The PROPERTY
Freckenham House is a stunning unlisted Edwardian country house with an outdoor heated swimming pool, hard tennis court, garaging and beautiful grounds. Built in 1901, this attractive property was the main part of the large period residence, which was once home to the late Queen Mother’s Lady-in-waiting. Offering the grandeur and elegance of a large stately home, this good sized family house, has a wealth of attractive features including lead lined windows, open fireplaces, ceiling roses, dado rails, and high ceilings. Particular features of this fine house are the well proportioned reception rooms, generously sized bedrooms, uninterrupted and protected views from every window of its own extensive grounds with private woodland and magnificent specimen trees, which create a parkland setting for a home. The property also offers potential for annex/multi-generational living (stp).

OUTSIDE
Freckenham House is approached through a pillared entrance with automatic cast iron gates. A large private drive and parking area for the sole use of this property sits at the end of the shared drive. Two large private garages, with space for workshops lie off the private drive. Access to the property’s extensive private nature grounds lead off the entrance. The attractive and unspoilt private grounds have well maintained lawns, well stocked flower and shrub beds and a variety of mature specimen trees. Private woodland creates a magical setting to the west of the property and is reached by paths running through the trees. Nestled amongst the trees sits a summer house, with separate sauna and shower room. A short distance from the house is the large heated swimming pool, hard tennis court and greenhouse.
