownership, with improvements undertaken several decades ago to suit family life at the time. Today, the property would benefit from modernisation, presenting a compelling opportunity for an incoming purchaser to either sensitively restore and enhance the original Victorian character or consider a more comprehensive redevelopment, subject to the necessary permissions. Notably, the property is not listed, offering greater flexibility for those looking to reconfigure or rebuild entirely. The accommodation is currently arranged as two substantial, self-contained residences—The Oaks, the principal house and The Sheiling, originally created as servant quarters—providing inherent versatility for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or potential re-integration into a single, impressive dwelling. Architecturally, both elements remain highly attractive, with The Oaks distinguished by its stonework and The Sheiling recognised by its gables and tile-hung elevations, each enjoying excellent privacy and far-reaching views. Internally, a wealth of original features remain in place, including oak panelling, fireplaces, leaded light windows and traditional bay elevations, all offering a strong foundation for restoration. The existing layout reflects the needs of a previous era, with later alterations—such as the opening up of the kitchen space to create a larger family area—now offering scope for further enhancement in line with modern expectations. The grounds are a particular highlight, with mature gardens surrounding the home and a charming private orchard situated to the rear, which is included within the sale. Offering a rare sense of space and tranquillity, the orchard provides a wonderful extension of the garden and an opportunity to create a secluded outdoor retreat, productive kitchen garden or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The property also benefits from a substantial garage and generous off-street parking. The location is particularly attractive for families, with the world-renowned Harrow School just moments away, alongside a wide selection of highly regarded local schools. St Dominic's Sixth Form College is also within easy walking distance. Excellent transport links are provided by both Harrow-on-the-Hill (Metropolitan Line) and South Harrow (Piccadilly Line) stations, offering convenient access into Central London.

Occupying a wonderfully private position within a secluded enclave of just three properties, Oak Barn is an impressive family home surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens and enjoying far-reaching views across the open Cambridgeshire countryside. Situated in the charming village of Old Hurst, to the north-east of Huntingdon, the property offers an appealing combination of generous and versatile accommodation, attractive outside space and a peaceful rural setting, whilst remaining conveniently placed for the amenities of both Huntingdon and St Ives. The house opens into a spacious reception hall, with a glazed wall providing an immediate connection to the garden room and the gardens beyond. There are two well-proportioned reception rooms, together with a dedicated study, cloakroom and useful utility room. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with bespoke-style solid oak cabinetry, granite work surfaces and ample space for informal family dining. On the first floor are four generously proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite shower rooms, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom. The accommodation provides excellent flexibility for modern family life, with the additional study and outbuildings offering superb opportunities for home working, hobbies or ancillary use. Outside, the property is enveloped by beautifully maintained gardens, laid predominantly to lawn and complemented by established planting. The gardens extend around the house and open out towards wonderful views over the surrounding countryside and a small paddock, creating a particularly tranquil and private setting. A range of useful outbuildings further enhance the property, including a garage, log store and workshop, together with a separate office with its own WC. There is also generous off-street parking, making Oak Barn particularly well suited to family life and those requiring space for home working or recreational pursuits. Old Hurst is an attractive and characterful Cambridgeshire village with a strong sense of community. Village life centres around the church, which hosts a variety of activities including coffee mornings, singing and craft groups. The village's original red telephone box has also been given a new lease of life as a popular book exchange. A particular local attraction is Johnsons of Old Hurst, a renowned farm shop and butchers, complete with a steakhouse restaurant and tea room serving locally sourced produce. Families are well catered for too, with a children's play area, farm walk and an eclectic collection of rare-breed animals. For everyday amenities, the market town of Huntingdon is approximately a 15-minute drive away and provides an extensive selection of supermarkets, shops, restaurants and public houses. Seller Insight The connection between the house and its surroundings has always been important to us. We added bi-fold doors to both the sitting room and dining room, bringing in more light and opening the principal living spaces directly onto the garden and the landscape beyond. The south-facing garden has been designed to be attractive but relatively easy to maintain. We replaced the patios, introduced raised beds and added a substantial gazebo, which has effectively created an additional living space. Furnished with sofas, a television and fridge, it allows us to spend much of the day outside while remaining sheltered from the strongest sun. Inside, the kitchen-diner is the room we use most. The large central island makes it a very sociable space, while the addition of a sofa means it works equally well for cooking, dining or simply sitting together. It has been particularly well suited to having our adult children and grandchildren to stay, with enough space for everyone to gather comfortably. Old Hurst itself has been an equally important part of our enjoyment of the house. It is a small, friendly village where we have made some very good friends, and Johnsons of Old Hurst with its farm shop, steakhouse, tearoom and zoo, is only a couple of minutes’ walk away. What we will miss most, however, is the setting. There is something quite special about looking out over uninterrupted fields and countryside while still feeling entirely private. It is that combination of expansive views, peace and seclusion that has made Oak Barn such an enjoyable place to live. Village Information Old Hurst is a small village lying approx. 5 miles from the market towns of Huntingdon and St Ives which offer a variety of high street and local independent stores, bars and restaurants, supermarkets and a wide range of sports and leisure activities. Within the village is the pretty parish church of St Peters which dates from the 13th century and is Grade II* listed. Johnsons of Old Hurst is a popular farm shop with coffee shop, woodland walks, farmyard animals and zoological gardens/tropical house; ideal for family outings. Although there are no schools within the village there is a good selection of well-regarded primary schools in the nearby villages of Warboys, Wyton-on-the-Hill and Houghton to name a few and well-regarded secondary schools in St Ives, Huntingdon and Ramsey. There are also regular bus services to Huntingdon and St Ives. Huntingdon has a mainline train station with fast commuter links into London King’s Cross in approx. 45 minutes and both Huntingdon and St Ives offer the popular guided bus service to Cambridge city centre.

For those seeking an exceptional country lifestyle, this is a property with the space, setting and facilities to make that aspiration a reality. Seller Insight There is a particular feeling you get when you realise you have found somewhere that could become entirely your own. For us, that was Pointers. We arrived to find a house with no immediate neighbours and 15 acres of land around it and immediately saw the possibilities. It was a blank canvas, somewhere we could create an easily maintained, natural refuge for wildlife, while making a home for ourselves and our dogs. I grew up in the countryside and, as a child, learnt to notice and appreciate nature and animals. That connection has always stayed with me, and at Pointers we have been able to create the kind of environment we love. Every tree, hedge, pond, paddock and walkway has been planned and planted by us, with the aim of making the land beautiful while encouraging as much wildlife as possible. What was once a bare stubble field has become a rich and varied habitat, with small woods threaded by paths and rides. The ponds have become a particularly special part of the landscape. There are two: a formal, fenced pond close to the house, complete with a waterfall and ornamental ducks, and a much larger flight pond towards the southern end of the property, which attracts an abundance of wildfowl. Visiting ducks and geese regularly nest on the island in the middle of the pond, adding to the feeling that the wildlife here is very much part of everyday life. There is something new to discover every day. We have an outstanding variety of butterflies and moths, as well as dragonflies, slow worms, grass snakes, foxes, badgers and deer. The birdlife is particularly wonderful, with swallows, barn owls, raptors, game birds and countless other species making use of the land. Quiet evening walks often bring the chance to see deer moving through the paddocks, while the ponds provide a constant source of activity and birdsong. We are passionate about pointing dogs, so having space to train them was another important part of creating Pointers. The paddocks have also provided a wonderfully useful setting for sheep, horses and ponies, and have even been borrowed by a local farmer for cows and calves. Over time, the land has become home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife and mammal species, while still remaining a practical and enjoyable part of the way we live. The house itself has more than doubled in size since we bought it, evolving alongside the landscape. It has become a spacious and comfortable family home, with generous reception rooms, a large kitchen and living area overlooking the surrounding farmland, and bedrooms enjoying views across the gardens, paddocks and countryside. Sitting slightly elevated on a natural rise, Pointers enjoys an amazing open outlook, with views extending well beyond the property's own land across the surrounding farmland and countryside. The elevated position means these far-reaching views can be enjoyed from both the ground and first floors, adding to the wonderful sense of space and seclusion. There are plenty of practical spaces too, including the garages, workshop, utility, stables and purpose-built kennels, which have all made the property work beautifully for the way we have lived here. Looking back, we feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to take a neglected property and create not simply a home, but a whole environment, one that continues to surprise and delight us with its wildlife, peace and sense of connection to nature.

Originally part of the prestigious `Drakes Estate,` the current owners have maintained the property since 1979. The Grade II listed Aisle barn, one of the few of its kind remaining in Buckinghamshire, dates back around 450 years, though its exact age remains unknown. The barn was originally constructed with five bays, all fully aisled, and stands as a rare example of historic craftsmanship. The charming cottage, once a stable, adds character to the overall property. Nestled in the scenic hamlet of Woodrow, High Barn Farm and Shires Yard occupy a prime elevated position, offering breathtaking views of the Chiltern countryside within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property sits on a plot of approximately 0.75 acres, with the exciting potential to purchase additional land to the front of the site. Currently Contains * Barn One - A four bedroom conversion with kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, four bedrooms and bathroom. * Barn Two - A two bedroom conversion with Kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. * Barn three - An undeveloped barn that could be converted into a two bedroom cottage (Subject to Planning) or Annexe. * Barn Four - This is attached to Barn One and remains undeveloped. So Subject to Planning this could double the size of Barn One, or be an independent property in its own right. Offering nearly 6,000 square feet of space (total), this property provides ample room for development or personal customisation. In 1982, part of the barn was converted, with two of its bays transformed into living space across two floors. This resulted in spacious accommodation, including four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen/dining room, two cloakrooms, a utility room, and a garage/store. The remaining three bays retain their original, vaulted design, with exposed oak timbers and a large, open space. Planning permission (CH/2017/0467/FA) was granted in March 2017 to further convert the remaining part of the barn into additional living space, adding another 800 sq. ft. to the property. Additionally, the adjoining stables were converted into a spacious end-terrace cottage, featuring two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room, two bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The property is complemented by extensive front gardens, mainly laid to lawn and featuring mature flowers, shrubs, and trees. The gravel driveways lead to both the front and rear of the property, with a large courtyard providing ample parking. The original open barn, with its tiled pitched roof, exposed beams, and brick work, offers covered parking for up to four vehicles. The barn store, at approximately 555 square feet, offers fantastic conversion potential into further living space, a studio, office, or other uses. Located within the picturesque hamlet of Woodrow, the property enjoys sweeping views over the Chiltern countryside. The hamlet is conveniently close to the market town of Amersham, where you`ll find an excellent selection of pubs, restaurants, boutique shops, and a supermarket. Amersham on the Hill, just two miles away, offers an overland and underground railway station, providing direct services to London Marylebone, Baker Street, Moorgate, and the City. The area boasts outstanding sporting facilities, with nearby golf courses at Harewood Downs, Beaconsfield, and Denham. Numerous footpaths and bridle ways provide scenic walking and riding routes through the Chilterns.
