Detached house to rent in Kingston Grove, Kingston Hill, Chinnor, Oxfordshire OX39

Overview

Kingston Grove is a delightful period house in a remarkably private and secluded setting framed by established parkland and ancient woodland on the Kingston Blount Estate. Nestled at the foot of The Chiltern Hills there are far-reaching views and a sense of tranquillity.

Though it is incredibly peaceful situated at the end of a 500-meter drive, you are only minutes away from the M40 and many lovely market towns of Thame and Watlington. Direct train services to London Marylebone from Princes Risborough and the Oxford Tube stops less than 2 miles away and runs all hours between London and Oxford.

The house has six bedrooms and five bathrooms upstairs, with very spacious living downstairs, a large family kitchen/breakfast room with 4 oven Aga, reception rooms including a dining room with a charismatic barrel ceiling, and a study. There are many period features of the house however the combination of the veranda and the extensive back ‘back of house’ makes it the ideal property for entertaining amongst family life.

Outside

There is plenty of parking to the side of the house. The gardens are mostly laid to lawn and sweep around the property to a swimming pool and adjoining orchard behind the house. There is also the additional use of grazing for horses if required.
