Built circa 1810 on the site of a medieval manor house where Oliver Cromwell allegedly stayed in 1642, ‘The Stone’ at Pheasant Hill, Chalfont St. Giles in Buckinghamshire is a classically proportioned three bay, yellow stock brick country house.
Dominated by a central Doric porch and of three bays, this Grade II listed, 10,025 square house features accommodation over four floors that includes 6 reception rooms, 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.

Outside, aside from a 45-foot long heated swimming pool, there is a barbeque area with a wood fired pizza oven and within the 4.5 acre plot also there are formal gardens, a walled garden and woodland areas.
