A Grade II listed 17th-century, seven bedroom detached property with wraparound gardens, a gated driveway with off street parking, three carports and a workshop.

Bierton House, believed to date back to 1687, is accessed via a gated gravel driveway. Containing many character features such as original fireplaces, leaded casement windows, high skirting boards and high ceilings, it is divided over four floors, including a cellar, and has nearly 3,350 sq. ft. of accommodation. On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to four reception rooms (including the bespoke conservatory) and there is a kitchen/breakfast room with a utility room and a cloakroom off the entrance hall. The upper floors provide seven bedrooms, two with en suite shower rooms plus a family bathroom with a separate shower room alongside. All rooms, except bedroom six, which has a triangular bay window, overlook the front with views of the Chilterns. Outside there are lawned gardens with mature trees, hedges and shrubs providing good levels of privacy, while a timber framed detached barn includes three open faced triple car ports, a storage barn, and a workshop.
