Deanshanger, Buckinghamshire

KEY FEATURES Kingfisher House

A substantial detached residence in a rural location and standing in around 1.5acres (approx. 2 additional acres available by separate negotiation). Comprising nine self contained suites- there is currently planning permission granted for an HMO although the property lends itself for use as an Aparthotel, Boutique Hotel, Serviced apartments or accommodation linked to the care sector as there is nursing home potential.

Alternatively the property could easily be reinstated to become a substantial country house. The highly appointed interior is in the agent’s opinion truly superb. The specification undertaken at the time of the original renovation was undertaken to an incredibly high standard.

SELLER INSIGHT

Surrounded by greenery and benefitting from access to Kingfisher Hotel, Golf & Country Club, Kingfisher House is a residential property on a site comprising of 100 acres and facilities, including a golf course, driving range, clubhouse, and hotel with dining and spa facilities. This is a truly unique opportunity to purchase a beautiful home in a peaceful environment that will really appeal to the luxury side of the care sector,” says the owner.

“The property was tired and outdated when we first purchased it, so my associates and I sat down to determine what we wanted to achieve from it. It was actually a simple decision in the end as the bedrooms in the hotel are always in demand, so we knew this would be best suited as an HMO and we decided to move forward with a set of 9 very good-sized self-contained suites that are just a stone’s throw away from the other facilities here on the estate. There is also the amazing opportunity to purchase additional land should the new owner wish to expand.”

“The suites in the property are named after local birdlife and are of different sizes and layouts - similar to what you would experience when booking a suite in a hotel - and all are finished to a high standard. The Eagle Suite is our largest and is set over two floors with living space downstairs and a kitchenette, dining, and bedroom area on the top floor. One of the suites has a balcony overlooking the beautiful surroundings; where better to enjoy breakfast and a cup of tea in the fresh morning air?”

“The set up will appeal to residents and their families as guests can stay at the hotel and enjoy all of the facilities before taking the short walk over to visit their relative or friend in Kingfisher House. I can easily envisage guests staying for the whole weekend as everyone has their own space and privacy but can still enjoy time together dining in the hotel restaurant or walking through the wonderful grounds.”

“There are a whole range of amenities in the nearby villages of Deanshanger and Stoney Stratford, including restaurants, pubs, markets, and shops. Buckingham and Milton Keynes are just a short drive away and the worldrenowned Bicester Village Designer Outlet is easily accessible too. Formula One and racing fans are well served as Silverstone is just 20 minutes away.”*
