A grand Edwardian house has gone on the market for £5million.

The eight-bedroom detached house on The Avenue was completed in 1904 for property developer Robert Haden Tebb, who designed and built the Abbotsbrook estate in Bourne End.

Known as Priory Ford, the property boasts seven bathrooms, five reception rooms, and is set in expansive gardens featuring mature trees and a brook.

The property retains a classic layout that makes it suitable for both entertaining and day-to-day living.

The reception hall features wood panelling and an open fireplace, leading to a drawing room and a formal dining room.

A dining room is notable for its intricately carved wood panelling, comprising 36 oak portrait panels believed to be of Italian origin from the Tudor period.

A snooker room has an impressive Georgian fireplace and built-in storage.

The extended kitchen is fitted with bespoke contemporary cabinetry and premium appliances, including a Viking range oven and Sub-Zero fridge/freezer.

In the upstairs portion of the house, the Edwardian theme continues with a master suite featuring a south-facing balcony, Georgian marble fireplace, en suite bath and shower room, and a dressing room.

Across the landing is a private study and three further bedrooms with en suite facilities.

At the rear of the house, accessed via a separate staircase, are two additional double bedrooms served by a shower room, ideally suited for guest accommodation or a live-in nanny or au pair.

The property also offers ancillary accommodation, including a double garage with ground-floor storage, and a self-contained flat comprising a shower room and a kitchen/living/bedroom space.

Surrounded by private grounds, the property is accessed through electric gates and offers a variety of features, including a pontooned seating area at the water's edge, and a thatched boathouse accessed via a footbridge.

Located near Bourne End's thriving marina, the property has excellent transport connections and access into London.

The area benefits from a wealth of recreational opportunities, including sailing clubs, golf courses, and a selection of highly regarded restaurants.

Ideal for raising children, the property is also conveniently located for several leading grammar schools.

The current owner has undertaken a rigorous programme of renovation and extension since the early 2000s, preserving the house's original character while adding modern amenities.

The council tax band for the property is H, under the jurisdiction of Wycombe Council.
