- A Regency-era manor in south-east England is on the market for $3.6 million.
- The property in Buckinghamshire has a heated outdoor swimming pool, stables, and a lake.
Alscot Lodge, a mansion in Buckinghamshire, England, is on the market for £3.25 million, or around $3.6 million.
The property in south-east England has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and four reception rooms across two floors, according to Savills' online listing. It also has an outdoor swimming pool and stables.
The current owners have lived in the property for 13 years, and decided now is the time to downsize "because their children are now set up in their own homes," a spokesperson for Savills told Insider.
The Regency-style home has a mixture of period and modern features, making it ideal for fans of "Bridgerton."
The land and buildings which later became Alscot Lodge were purchased by John Evans Tarrant, a London solicitor, between 1829 and 1832, a spokesperson for Savills told Insider. The house was completed in 1838 in a style that reflects "the fashionable Regency villas and buildings" of London that Tarrant would have known, they added.
Today, the property has a mixture of period features, including fireplaces and sash windows with shutters, as well as some more contemporary elements, such as an extension with a garden room, the listing states.
The property is just a train ride away from London, offering both country living and city life.
Alscot Lodge is close to the market town of Princes Risborough, which is known for its shops, pubs, and weekly street market, according to Visit Buckinghamshire.
The town also has a train station with direct links to London, with frequent trains including a 35-minute service to London Marylebone, according to the listing.
The property comes with an outdoor heated swimming pool.
The heated swimming pool is in a private, walled garden area surrounded by fruit trees, including quince, apple, and medlar, the listing states.
It would be perfect for horse lovers as there are a range of equestrian facilities.
The property comes with a timber-built stable yard with four stables and additional stores, the listing states. The spokesperson told Insider the stables are currently empty.
Alscot Lodge could be described as a "mini estate," a spokesperson for Savills told Insider.
The luxury facilities, including the swimming pool, stables, lake, and gardens are a "lovely space to relax and unwind," the spokesperson said.
"It's a real mini estate – and very private behind electric gates," they added, referencing gates at the entrance of the property.
Inside the property, there is a reception room that has an archway entrance and a fireplace.
The current owners have decorated the room with a grand piano, a grandfather clock, and a couch.
The living area has a cozy feel, as it has a fireplace and is decorated with paintings on the walls.
There are several large windows, giving the room a lot of natural light.
The fitted kitchen has French doors leading out to the garden.
The kitchen is fitted with a breakfast bar, a stove, and built-in cupboard units.
The kitchen leads into the garden and family room, which has panoramic views of the gardens, the listing states.
The extension to the property was previously "a lean-to conservatory and untidy outbuildings" and was refurbished by the current owners in 2010-2011 to add the garden and family room, the spokesperson added.
The property has three bathrooms.
The bathroom photographed above has a bathtub, a shower area, and a window looking onto the gardens.
There are four bedrooms on the first floor of the property.
Each bedroom has been decorated differently, and the photographed room above currently has a double bed, curtains, a rug, and a bookshelf.
The ideal buyer would be a family who loves country living and gardening, a spokesperson said.
"I think we'll likely see interest from a family from London or a family looking to relocate from a nearby town who want country living," a spokesperson for Savills said.
"It would be ideal for someone who has a passion for gardening and who wants to have privacy, yet within close proximity to amenities and good communications to the capital," they added.
