Frith Hill, Great Missenden, HP16

Elegantly designed to follow the natural contours of the hillside and maximise its commanding views, The Knowle is an exceptional detached residence offering over 5,000 sq ft of beautifully arranged accommodation across four levels. From the front, the house presents as a charming two-storey home; however, its unique design cleverly conceals the extensive and versatile living space within.

The main entrance opens into a spacious and welcoming reception hall, setting the tone for the generous proportions found throughout the home. This level features a traditional country-style kitchen complete with an Aga and walk-in larder, a separate formal dining room with an open fireplace, and a guest cloakroom. The conservatory/breakfast room adjoins the kitchen, offering far-reaching garden and tennis court views, with French doors opening onto a veranda—perfect for al fresco dining. Also on this level is the refined sitting room and the luxurious principal bedroom suite, which includes a large dressing room and en suite bathroom.

A wide staircase leads down to the garden floor, where you'll find a magnificent 30 ft x 16 ft drawing room with two elegant bay windows and a working marble fireplace. A dual-aspect study opens onto the gardens via French doors and enjoys lovely views over the lawns and central fountain. There is also a secondary utility room and additional cloakroom on this floor.

The lower ground floor houses a spacious family room and an adjoining games room, both with access to the lower lawn terrace—an ideal space to enjoy summer afternoons. A large utility room, cloakroom, and ample storage areas complete this level.

Ascending to the top floor, there are five well-proportioned bedrooms. One benefits from an en suite bathroom, while two enjoy dual-aspect views. The rear-facing bedrooms offer spectacular vistas of the surrounding Chiltern countryside. A family bathroom and a separate shower room serve the remaining bedrooms.

Outside
Set centrally within its beautifully landscaped plot, The Knowle is accessed via a private driveway with ample parking and a detached garage. The mature gardens are a true highlight, providing a tranquil retreat with sweeping lawns, established borders, and specimen planting. The top lawn leads to an all-weather tennis court and a private wellness area featuring an indoor pool, hot tub, changing room and shower.

For those with green fingers, there is a substantial vegetable garden, greenhouse, and multiple garden stores. Whether entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying nature, the outdoor space has been thoughtfully designed to suit every occasion.

Great Missenden is a charming historic village, first recorded in the Domesday Book, and once an important stop on the old coaching route before the arrival of the railway in 1892. Today, it is a highly sought-after location for commuters, offering a direct rail service to London Marylebone in around 40 minutes.

Despite its modest size, the village boasts an excellent range of amenities, including independent shops, a Post Office, doctors’ surgeries, a dentist, and a variety of cafés and restaurants. The surrounding Chiltern countryside is dotted with traditional country pubs and criss-crossed with scenic footpaths and bridleways, making it a haven for walkers, cyclists, and equestrians alike.

Education in the area is outstanding, with the village lying within the catchment for Buckinghamshire’s renowned grammar schools. Great Missenden is also home to The Gateway School—one of the leading preparatory schools in the South East—making the area particularly appealing for families.
