6 bedroom detached house for sale

The Turret is a truly distinctive detached residence, offering approximately 3,541 sq ft of exceptionally versatile accommodation across three floors and occupying an enviable private setting on a no-through road above the village of West Wycombe. Surrounded by the beautiful Chiltern countryside and with the woodland of the Dashwood Estate on its doorstep, the property offers a rare combination of substantial family accommodation, privacy, character and an outstanding natural setting.

Originally built in the 1920s and now offered for only the second time, The Turret has been extensively transformed by the current owners, with a major programme of works undertaken in 2004 including two substantial two-storey extensions, a loft conversion and the addition of a detached double garage. The result is an impressive and highly individual home offering six bedrooms, multiple reception spaces and exceptional flexibility for modern family life.

The ground floor provides an excellent balance of formal and informal living space, with a generous lounge, separate sitting room and an impressive dining/family room, alongside a well-equipped kitchen, utility room and cloakroom. The arrangement creates plenty of space for family life and entertaining, whilst retaining a comfortable and welcoming feel despite the considerable scale of the accommodation.

The first floor provides four bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom with a dressing area and en-suite shower room, together with three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second floor adds two further bedrooms and a separate WC, whilst an additional loft/storage area provides yet more useful space. This upper level could be particularly well suited to older children, guests, independent family members, hobbies or home working, allowing the accommodation to evolve alongside the needs of its occupants.

The 2004 renovation also incorporated an impressive level of infrastructure which remains particularly useful today. The house was comprehensively rewired with a three-phase electrical supply, while Cat 5/Ethernet cabling and network points were installed throughout and brought back to a central media and communications hub. Audio cabling and CCTV infrastructure were also incorporated, creating a robust foundation for home entertainment, connectivity, security and modern smart-home technology.

Outside, the setting becomes even more impressive. The property is approached via a substantial driveway providing generous parking and a wonderful sense of arrival, surrounded by mature planting and established greenery. A detached double garage provides valuable additional space and benefits from its own dedicated electrical supply and fuse board.

The gardens are a particularly special feature, with generous areas of lawn, mature trees, established planting and a large patio creating a series of attractive spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining and simply enjoying the surroundings. Power has been thoughtfully extended to the patio and towards the bottom of the garden and shed, providing useful flexibility for lighting, entertaining, hobbies and gardening equipment.

Beyond the garden, however, lies perhaps the property's most captivating feature. The garden backs directly onto bluebell woodland, creating an exceptional natural backdrop and an unusual sense of privacy. As the seasons change, the woodland provides a constantly evolving outlook and reinforces the feeling that, despite being so conveniently positioned for the surrounding towns and transport links, you are genuinely immersed in the Chiltern countryside.

The wider setting is equally impressive. West Wycombe is steeped in history and character and sits within the Chilterns National Landscape, with its historic village, beautiful countryside and renowned West Wycombe Park close at hand. The surrounding area offers an abundance of scenic walks, bridleways and outdoor pursuits, whilst High Wycombe and Marlow provide an excellent range of shopping, dining, schooling and leisure facilities.

The Turret is a home with genuine individuality. Its distinctive architecture, turret, varied rooflines, mature gardens and extensive accommodation give it a character that is increasingly difficult to find, while the comprehensive renovation and exceptional infrastructure ensure it remains perfectly equipped for modern family life.

Above all, it is the combination of privacy, scale, character and setting that makes this home so special. A substantial family residence surrounded by mature gardens, with bluebell woodland beyond, yet within easy reach of Marlow, High Wycombe, the M40 and London — The Turret offers an increasingly rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of Chilterns living in a home that is quite unlike anything else.
