There is also Chesham Grammar school for both boys and girls. Locally, there are a number of Independent schools including The Gateway, Pipers Corner, Heatherton House, The Beacon, Chesham Preparatory School, Godstowe, Wycombe Abbey and Berkhamsted. Harrow School and Eton College are within easy reach. DESCRIPTION Approached over a private avenue tree lined driveway and located on the edge of The Lee; a quintessential English Village, set in beautiful Chiltern countryside, Kingswood House has the best of both worlds. The Lee is a vibrant community with public houses and a variety of clubs and associations that centre around the village hall, along with a thriving Community shop, nursery, school, cricket club, WI and choir. There are 2 big summer events in the village. The Church Fete in June on the Green & The Flower Show on the cricket field. The local shopping centres of Chesham, , Great Missenden and Amersham are all within a country drive. Kingswood House is one of the principal properties within this most popular and sought after village. Formerly part of the The Lee Manor Estate, which has been owned by the Stewart-Liberty family for well over a hundred years. The aspects of the house never fail to please with the main reception rooms facing south and leading out onto a York stone terrace and gardens beyond. The current owner bought the house in 1993 when it was subject to major renovation and upgrading, part of the main works undertaken at that time was the creation of a large farmhouse kitchen. Originally constructed around 1805 the house has evolved over the years having been substantially extended, yet retaining many of the period features which give the property such charm and character. The entrance hall, sets the standard with an encaustic patterned ceramic floor, steps lead down to the drawing room which has a deep bay and French windows to a south east facing garden terrace. The remaining reception rooms are generous in size and the accommodation flows well. Stairs rise to the first floor landing where significant remodelling has created spacious principal and guest suites. The inclusion of a shower room to the second floor has devised most useful further bedroom accommodation. The annexe whilst being part of the main house, is independent and offers an ideal opportunity for a variety of further uses for either, family, staff or guests. Kingswood House Lodge was originally a small lodge house to Kingswood House. Over the years it was extended and sold away in the 1970’s. In 2001 the opportunity to purchase the property back arose and in 2003 The Lodge was subject to a major overhaul incorporating first floor bedrooms and bathroom accommodation. This has now created a most useful secondary property which has been let unfurnished since 2004 providing an advantageous income. Approximate Gross Internal Area:

First Floor GARDEN & GROUNDS The house sits toward the centre of its own land and enjoys privacy and protection on all quarters. During the 22 year stewardship of the current owner a regime of upgrading and improvement has been implemented for the gardens, buildings and paddocks. Whilst the layout of the gardens has been developed, the existing shrubs and hedges have been used to enhance the flow around the house, subdividing areas of lawn by the clever use of topiary, creating features and aspects with both water and flowerbeds. As the garden matured it was opened to the public via the National Garden Scheme from 1999 – 2012 and was renowned for the plantsmanship and stock levels which demonstrated the commitment and passion that has created a truly English country garden. The ‘Alitex’ greenhouse was commissioned in 2001 and the tennis court was installed in 1994 being resurfaced in 2011. The fields are all watered with the supply metered. The fences are stock proof with the interior fences being post and rail. Two footpaths cross the land, one being the celebrated Chiltern Way. There is a useful range of buildings, which will cover a variety of needs and include loose boxes, stores, barns, garages and feed stores.
