A divine development opportunity at Prebendal House

An exciting and rare development opportunity has arisen at elegant Grade II listed Prebendal House in picturesque Parsons Fee in old Aylesbury. Formerly the home of notable parliamentarian John Wilkes from 1757-64, this prestigious period residence is now for sale complete with planning permission (and listed building consent) to convert into fifteen unique apartments with minimal structural alterations required for the majority of units.

Set to become a landmark development, the scheme offers a rare opportunity to create highly desirable homes within a prestigious house without equal in the area. Chartered Architects Freeland Rees Roberts have sensitively composed the scheme in sympathy with the building’s historic architecture and incorporating its stunning period features. Plus, there is provision for 24 parking spaces within the grounds, accessed via a grand gated entrance.

Ideally situated in established part walled grounds of approximately one and a quarter acres, Prebendal House provides a total square footage of 10,785 which includes a detached coach house. The main building contains well proportioned rooms over three floors with period features including impressive joinery and some Liberty fireplaces.
Intriguingly, under the house there is also a tunnel (now blocked up), which is believed to have led to the adjacent parish church, as well as two vaulted cellars.

A small oasis in the heart of Aylesbury, the new development will offer potential residents an exceptional setting. Adjacent to the local parish church, the building is close to both shopping facilities and main line train station – which provides frequent services into London Waterloo. Milton Keynes is only 17 miles away, while the M25 is within easy reach. What is more, Aylesbury is rapidly expanding with a growing population, construction of a new theatre and planned extension to the existing shopping centre.

The property is for sale by informal tender through agents, Christopher Pallet. Offers will be invited in September. There is a guide price of £2 million.
