An impressive seven-bedroom Georgian home set out across four floors. There are period features throughout, most notably an impressive central staircase and entrance hall, as well as high ceilings, and lots of ornate period detailing.

The accommodation is perfectly suited to a family, with seven generous bedrooms, including two en suites and three large reception rooms, including a wonderful kitchen and family room with a large Aga. There is also a separate study and a utility room off the kitchen. Storage is plentiful with space in the cellar, the eaves of the second floor, and in the former stables, which also offers potential for further primary or secondary accommodation (subject to relevant consents).

Situated in the centre of Padbury, Academy House occupies an elevated position enjoying wonderful views from two aspects and is set back from the road. The gated driveway offers parking for several cars to the front and side of the house. The gardens of approximately 0.29 acres are mostly laid to lawn, with mature trees, hedging and shrubs surrounding, making it exceptionally private and full of interest. The garden extends to low-level rear fence allowing panoramic views of the local countryside.


Academy House is set in the middle of Padbury, a charming Buckinghamshire village surrounded by beautiful countryside and many wonderful walking routes.
The village has a popular local pub, butchers, church,
recreation ground and a 'good' rated Church of England
Primary School.

Nearby Buckingham is the closest town and offers many more facilities and the village benefits from quick and easy access into Oxford and London with excellent road and rail links. For commuters, there are trains from Milton Keynes to Euston Station in 36 minutes.

Other immediately local schools include the Royal Latin School in Buckingham, and independent schools in the area include Akeley Wood and Stowe. Oxford schools are also within reach, those include Lynehams, The Dragon School, Oxford High School, Ashfold Preparatory School and St Edward's to name a few.

    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
