Castle House is a large Grade I listed town house positioned on West Street in the centre of the historic county town of Buckingham. Whilst the main range of the house, which dates from around 1708, is built of red brick with limestone dressings, the much older east and west wings are of coursed limestone rubble to the ground floor with rendered timber framed construction to the first floor. The east range survives largely complete and evidently consisted of a large ground floor rooms, over a stone cellar with 2 chambers to the first floor, one being much larger than the other and with an open timber roof. The west range appears to have originally consisted of a large ground floor room over a cellar, with a first floor hall. It is believed both of these rooms were reduced by at least one bay.

Having been extensively renovated and restored by the current owner, over a period of a number of years, the house displays a range of character architectural features, including panelling, ornate chimney pieces, original windows and doors and cross beam ceilings.

Formally the stable block to the house, there are two 2 bedroom Grade II listed cottages dating from the mid to late 18th Century, providing excellent guest accommodation or are equally suited to be used as a home office. They have doors directly to the street as well as to the cobbled courtyard to the rear.

To the end of the cottages there is a gym with relaxation room and spa with a tub, shower and changing room.

Outbuildings at the house include two double garages a workshop and gardener's office with outside WC. There is also ample private parking off the road to the side of the grounds.

With their Grade II listed boundary wall, dating from the 18th Century with older origins, the gardens at Castle House are laid out in principally lawned terraces, with a range herbaceous borders, hedging and mature trees.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
